Hamilton Beach Portable Blender for Shakes and Smoothies, 14 Oz BPA Free Travel Cup & Lid, Durable Stainless Steel Blades, Personal Smoothie Blender, Raspberry, 51131G

This is a super little blender. It does a good job of mixing up soft smoothies. Meaning those kind of smoothies with mostly soft and easy to blend up ingredients. It can take crushed ice and make it smaller but it has a rough time with full size ice cubes. The driving force for the blades is plastic and be aware that it will eventually break under heavy usage. I like this little blender just because it's so easily portable and lightweight. You can mix something up real easy do a quick rinse and then throw a little extra water and soap inside and blend that and rinse it again and it's completely clean! I got a second one as a gift for a friend's birthday because she liked mine so much. Again, don't expect this to be a Workhorse! I have one of the big brand names that begins with the letter n and that has a super duper motor and Metal drive train type deal and that thing will last forever. But for convenience and quick and easy to use, I reach for this little Hamilton Beach blender each and every time.

Well made and I love the color! Works great and easy to use. Cleanup is a snap. Makes my protein shakes with ease.

This is my favorite travel & home blender. It fits in a suitcase and whenever we travel, I take it with us to make our morning fruit smoothies. It works well on fruits like apples, pears, peaches, nectarines, bananas, avocados, grapes, and berries. Even works on green leaf veggies. Isn't strong enough to work effectively on carrots or other hard veggies or ice cubes. I think celery may be too stringy for it. But you can quickly make tasty fruit smoothies. It's important to wash the cup immediately or it will stain. I gave one to a friend who uses it everyday.

I use this for my Carnation Instant Breakfast in the mornings and it does a perfect job. Small and compact takes up very little counter space. FIVE STARS!

Great value and wonderful gift for the juicer in your life. This blender is right size for personal use or sharing with a buddy. Powerful motor and not as loud as full size blender. The charging cord makes this a ture portable blender, you can take on the go. I will buy this again and get one for my brother.

I used it to make breakfast smoothies 3-5 times a week and a few milkshakes. I think it would be better for making milkshakes than smoothies because I had to cut my fruit up small in order for it to blend it, and I usually had to stop the blender to stir things up a few times while making a smoothie. It started smoking after 4.5 months of use. It was a good option for a starter blender before I knew I was going to stick to taking breakfast smoothies to work.

I’ve used this several times already. It makes a nice creamy shake. There was no problem crushing the frozen fruit that I added. The fruit blended perfectly well. Hopefully this will last a while. I’m old enough to remember when appliances lasted years, if not decades. Now we’re lucky if they last months. But Hamilton Beach is a good brand so hopefully I will have this for a long time.

It does not blend ice very well (I almost choked on an ice cube from my smoothie). There’s also a smell that comes when you blend for too long. For the price it’s a good blender. Easy to clean and I like that I can remove the cup and take it with me.

Smoke coming out with the first use. Very disappointing.

Excelente compra! Prático, fácil e eficiente! Ótimo preço. Recomendo!!

Quedé encantado con esta batidora. Yo la uso para preparar los batidos de mis suplementos (casi todo en polvo), a veces añado frutas, y lo mezcla todo muy bien; nunca le he echado hielo. No es ruidosa; el vaso es de material grueso y se lava fácilmente; y abarca poco espacio. Se transporta sin dificultad porque el motor no está pesado. Pero el cable sí está corto. Se necesita un contacto eléctrico cerca. Yo sí la recomiendo.

One of my fav brand!!

Muy practica y funcional
