Customer Ratings & Reviews

It is a 22 oz size and easy to carry without the motor. Has a cover over the charge port to protect from any water. I had to charge it for 3 hours before my first smoothie! It does crush ice. Powerful little motor. Always start with water. Three speeds, make sure you push the power button after use for safety. Blade stays with the container. Container and cover dishwasher safe, not for the rechargeable motor. Battery lasts for several days. Charger is special 13.3 v. Output 110 to 240 input. HAVE FUN MAKING YOUR OWN HEALTHY SMOOTHIE!

I had just the ninja blast but this the max is great. I can fit more things for my smoothie and the battery charge lasts longer .

Don't waste your money on this, it doesn't work, 27 days after use it just broke down, turns all 3 lights on red. The $20 ones sold on Amazon last longer.

The 22-ounce portable Ninja-Blast Blender is a nice little device but it has it’s shortcomings. The first one is the size which 22oz is okay for one person however i think they should offer one that is 36oz big enough for two people. I really like the Ninja Blast unfortunately for me it overheats when I make shakes with it using ice cream straight out of the fridge. When that happens three orange lights come on and you have to wait 60 minutes. I love that I can take it with me though and that it is battery-powered. This little blender is very powerful and while I tried it on Smoothie it seemed to have a feature that would automatically pause it to let things settle for a second and restart like pulse mode on a regular blender. The Ninja Blast will take some getting used to in order to see what works and what doesn’t but that does not bother me. I will adjust my ingredients appropriately in order to get the best use out of it just because I like it so much. I may let my ice cream sit a minute before blending it with milk. I do think it will work perfectly fine for most use cases. Ice cream scoops always seem to sit on top and in most blenders requiring some spoon assistance. I think I have become somewhat spoiled by my full-sized 64oz Ninja Blender that churns through whatever I throw at it. This product is definitely well made like all Ninja products I have used and I can’t wait to take it with me on the road to create some delicious treats. It is very simple to use with a center power button then your Blend, Crush and Smoothie modes. The Ninja Blast feels substantial and high quality and I can not wait to try many different recipes with it. Now I can make shakes and smoothies anywhere and that’s awesome. I would definitely recommend it, but I don’t expect it to keep up with your full-sized plug in Ninja Blender.

The Ninja Blast Max is a nice little portable blender that saves space and time making a single smoothie. This 22oz blender is great to use on a time crunch and the blender doubles as a cup so there’s less to wash all said and done. You can basically blend and go! It’s got more pros than cons for sure. We make smoothies at home with milk, frozen berries, bananas, protein powder, and peanut butter. There are instructions I followed for the order of the ingredients in the cup and I found that the Blast Max did a good job of blending everything smoothly. The 3 buttons are easy to use. The “Smoothie” and “Crush” modes do a good job of automatically pulsing in certain patterns for the best blend. The “Blend” mode is a steady 30-second blend which is also used for the quick clean. The one thing I didn’t like about this blender cup is the placement of the lid. It does “lock” in an upright position, but it’s a little awkward to have it right in my face when I drink from the cup. The cleanup on the Ninja Blast Max is better than cleaning a traditional blender. It never really felt worth it to bust out the big blender and make multiple dishes to clean for a single smoothie. I like that you can do a quick clean on the Blast Max with some warm water and dish soap. The cup and lid are supposedly dishwasher safe, but the instructions say not to use the heat dry setting and I don’t want to turn off heat dry for my whole load. I’d rather not risk ruining my new blender so I’m just washing it by hand for now. The Ninja Blast Max portable blender is great for its compact design, easy cleanup, and portability. Overall it does meet the expectations of quickness and portability but I’d like a different design for the lid and handle.

