It's a nice product to have in the kitchen. Very easy to use especially on busy mornings. Light and easy to wash and occupies little space. It's perfect for my protein shakes.

Works very well, it's a strong little blender perfect for my morning smoothies, Easy to fill, easy to clean. I even add some chocolate discs, and I'm surprised how easily it chops the chocolate and distributes throughout the smoothie.

I just used this for the first time tonight and mixed up a simple smoothie of two bananas, frozen blueberries, a bit of water and some soy milk. It handled that easily enough and now I have a healthy, yummy smoothie to take to work tomorrow. No burning smell that others have mentioned even though I had the motor running for quite a bit, and it's a convenient size to store away with a little ridge in the bottom to tuck away the power cord. And I really like the simple, bare-bones design since I don't mix very complex things or have very high demands. I purchased this for the purpose of mixing up healthy fruit smoothies I could take to work for breakfast, and it looks like it will work perfectly for my uses and expectations.

The only concern I have is that the motor may burn out soon, since it really isn't terribly powerful. As of now though, I'm very happy with my $20 investment.

So easy to use and the cleanup is easy also. Great for if you have to rush in the morning like the most of us!

I picked this up since I drink a protein shake almost every day after my workouts, and I thought it would be an easier way to make my shakes, instead of using a larger blender.  For making these shakes, it's perfect!  I usually add a frozen banana and frozen berries to my protein powder and milk, and this little thing makes them thick, smooth, and frothy -- with every bit of frozen fruit blended!  There have been no chunks of frozen fruit.

That being said, when I've tried to grate cheese and cut onions in here, I've not been so lucky.  The cheese has gotten smashed up, and, no matter how many ways I've tried pre-cutting the onions, I don't wind up with consistent chunks.  For that reason, I would strongly recommend this blender if you're just going to make shakes with it, but wouldn't recommend it for cutting other items.

One other negative is that it would also be nice if the cups had measurement markings on them to make it easier to measure the amount of liquid you use for each one.

Despite those drawbacks, a few things I love about this product is how easy clean-up is and how convenient is is to have the three smaller cups that you can drink right out of it.  Instead of having to take apart a larger blender to clean it, I can twist off the blade, and it's so shallow that it's easy to clean.  The three cups that this comes with also have twist-on white "comfort lips" that you can screw to the top of each cup, so that you can drink right out of them, without having scratchy plastic hit your lips. Once you're done drinking, you can toss these into the dishwasher and they clean up really easily.

Overall, I'm really pleased with this!  Since I picked it up just for my shakes, I'm beyond happy with how well it works for them. Since chopping other items isn't as consistent, though, I gave this product four stars.  Depending on your needs, it's a nice little gadget!

UPDATE ON 5/9/11:  I've been using this about 4-5 times a week for the past two months to make my protein shakes, and continue to love it!  It works really well, is easy to clean, and is durable.

I never had the luxury of working at a milk shake making operation and always wondered how a little stick can actually do any real mixing.  I bought it for my protein shakes and to make milk shakes for a chemo patient. I got very tired of cleaning a blender and all of its parts after each use, several times a day--(sometimes not even cleaning thoroughly enough)....and this "stick" operation seemed like a refreshing relief.  IT WAS! So it is already saving me the hassle of a blender and replacing all the O rings and trying to clean all of that, loud motors and so on.  I may just buy another one to do both shakes at one time, it is so simple.

I am with someone else on here-do not buy this and expect it to chop your frozen berries, ice cubes and whatever else and they rate it low when it just is not meant for that.  If you are making simple mixes, such as a protein shake or semi frozen drinks, such as a milk shake--this is great for low clean up.  Take a moment to read the insert on how to use it.

The White color BTW look really nice in my kitchen.  I was torn between stainless and white.

I purchased this to grind up my stevia/erythritol blend and it works great!! the power button is some times hard to depress, but I think that's just operator error. This is easy to clean, and worth the price that was paid!

