I honestly am still confused about the “thickness” rating option. BUT I did buy this blender to do smoothies for my mornings and post-workout. I’m pleasantly surprised and impressed by the lid doubling as a cup/to go lid so I can drink right out to it. I was also pretty impressed at how easy it was to clean. I’ve normally been put off using a blender because I know the cleaning is usually a hassle to take apart etc. This Didn’t need to be taken apart and still cleaned properly. It blends super easy, is quick and I think would be great for making pesto in as well? Only had it for a couple months but used frozen fruit / ice in it and it worked well. I have a history of breaking blenders at people’s houses trying to make margaritas and it not being able to handle the ice. I guess serves me right for not serving them on the rocks. Either way. Get this blender. I don’t know why I’m still doing this review. it’s good value.

I got this blender for my toddler who doesn’t like to eat solid food. I was worried that he’d missing out on important nutrients. I’m so happy I got this, I’m able to eat blend various nutritious foods and give to him. And did I say how smooooooth it blends the food? Omg, perfect!
It’s convenient too. I was able to travel with it , it’s not too large. Perfect size for my toddler, great quality item.

No issues and works great and you absolutely can’t beat the price. Love it for whip cream and blending my matcha concentrate. No issue with its ability to blend ice cubes and it so easy to remove and place in top rack of dishwasher for cleanup.

I actually came here to post a 2-star review, because I’ve been using this to make spinach smoothies with frustratingly random results. Then, I saw a 5-star review that gave instructions about using it properly. Okay, so I decided to try what was said in that review.
For the most part, it seemed to work better. Putting the ingredients in one at a time, mixing them, then putting more in with more liquid is definitely helpful. However, I still found myself having to constantly stir it to get rid of air bubbles and other obstructions, despite not using a whole lot of ingredients in the smoothie. Overall, I’d say it works for what it’s supposed to, but isn’t as convenient as I would like.
It is as noisy as your usual blender, so don’t expect quiet from it. At the very least, it’s fairly easy to clean each night. I do use it nightly to make a spinach smoothie that replaces one meal a day.

98% of the videos I watched of ppl complaining abt this product were bc they weren’t using it correctly!! I honestly wish I could msg them & tell them that! First thing I saw, they were saying the cup wouldn’t stay in the base to blend. YOU HAVE TO TURN IT & LOCK IT INTO PLACE! There’s a pic of a lock & unlock on the bottom of the cup & u set it in on the unlock & turn it to lock. The 2nd one was saying the lid would just sit on top so liquid would leak out. No, the lid actually fits on very well, maybe a lil too well, & it’s hard to get on. U rly have to work at getting it on but once it’s on, it’s on, & it won’t leak! Then prob the most important one, YOU MUST ADD LIQUID TO BLEND IN THIS MACHINE!!! U can’t just add fruit or vegetables & expect it to blend without adding any liquid. That’s not how this one works. If that’s what ur looking for u need a veg chopper & not this. This is geared towards a smoothie maker! There is a minimum liquid marker at the bottom & u have to add at LEAST this amt of liquid to start with & ur prob going to need more! Also, blend in stages. Don’t cram the whole thing full to the top & again expect it to blend. Here I added almond milk, frozen bananas & blended it & then added the rest of my frozen fruit & MORE LIQUID, blended & ended up stirring some & added more liquid. U may have to stir it up a lil or if ur lid is on tight & correctly while it’s blending, u can tilt it to side to side, front to back, & get ur ingredients moved around. This is also made to pulse the products & run for short periods of time. One review said she ONLY ran hers for 10-15 min & didn’t know why it started smelling funny!! Umm hello! U can’t run this lil thing that long! It’s not made to go for 15min at a time. This is an amazing lil smoothie maker if u use it correctly. This is actually my 2nd one bc I lost my 1st one & had to repurchase another one. Again, don’t use it for anything ur not adding liquids to bc it won’t work. If ur just wanting something to chop fruit & vegetables then get one of those lil choppers for that. This won’t work. If ur looking for something to make smoothies, iced coffe, soups, or anything like that then I highly recommend this!!

I love these things. They wear out after like 2-3 years but they’re super handy while they last as they are much easier to clean and store than a full size blender, and the price point is hard to quibble over. Not too noisy, with surprising blendability and capacity–good for cooking for 2 people.

This has lasted me a couple years of my children asking for a smoothie every morning! Little thing, but gets the job done. Not multi use though, only really for smoothies. After years of using it constantly, it has stained (my fault) and a slight crack in the lid. But I’d say over all I’ve put it through hell and it’s still kicking!

It does what it’s supposed to do. Not super powerful, but perfect for simple tasks like protein shakes or light smoothies. Easy to use and clean, and great for quick blends on the go. Good value if you just need a small, portable blender.

So I picked up this little guy to replace the one I had before, right? I’ve been on this whole health kick thing lately. You know, the smoothies with the fruit, the protein, the chia seeds, all that good-for-you stuff. Here’s what I like: It’s small and doesn’t hog up the counter like some big clunky thing. Holds just under 14 ounces, which is perfect for a quick shake. One button. That’s it. No nonsense. The lid snaps on nicely and doesn’t leak all over the joint. And cleanup? Super easy. Now, the not-so-great stuff: You gotta watch the fruit size. You throw in big frozen chunks of mangos, whatever it ain’t gonna break ‘em down too good. And listen, if you don’t add enough liquid up to that minimum fill line, those powders? They clump up like cement; they stick to the sides ah no good. But the bottom line? I’m happy with it. Works good, does what it’s supposed to.
$23.99Original price was: $23.99.$9.99Current price is: $9.99.