The Ninja Blast Max 22oz Portable Blender is my new favorite appliance for use at home and on the road. We have been splitting our time recently at our home and on the road traveling in a camper van. So when looking for new appliances I like items that are small and can run cordlessly. The Blast Max fits those needs and exceeds them. I have a full-sized blender and tend to talk myself out of making a smoothie or other blended drink as it seems like a lot of effort for a single drink. That has all changed with the Blast Max as it’s a perfect size for making a single smoothie and taking it on the road as well with the sealed drink vessel. In the Box: - 11.1V rechargeable motor base - 22oz. Twist & Go vessel with built-in CrushBlade™ - Easy-Open Sip Lid with Carrying handle - Charging Cable - 5-recipe Inspiration Guide - User Manual Initial Impressions: This is a very well-built and compact blender system that fits easily into a cabinet or drawer for storage. The power and control buttons are easy to read and centrally located on the front of the blender base. There is a rubber foot on the base that keeps the unit in place during use and storage. The vessel acts as the mixing container and is easily screwed off the base and acts as a sealed travel mug for any type of smoothie or blended drink. The twist top seals nicely and the pop-top opens with a click of a button on the top of the lid. There is also a heavy-duty rubber carrying handle which is nice on the go. The gradient gray color of the base also matches well with other appliances in our kitchen. Set Up & Operation: The Blast Max is packaged well and there isn’t much set up required. Ninja recommends charging the unit to 100% before the first use. There is a printed user’s manual in the box and also a QR code to scan and get the manuals electronically. The blender did need a bit of charging when received, so I took that time to read through the instructions. There are 3 modes to operate the blender: Blend, Crush and Smoothie. Blend is a manual approach that runs the blender constantly for 30 seconds. Crush and Smoothie are automatic modes that blend, pulse and pause to achieve the best results. The power and mixing option buttons also work to provide the charge level, whether there is a jam, etc. All the indicator lights are outlined in the manual. The manual also points out the best way to stack ingredients into the blender for optimum blending. I made a few different protein smoothies and a couple of mocktails to try the different blending options and can say that the Blast Max handled everyone with ease. Even a peanut butter banana smoothie, which tends to clog up my other blender, blended fully as expected. Pros: - Well-built as expected by the Ninja brand - Portable size and convenience for on-the-go use - Ability to run it cordlessly is super convenient - Travel vessel with sealed top and carry handle is a game changer for me - Battery life was exceptional - Easy to operate and clean Cons: - Charging cable is specific to the blender, so another cord to carry around - Location of the flip top when drinking is kind of awkward Overall, the Ninja Max Blast 22oz Portable Blender is a great addition to any kitchen or for people living on the road. Its portable size and battery operation are perfect in any environment. I would certainly recommend this blender to anyone looking for a single use blender that is easy to use and clean.

I used to make smoothies and juices on a regular basis but not nearly as much as I do now with this portable blender. It is small enough to fit in the sleeve of my backpack or in the cup holder of my car so I take this to work with me everyday and have my morning protein shake already blended. I have not had to bring the base but the base is also very portable and provides enough power to cut through frozen fruits without leaving chunks behind. The 22 ounces that it holds is also enough to fuel me through the morning and sometimes through the evening. I have not traveled with this yet but I plan on taking it on my next trip and throwing it in my luggage so I can make my smoothies on the go. There are only 3 settings which are crush, blend, and smoothie. I found that to be sufficient with such a small form factor. This blender is mainly marketed towards its portability and it is exactly that: Portable. You just twist it off the base, grab onto the carry handle, and drink straight from the cup. The cup feels like hard plastic so I would imagine minimal damage if accidentally dropped from low height so that offers peace of mind while carrying around everywhere.

I am real excited about this Ninja Blast Max blender. I drink a lot of protein shakes and Huel meal replacement shakes daily. This blender is so small and compact, yet so powerfull. I usually toss in ice for my meal shakes and it tears it up with zero problems. I make a few shakes a day and the battery has held strong for 5 days now. The locking lid also holds open when folded all the way back, nothing worse then getting smacked in the face by shaker bottle lids when in mid drink. The handle is convenient for carrying but I don't use it for drinking. Would actually be cool if it was easily removeable. The motor is noisy but not obnoxious. It's just powerful and wants you to know it. The one touch button options are nice, just pick your type of drink and let it do it's thing. Id love to see additional bottles for sale as well as aluminum options. Until then I'll buy a second one so it's easier for a multi-user setting. Currently if my wife also wants a drink, I pour mine into a shaker bottle, then rinse it out for her to use it. With multiple bottles that wouldn't be an issue.

