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

I have too much of an attachment to this blender. From the price point, the ease of use, the reliability whatever it is.. it’s just perfect. I make a protein shake everyday with a few ice cubes, protein powder, a banana, and milk. There is no other blender I would want. I even had this same exact one in red for YEARS and it still worked perfectly fine but for some reason I donated it ??? I just thought I’d buy a more expensive “better” branded one but why?? Well I missed it so much I had to buy a new one. I accidentally dropped the cup and the bottom is cracked now BUT it still works just fine and I love it. I clean it with a big bottle brush after use. I will always rebuy this cheap blender because it is the best for my daily shakes and I love it.

I use this for smoothies and shakes. It is so convenient and easy to use. Convenient for single servings. This works best with softer fruits. Not heavy duty. Great for what I needed.

Decent one cup blender. It works pretty good and has some neat features. What I like: can blend and drink from cup. Small and quick to use. Easy to clean up. Dislikes: not very powerful. Develops a weird smell from the motor if you're blending for too long. I really think the motor is a bit underpowered for what it's doing. The cap has a slightly weird fit which could be improved. Overall pretty good for the price, but I would probably invest in a more durable, higher powered one in the future.

I’ve had this blender since 2018! This blender still going strong. By far the best individual blender for quick smoothies. Works with ice as well. I use it mostly in the summer for my kids breakfast smoothies.

I recently got this portable blender and I’m really happy with it. It’s super convenient to take on the go and blends smoothies and shakes quickly without leaving chunks behind. The size is perfect for single servings, and it’s easy to clean afterward, which I love. The design feels sturdy and the lid locks securely, so I don’t have to worry about spills. It’s not meant for super heavy duty blending, but for fruits, protein shakes, and small smoothies, it works perfectly. Overall, a simple, practical, and portable blender that makes daily smoothies so easy.

This works fine for single-serving protein shakes and smoothies. It’s very lightweight, which makes it convenient for quick use. For simple blends, it does the job. However, the motor doesn’t seem very strong. If you blend for too long, there’s a noticeable smell. The biggest issue is the lid. It’s very flimsy and there’s nothing locking it in place. It just kind of sits on top, so it comes off very easily. There’s a drink opening built in, but I don’t recommend using it. I accidentally knocked mine over and the lid popped right off since there’s nothing securing it, and my smoothie went everywhere. Total mess. Overall, it’s okay for light, quick shakes or smoothies, but the lid design really needs improvement.

This blender doesn't have a ton of bells and whistles. It's not battery powered, it doesn't auto blend, it has just one speed and you gotta hold the button on down. And, it's PERFECT. I was using a Blendjet 2 for travel until TSA confiscated it as a weapon. You can't check a Blendjet because of the lithium ion battery either. I ordered this as an alternative hoping it would work and it's exactly what I need. It's cute, small enough to throw in a bag and blends up bananas and baby carrots exactly as a blender should. Totally worth it and will definitely buy again when this one wears out some day. Total game changer for healthy living as a frequent flyer.

Well, I am just a glutton for punishment. I just ordered this for the 5th time in 3 years. They seem to be pretty good until month 6 or 7. I only blend two things, a milk,-powder-frozen banana smoothie or a milk-powder-ice cube latte. The first time it stopped working, the nylon gear in the base had become shredded and would not catch. I thought this was because I was pressing on the lid so hard to make sure it did not leak. The next time the machine failed, it was the prop support in the cup, which turned but did not engage the blade. . Third time it failed, the blade in the cup was not able to push hard enough to chop the frozen fruit. I had the cup from the previous machine but it only lasted a few months more. This time, the blade does not resist the frozen bananas. It turns if empty, and can swirl liquid around, but the frozen banana, blackberries or ice cubes are too hard. I really am attached to my morning smoothie and love the ease of use of the little blender. Last experiment to keep the next blender alive, I will freeze the bananas in smaller chunks, not in the 5 or 6 inch lengths.
