iCucina Blenders for Shakes and Smoothies, 300W, 2 * 28 oz To-Go Portable Cups with Lids, Personal Blender, Easy to Clean, for Kitchen, Juices, Baby Food, Food Processor

Update: I still love this product. It is hard to seat the item to get it to turn on if you have smaller weaker hands. I just use a gripper to turn it. I can tell it will get easier over time.This friend turned me onto his smoothie recipe. I went to make it in my nuwave small blender, and it died. I mean DIED. EXPIRED. It was no more! SMOKE came out of it! I had an antique one from 20 years ago I had never taken out of the box. Well, guess what: TRASH. Wouldn't run. I pulled out my old magic bullet that I had put back - about 15 years old. It died.I ordered this out of desperation. Delivered same day. WOW! It's AWESOME!

Works great...highly recommend this product...I bought it over a year ago, use it all the time never a problem

This unit is very much like the GNC Bullet blender I've had. So much so in fact that the lids are interchangeable. This has more power than the GNC, the only nice thing about it. Bad design in several ways. They have redesigned the gasket which is in the part with the blender blades. When you screw it onto the tumbler container you have to screw it snug to prevent leaking. When you remove it, to replace it with the drinking cap, the gasket clings to the rim of the tumbler, and comes out of the blender cap. Wouldn't be that much of an inconvenience except to say that it is actually too small a diameter to fit easily back into the groove where it goes. Get it in one side, and it pops out of the opposite. There's also raised areas, I suppose this is intended to keep the gasket down in place with use, but all they do is prevent your fingers from being able to press the gasket fully down into the groves circumference. Hence, this adds to the difficulty of getting the gasket to remain in the grove. One other design flaw, different than the GNC unit, is that when you attempt to remove or replace the blender you press the on off button inadvertently, starting the unit up, while holding it in order to grip the top and bottom for removal. The GNC model you had to rotate a dial to turn it on our off or select speeds, so it was not possible to inadvertently turn it on. Looking for a different unit, and to return this flawed design one. Wish I would have read reviews first.

I wanted to like this, and I really did at first. It was a perfect size for my dorm kitchen without taking up too much space, but it broke after maybe 2 months. It had trouble turning on for the few weeks leading up to it and then one day just stopped working. Sad but oh wellUpdate:Even though I bought this a while ago and just barely reviewed it, I was offered a full refund by the company. Though the product was disappointing, very impressed by the company’s willingness to remedy the problem, so upped the stars to 4:)

Do you know the best part of smoothies and post-workout shakes? *Drinking them,* obviously. The worst part? Cleaning that monster blender, the pitcher, the lid, the blade base—*ugh,* it’s like I just signed up for dish duty in a frat house.But this iCucina blender? It *gets* me. It’s like the hot barista of blenders—charming, efficient, and doesn't leave a mess. I blend it right in the cup, slap on the travel lid, and I’m off looking cute with my protein-packed drink like I’m starring in a fitness commercial. No extra dishes. No mess. No judgment.And yes, I’m drinking straight outta the same cup I blended in. *Like a boss.* Bonus points for coming with *two* 28 oz cups—because one smoothie is never enough and I’ve got goals, honey.Honestly, if this blender had a dating profile, I’d swipe right so hard I’d break the screen. Are you married, iCucina? Asking for a friend. And by “friend,” I mean *me.*

Muy buena calidad

I was looking forward to a "personal" blender. I was not happy with this product. First, it smelled as if it was burning each time I used it (I used it every week day. I only blended smoothies, mostly liquid when using frozen fruit or veg I would let the veg/fruit sit out to unthaw a bit. Still had a terrible smell. Then in less than a month, it quit working altogether, sadly.

This little blender is nice for me. I like to blend up fruit for various recipes, but it's never a large enough amount for me to want to use the massive blender we have. I like this because it's super easy to use and MUCH easier to clean than the big blender. I blend up some fruit with this and then add a little more when it's blended up. If I'm blending more than it can handle at once I just pour out what's blended into my mixing bowl and then blend up more. You're not supposed to put too much in or it won't work well, but if you understand this and use it as directed, it works. Sometimes the fruit gets stuck to the bottom and it can't get blended up there, but I just take the container off the mount, shake it up, and blend more.
