I bought this and tried it out on the first day. I tried to make a smoothy with yogurt, banana, frozen strawberries and small ice cubes. The motor started smoking so I stopped. I finally got the smoothy to blend, but the smoke was crazy. I returned it the next day.

I bought this as a replacement because my white one broken after not using it for several months. The white one broke because the seal between the plastic and blade dried up and cracked. I hope this does not happen to this one if I continue to use it daily. The white one gave good use for over a year before I stopped using. The white one included two lids, the sipper and mixer lid. This one only includes the sipper lid, but was a few dollars cheaper.

Could only be better if it was more like the "bullet" and the blade was easily removed for cleaning. But I also like how this has the liquid measure on the side where others do not.

Works nicely for mixing up those breakfast protein shakes but the lid started cracking after only 3 months of daily use so when mixing it leaks at that point, I have to try to plug it with my finger to stop it from leaking onto the counter, other then that i'm happy with how easy it is to use and clean.

it's definitely convenient, and easy to wash, and perfect for blending frozen fruits! its so small and doesn't take up much space, yet it works so well and i love the color

blades are pretty small, I need to shake the machine couple times when making smoothies.