This portable blender is well-designed and convenient for travel and for quick personal-sized blending; however, its chopping ability is unsurprisingly not as robust as larger blenders. The unit is lightweight (2.2 pounds), and the bottle part fastens/unfastens securely and easily from the base. The lid has a spout that is uncovered by a button release, as well as a built-in silicone handle. There are 3 different blend modes -- Blend (for protein shakes), Smoothie (for chopping fresh or frozen fruit), and Crush (for ice cubes to make frozen drinks). Switching between modes and overall operation is intuitive. In practice, it works pretty well, but it doesn’t chop fruit as well as our bigger Ninja Professional (unsurprisingly). This is a minor compromise if you want the convenience of a single-serve portable blender. Since it uses a rechargeable battery, it’s ideal for travel or camping (but this also raises the question of what to do when the battery inevitably degrades). Charging is via a 13.3V barrel-type charger -- it would’ve been nice if they used USB-C instead. Cleaning is easy -- the bottle is dishwasher safe (but be careful if you plan to wash it manually, since the blades are integrated into the bottom of the bottle). Overall, this is a decent portable blender that’s best for certain use-case scenarios, not as your main blender.

The Ninja - Blast™ Max 22oz Portable Blender in cool gray is really a nifty machine that is well appointed for your blending pleasure. Like most of you, I have some other earlier iteration of a small individual serve-type blender to make my single serve smoothies, dressings, etc. However, in order to get the power to chop the ice and other tough food-stuff items, you really needed the power of electricity versus this battery-operated one. Thankfully in this case, the blast max is very powerful and truly portable. This blender states that it has the performance of a corded blender, but cord free and I whole heartedly agree in this case. I was very pleasantly surprised. So, the box contains the following: the twist and go vessel, the base motor, a plug-in the wall charging cord, and some user guides. First thing out of the box the user needs to charge before using. Simple enough. Then there are 3 blend modes: blend, crush, and smoothie. What you will instantly notice and be pleased about is that this motor can easily crush the ice without fail and once you push the button on one of the 3 modes it takes over automatically, you do not need to keep your finger on the button, it works through its time to accomplish the blending task. In fact, one of the user inserts instructs you on how to layer the vessel's contents-put your liquid at the bottom, then add your fruit, next add your greens, dry stuff next like nuts, seeds, protein powder, etc., and finally finish with ice or other frozen matter. Voila, press the button and let it do its job. The vessel is BPA free, 2, the top on the vessel is twist and go with a rubber handle that can be attached with a carbineer to attach to a belt to take on a walk, and there is also a push type button on the top that you can either drink or pour from and it is also wide enough to insert a thick straw, too. It is easy to use with the programs that flash different lights and colors to alert the user to what is happening during use. In fact, you can have this machine do a self-clean by filling with water and then put in some dish soap and let it go. Of course, you can manually clean it, too. Overall, I am very happy with this blender

I had no idea how much I'd enjoy using a personal blended. I've used a full size blender at home, of course, but I had no idea how much I'd enjoy a portable model. It's great! Versatile. Fun. And money saving. I love it. Getting it out of the box was pretty easy and setup was even easier. I charged the base up, washed the components in the sink, and then went to the fridge to see what I had to make my first smoothy. As it turned out, I didn't have much, but kale and carrots are pretty good in my book and I was just trying it out. I added water to the minimum water marker, then kale and carrots. The carrots pureed nicely, the kale less so, but the drink as a whole was good and I was intrigued. The next day I went to the market and I got a frozen berry package, Greek yogurt, and some bananas. It was great! Then my coworker, who swears by her personal blender, offered me some powdered vegetable protein and I haven't looked back. I've experimented with fruits, vegetables, protein powders and more. I have added exercise to my days, and I've been losing weight (which I needed to do), feeling sharper, and feeling more energetic. I rated the blender 5 stars because I love it, but there are some weaknesses, I think. The main one is how long it takes to charge. It takes a while. I also really wish that it came with an insulated bag to hold the whole thing. Ninja offers online recipes through their website, but they're pretty boring and I found more interesting recipes searching the web. Even with the weaknesses, I love the blender! I use it daily. I had no idea how much I needed one. I recommend it to family and friends.