I bought this about two weeks ago to use for morning and workout shakes. I've previously owned a Magic Bullet and a Ninja blender as well. If you're looking for something affordable, simple, and easy to clean, this thing is near perfect. This performs like the Magic Bullet, and I find it even easier to use and clean. It's also a fraction of the price.

The Good:
- Powerful! I consistently pack it full of fruit, peanut butter, ice, and more, and it keeps on humming along without any issues.
- Easy to clean: I haven't had an issue with food sticking in the bottom or needing too much scrubbing. Soaking it in hot water after each use makes it very easy to clean out
- The lids are usually great. I love creating a shake, snapping on a lid, and taking it with me to work in the morning. I've yet to have one spill.

The Bad:
- The lids can sometimes be difficult to snap on. I've almost spilled a couple of times trying to get it to completely snap. They seem to be getting easier as I use them though

Overall this is a bargain for the price. I recommend it even over pricier models such as the Magic Bullet.

I bought the Soybella soy milk maker about a month ago. I have found it super easy to use and the final product is wonderful (especially the first warm cup). I strain through cheesecloth and add a little vanilla or stevia if I want something sweet. As far as the noise of the grinding, it is GRINDING...not a shock that it might make some noise.

In short, worth every penny. We use a lot of soymilk, so each time I make a pitcher I set some more beans to soak in the fridge. Many uses for the okara or you can just throw it in the compost.

I would highly recommend this product. Very little work with great results.

I used this almost everyday.  It is very convenient for making my one serving shakes.  I had to get a replacement, as the 1st one I got just stopped working in mid blend when making a banana shake; because that happened I am very afraid of what I put it in the blender and how long I hold the button down.  It's  a bit nerve wreaking. as I am hoping that doesn't happen again. However, it works for the price.

I make my own power shakes every morning and this has been one of the better blenders i have owned thus far. I wanted something inexpensive, as i use it every day they tend to burn out quickly. That hasn't been the case with this one so far-. It is easy to clean and pull apart which is great for me when i am running a little late. The lid is the only thing that has a hard edge which can sometime catch food and is a little hard to clean.

Review is based on making shakes only.

My drink consists of the following:
A couple, broken up, hard frozen bananas, covered with coconut milk and some chia, flax, & hemp seeds.

I have been doing this in my blender which tends to require more liquid than what I would prefer, just to get it all to blend up smoothly. But that wasn't the reason I bought this. I bought it for the convenience of not having to clean up the much larger blender every time I wanted just ONE drink.

To my surprise, not only did I get an appliance that is MUCH easier to clean, but it makes MUCH BETTER shakes - thicker and smoother. With the blender, I was never able to get the shakes as thick as I prefer them. With this appliance, they are PERFECT. Even the seeds get ground up pretty good - something I believe is essential for getting the full nutritional value from them.

And it is so EASY to clean! I may never  need my blender again.

If you are wanting to make shakes, look no further. As a skeptic, this thing is far better than I expected - great ergonomics (fits perfectly in the hand), blends perfectly, and is super easy to clean. Hopefully, it can stand the test of time. Meanwhile, I'm going to make a shake.

I got this for my after workout protein shake, works really well, I like that it doesnt take alot of counter space, very well made. I LOVE how easily it can be washed. all you have to do is fill up the dirty bottle with water and turn the blender on. does the job, no scrubbing needed :D

I am in love with this little whisk. It is perfect!! I love being able to make frothy coffee drinks in my own home. We don't spend much money on Starbucks, etc. but when we do it is so expensive to get that special coffee drink at those places, now I can make them for myself, in my home! The whisk is very lightweight and doesn't take up much room at all. I love that it came with a little holder for it too. Not only does it work for coffee drinks but I have also used it to mix my protein shakes. There is nothing worse than a chunky protein shake. I no longer have to worry about that, this little tool is amazing!! I would highly recommend this product to everyone!!
