Mueller Personal Blender for Shakes and Smoothies with 15 Oz Travel Cup and Lid, Juices, Baby Food, Heavy-Duty Portable Blender & Food Processor, Grey

After buying and returning two other, more expensive rechargeable brands, I decided to take a chance on this corded one.I'm both glad and sorry I did. I'm glad that it works beyond my expectations; easily producing excellent smoothies.I'm sorry because I didn't buy the slightly more expensive version that comes with an extra travel cup. The downside of using the blender cup for travel is that I'm lugging around the bottom part containing the blades that's permanently attached.Not only does this make it more difficult to drink every drop, it creates a cleaning problem. The instructions say to clean the cup ASAP after use by adding a little watter and dish soap and running the blender a few seconds, then rinse. But when on the go, I have neither the motor base nor any dish soap. The solution was easy enough, I guess. I just pour the smoothie into a travel mug so I can clean the blender immediately after use. This is probably a better solution, as the travel cup that comes with the more expensive version appears to be uninsulated.While that solution is easy enough, be advised there is no way to actually get to the blades, as they are part of the permanent base of the cup. That cost a star, as I'm worried something might damage one of the four blades or get stuck on one, like a nut, for example. Also, the instructions say to add no more than four, one inch square ice cubes. I actually had to buy a dollar store cheapie ice tray just to make chilled smoothies using some of the 10 recipes the excellent manual has in the back.The manual, by the way, is well illustrated and in English, not a translation. The manual lists the manufacturer with a CA address, but one reason I decided to try this blender is because the name suggests it is a German company. The manual confirms this, because the U in the name on the cover has the two dots above it as is common in German.Would I buy this again? Probably not. This was my first experience making or even drinking smoothies. I didn't realise that smoothies tend to contain a lot of foam, so I'm out of smoothie before I'm satisfied. My next one will be at least a 24 ounce one. But for the price, and as long as you don't want a big gulp size smoothie, this inexpensive blender is a gem.

Great blender as soon as I got it I try it out amazing, blends all the ice and fruit well great speed. But before you use it make sure you lock the cup in place, or it won't turn on which is a great safely Feature for me safely first. Especially if you have kids they can't turn on the blender amazing item I highly recommend this item price was great. Also the best protein plant base in the picture

Very convenient little blender, works quite well.It takes a very little space and does a nice job of blending different liquids or vegetables or fruits or whatever you decide to make for your smoothie

Powerful and portable. Able to mix multiple fruits yogurt and ice together

Does what it claims...makes a great smoothie. Not expensive, does not look expensive...but it works.

It is perfect for my morning smoothie. Blends everything perfectly. Easy to store and I like the way the cord wraps up out of the way. I like everything about it.

Only can use 1 min at a time then have to let it rest for 3 mins per instructions. It overheats very quickly.

I would say this is a pretty great blender it is super easy to work and has a really great quality and speed I will say the only thing is it is really small I feel like in the picture it does make it look bigger then it actually is but so far me and my family have had no issues
