I have had it for 3 weeks and I love it.  I make my smoothies with fruit and vegetables, just cut them in smaller pieces and put a few frozen pieces of fruit to thicken instead of ice cubes,  I also use almond milk.  I would highly recommend it, but make sure you follow the directions and don't over fill it.

I love the philosophy behind the smoothies and I've enjoyed playing around with the recipes. I've been substituting a smoothie for either breakfast or lunch and I lost 5 lbs. in two weeks. I actually feel better and eat less.

I recently purchased a KitchenAid KSB560OB 5-Speed Blender with Polycarbonate Jar. It is the love of my life just now. I am so very happy with it.

It is strong and does all I need it to do, ranging from simple fruits to nuts and small carrots.

I need to eat blended food for a long time as I have had some major dental work done, and can't chew solids. I use my blender at least once a day.

It it is very easy to clean, having no potentially bacteria catching rubber bands, easy to use, and looks great in my kitchen.

I love this blender. I learned in the beginning that if you hold the pulse down longer than necessary, you will smell a faint odor from the motor. I realized that I only need to give it 4 very quick pulses to get a perfectly blended drink. I've been using it lately to make a ginger, honey and lemon drink. I use the powdered ginger and it blends everything wonderfully.  I use it also to make Matcha tea (the powdered version of the tea) mixed with soy milk and honey. It creates a nice frothy concoction. What I like about the stainless steel cup is that it keeps everything cold while blending. I have yet to use frozen fruit in it because I've got a normal sized blender for drinks like that. I've been using this for a couple of months now and I'm very pleased with it.

Since the day I got this blender, I've been using it daily and I LOVE IT SO MUCH. Of course with a $20 personal-size blender, it isn't going to be the strongest and best, but it is well worth the price. My smoothies usually consist of 2 part frozen fruit to 1 part fresh fruit to 2 part liquid and it turns out just fine. Sometimes I have to take a spoon and mix it around a bit, but that is usually only when I am going for the thick nice-cream consistency. I hand-wash it in the sink since I use it so often and it cleans very well, no residue or odor. I haven't tried using greens in the smoothies.
I can't really find any bad things about this blender. 100% recommend.

I was leery about buying the Hamilton Beach Personal blender after reading the reviews.  I figured with such a low price, if I didn't like it, I'd just throw it out, no great loss.  It is a great product. I make a smoothie every morning.  I was using a full side blender and it was so much harder... had to get the smoothie out of the big blender, more to clean up.  Now I use the the Hamilton Beach blender and I stick a straw ,in and no mess.  I first put in 4 frozen strawberries, (what ever size they are), then about 1 cup or so of plain Greek yogurt and add lowfat milk, not sure how much but probably about 1/3 cup.  I think the reason so many people claim it smells, burns out, etc, is they are using it wrong.  Below the on switch it says PULSE... you have to pulse in short bursts.  You can tell when the frozen berries are all incorporated.  When I used fresh mango instead of frozen strawberries it was quicker, but the frozen berries give it a great "milk shake" texture that I like.  No oil or burning smell. quick, ease, and I love it.  I've now had for over a month and have used it over 30 times and have had no problems.

I was so thrilled to purchase this; but even more thrilled when it's still in great shape even after I have used it 2-3 times a week, most weeks. I've had it 3 months now. Thank you so much!

I use this with iced mango, straberry, banana. I packed it with those thing and water about 1/3 of the whole volume. and blend.... 30 seconds later, perfect smoothy always comes out. Awesome...

But too much packing is not good for the blender... sometimes the smoothy a little bit comes out of the bottom of the jar. so please be careful. Except that,,, I'am fully satisfied with this product. and I recommend all of my friend who like a beverage like this kind of smoothy thing.

BEST BLENDER !! YOU GONNA LOVE IT !

It is so easy to use and to clean.  I love putting fruits into it like chopped limes and strawberries.  I haven't tried any vegetables yet.  I am a fruit lover.

It was exactly as advertised! I opened  it up the next morning and made my first smoothie !! It saved me money & time . The recipe I used provided me with protein & energy, which stopped me from eating junk during the day .
 I am not feeling hungry! The 3 individual cups with sip lids makes  it super easy for my family.
I love it.

I use my juicer almost every day. I can make amazing juices with it. I bought also a Vitaminex to make smoothies since berries doesn't have a lot of juice, but this machine is still my favorite!

We have only had it a couple weeks and it works fine. The blades are slightly smaller than my original which concerned me but it makes perfect smoothies so far..

I make smoothies in my Nutri Ninja almost every day and I love it!  The only thing that could make it better is if it were not so loud.  I hold my hands over my ears while it is running.  Good thing I can just push a button and let it run.

It's a great blender for smoothies.  No complaints after 3 months of use.

We've only had it for a few weeks, but it's working really well so far.  I love the take-along bottle and for the size, the blender does a good job.
