This is a dumb question but is this product a portable/ battery operated blender? I work in my car, so if it's portable that would be great.

No its a blender cup that fits in the blender area of the oster blender/ mixer, like the glass container of a blender.

Personally, I'm very pleased with it and the ease of use. Then again, this is replacing my 20+ year-old blender --- so my expectations may not have been as high as owners with more recent blenders.

I have no idea, I don't own a car. I can tell you that it's merely a regular household appliance, just like a toaster or a blender or most countertop appliances.

I love this blender!!! I put it right in the hot pot of soup on the stove...5 minutes all is blended! Amazing tool! Takes 2 minutes to clean.

Not a clue as to why anyone would think of using a Mason Jar on a Blender??? Ummmmm...not a good idea it seems. However, I have this blender and it is GREAT! I Love it! Is powerful and easy to use...definitely recommend it. :) :) :)

Depends on how often you make them. Even the best blenders will burn out if used too much. Best case scenario is if it's for daily use, don't purchase this.

Never tried it, but that thing is so powerful that I don't think it would be a problem, but you still ave the pulb, so it would be a smoothie not a juice, I LOVE THIS BLENDER, so powerful, super easy to clean, worth every dollar

I have the Bamix Pro, my second Bamix and I have loved mine. I wore the first one out, like, worked it to death in about 13/15 years. So sorry your doesn't meet your expectations. I don't even own a blender.

Hey there! I know there are blenders out there that impressively make "snow" from the ice cubes you put in it, but I have never even tried that with this blender. This blender has a 1200 watt motor and has made the creamiest smoothies from frozen fruit, frozen yogurt, and about 8 oz of liquid base, so simply grating ice to the consistency you are hoping for seems a task this blender would rise to. The NativeJuicer website has recipes and blogs that may be more helpful to you in answering this question, and I highly recommend you visit there before you buy!

Honestly, I would say avoid this blender for smoothies. Mine burned up on Kale. Take the plunge and buy a Ninja. If I had done so, I would've paid only 100$ instead of 150$ (50 for this blender and 100 for the Ninja.).

I bought this blender(paid $289 total cost) to make veggies/fruits smoothie and its performance to other blender brands costing $400+. I don't see why you can't make hot soup with this blender.(Although I haven't tried/never needed it.)I don't really care if this blender takes longer to blend things together than others costing hundreds of dollar more, what matter is the end result of what you intended to mix. It's like: Toyota Camry is a good car, Honda Accord is a good, which car "performs" better is a subjective thing.

I own this blender, however only have used it to crush ice and make smoothies. Sorry can't answer your question really, however it looks like perhaps you may do as you say, hold something at a different level or some action such as that.

If it is in good working condition, it will make a smoothie. However, MY unit was defective. It made a horrible noise, shaked and acted like it was going to explode. I did get mymoney back so they were good about that. I had an Acme juicer for years and years, it's an older juicer, but it was stainless steel, and worked so well. I was sorry I gave it away when I got the Big Boss. I still have not gotten another juicer so now I am without. I WOULD NOT recommend this terrible juicer. There has to be something else out there that is good. Maybe the Breville juicer. Sorry, them's the truth. If it is in good working condition, it will make a smoothie. However, MY unit was defective.

I would tell you to avoid this blender, because the electric motor is designed to burn right after waranty, but you already bought it. It does not come with this to my knowledge. For anybody else reading this post, please do not buy this cr**.

I would just return it because ours did not make one smoothie before the motor burned out. We have been making smoothies for awhile so we're pretty good at it therefore I don't believe it was user error it is just a poor quality product. In the case of personal blenders I have found the old adage you get what you pay for to be true. For a longer lasting product that makes quality items I would get a Nutribullet or a Ninja. My husband prefers the Nutribullet and I prefer the Ninja but they both are excellent products. If you do want or need something smaller and/or cheaper I would go with the Oster personal blender. Ours lasted a about year and a half making 2-3 smoothies 3-4 times a week. I would just return it because ours did not make one smoothie before the motor burned out.

I think this blender is not good enough for fine purees. If you need fine purees then go for another one. Cheers !

I guess there has to be some problem with its motor,I didn't overwork for sure,just stopped suddenly.You would definitely wanna keep away from it...I am sure there are better blenders out in d market.
