this has become my everyday blender for whey/collagen shakes. I like that it blends to a smooth consistency with minimal foam. The product claims it can blend frozen fruit. I tried small sliced piece of a frozen plantain and it did not blend it up. It left it in one big chunk. It not prevent it from blending my shake though - that still blended, but the plantain slice was left whole for the most part and mushy.One big plus of this blender is where it screws into the motor base, there is a plastic part that goes over the base - so when you add your contents to be blended, none of that liquid is going to enter the motor base due to the plastic being over it. It’s like a shield - it’s definitely a great feature b/c other brands will typically just screw into the base and your contents over time work their way into the base which can cause problems later on. This one however is not like that at all due to the protective covering.When you screw in the plastic, make sure you hear the click, this will emit a flashing white light - this lets you know that you are securely in the base and you can add your contents.The cup is a generous amount - i have yet to hit the max fill line. The lid sits secure at the top, just make sure you close where you sip or else your contents will come out.It ships with a full battery. I’ve been using it everyday for 2 months and I still have not needed to charge it.Cleanup is simple - just squirt some soap, fill with water, and blend, then rinse.My only con for this unit is the charge port is on the side of the motor base and it’s open. There’s no plug that sits inside it. I would have liked to have seen this charge port at the bottom or at least with a plug so water doesn’t get inside.All in all, i like it but if a product claims it will blend frozen fruit, then it should be able to fulfill that, and this one does not.
