Hamilton Beach Portable Blender for Shakes and Smoothies, 14 Oz BPA Free Travel Cup & Lid, Durable Stainless Steel Blades, Personal Smoothie Blender, Tranquil Blue (51172)

I highly recommend….98% of complaints are user error!
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!!

Perfect
I’m really happy with this portable blender. It’s lightweight, easy to use, and blends smoothies surprisingly well for its size. I like that I can make a quick drink and take it with me without transferring to another cup. Cleaning is also very easy, which is a big plus.Great for protein shakes, fruit smoothies, and everyday use. Definitely worth the price!

Works for Smoothies, Struggles with Ice, and is Lower Quality than Old Hamilton Beach Blenders
The blender is a good value if you get two cups with it. The cup size is decent and you can drink straight out of it if you want, but I prefer to pour out my smoothies and clean the inside right away. I had an older Hamilton Beach portable blender that after a while, no matter how much I cleaned it, there was an awful smell that wouldn’t go away.This blender has decent power and is a little louder than my old blender. It works well, blends fruits and vegetables. I wouldn’t blend ice cubes or frozen fruit, as you can tell it struggles. The one downside is the plastic lid is thinner than my old Hamilton Beach Personal Blender and is quite flimsy. The cup itself is also less sturdy. You can tell quality is going down over the years as with most everything.
