Hamilton Beach Portable Blender for Shakes and Smoothies with 14 Oz BPA Free Travel Cup and Lid, Durable Stainless Steel Blades for Powerful Blending Performance, White ( 51101V)

I already have a big, solid blender, but I needed something smaller to mix protein shakes and this blender is perfect for that. I like that the container is also a drinking cup. Less washing, less work, ok price, bpa free cup - for me a great product. It can be different for grinding harder ingredients, but I only mix powders in it so it should last me forever. Good thing it doesn't take up much space and it's not ugly at all like other similar blenders ;)

Omg I love this little convenient blender , is small but so powerful and holds exactly how much I need. The fact that it can turn into a cup right off of the blender , I love. The blades are sharp, there is only one speed but effective and it's a cute pink which was the cherry on top for me. I love making my smoothie every morning in this blender, great design.

Great value for what it is. Blends most things easily. Powerful enough to handle all fruits and veggies. Nice design, fits in small spaces and easy to store. Can overflow if too much liquid is put in.

This is a nice little inexpensive blender. Something happened to the little blender that I'd bought for my smoothie-making, and I thought that maybe I could fix it, but didn't have the time to pay attention to blender repair and, with warm weather just around the corner, absolutely needed a blender for smoothies! So, I went looking for something small, easy to use, and inexpensive, and this is exactly that. Some reviewers say that it's cheaply made, but it seems fine for me, and had a nice selection of colors to choose from (I got the light blue). It feels sturdy, holds just the right amount for a generous glassful of morning smoothie, I haven't had a problem crushing a cube of ice (though I generally crush my ice a bit first), It's easy to clean as long as I put water into it to soak right away. So, I haven't fixed my older one yet. This one quickly buzzes up my morning drink, and is kind-of perfect for me.

Easy to use and works great. Plug in, add ingredients and blend. Easy to clean also.

The media could not be loaded. 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 bought this is Aug24, it's now Mar25 and it no longer works. I used it semi-regularly but that seems like a short time frame to have something. I liked the auto-shutoff after a limited time and it seemed to have decent power but I wouldn't buy another one bc it must be a cheap value to die that quickly. I guess $21 isn't v expensive and you get what you pay for.