My girlfriend has been wanting to do more smoothies as a healthier snack, but our current blender is a giant beast that works for it but is a bit more involved in cleaning and requires making more than one smoothie at a time. Great for parties, but not so much for a right sized healthy snack. That’s why I picked up the Ninja Blast Max 22oz Portable Blender, not only is it single serving but it is also portable. Pros: - Completely Wireless. - Easy to clean after use. - Simple to use. Cons: - Charging from empty takes a few hours. - Might need a 2nd Vessel so we both can have one. Setup: The setup was very easy, just take the blender out of the box and make sure to take the charger out of the blending vessel before turning it on. You will need to charge the base fully first before use, per the instructions provided. This did take a few hours to fully charge, but once the green light stops flashing it is good to go. I did a quick clean before use, just fill a 3rd of the way with water and a drop of dish soap then turn on. A quick rinse after and it was ready to go. Ease of Use: There are only 3 settings: Blend, Smoothie, and Crush. Each has its own preprogramed settings for how it blends, which is great as you can just select as setting and let it go until you get the desired outcome. It’s extremely easy and straightforward, just turn on the device then select what you want to do, and it goes to it. Additionally, the motor will not engage if the blending vessel is not attached so even in travel if the base gets turned on the motor will not engage unless you have the vessel attached. Including with the blender is a 5-step fill order: 1. Liquids, 2. Fresh Fruits, 3. Leafy Greens, 4. Dry or Sticky then 5. Frozen. Simply follow this order, even if you exclude one of the ingredient types then proceed to the next and you will get the perfect results. The lines on the side of the blender container help provide the right amount of liquid and maximum amount of ingredients to add. This is the perfect blender to take along to work or a party to have a freshly blended drink without any hassle or mess. The twist on lid keeps the contents of the vessel sealed and leak proof, while the flip top cap stays on unless you press the button to release it, which prevents accidental spills while on the go. Paired with the carry loop, just makes this blender ready to go. Performance: So far, we’ve tried protein shakes, tons of fruit smoothies, and some blended ice coffee drinks. All of them have been amazing, to the point that I’ve had to ask why I haven’t done this before with the bigger blender. Usually, I’ll let the blender run its program which usually takes 30-45 seconds, enough to get everything smooth but not liquified. For the crush mode, it depends on how much ice and the size of the ice chunks, I preferred using smaller chunks of ice over cubes as it took less time. In all cases, the one thing that was most impressive was that this blender was completely wireless and yet we’ve already gotten at least 10 drinks out of it on one charge. It would be an understatement to say this thing crushed it, but there were no issues with frozen fruit or ice cubes. Each drink turned out well, the first few were a little chunky as we played with the settings but overall, still plenty drinkable. I will probably want to get a second blender vessel in the future so we can both make a drink at the same time, without the need to empty out the vessel after the first one. This won’t be a problem for those with only one person in the house but if you have multiple bodies in the house, you might find you need another smoothie or two. Conclusion: If you mainly want a blender to make single serve drinks like smoothies and protein shakes, while also being easy to use and clean, then the Ninja Blast Max is a great option for you. The fact that it is also completely wireless and ready to go anywhere, makes it the perfect travel blender for anyone who enjoys making a blended drink on the go. I’ve quite easily used this daily already, mainly because we are in the smoothie kick for now but can see myself using this multiple times per week in the future just due to how easy it is to use. I will be recommending this to anyone who is looking for a blender to make drinks.

The Ninja - Blast™ Max 22oz Portable Blender is a remarkable addition to any health enthusiast's toolkit. With a sleek and sturdy design, it not only looks good on your kitchen counter but also performs exceptionally well. Pros: First and foremost, the build quality of the Ninja Blast Max stands out. This blender feels solid and durable, reassuring users that it can handle daily use without any concerns about wear and tear. The thoughtful design makes it user-friendly, ensuring that it can be operated with ease, even for those not particularly skilled in the kitchen. One of the blender’s most impressive features is its power. Despite its compact size, the Ninja Blast Max is surprisingly powerful, capable of crushing ice and blending even the toughest ingredients into smooth, creamy mixtures. Whether you’re whipping up a healthy smoothie, a delicious margarita, or a post-workout protein shake, this blender delivers consistent results every time. Another significant advantage is its portability. Designed for the on-the-go lifestyle, the 22oz capacity is perfect for individual servings, making it an excellent companion for gym sessions, office breaks, or outdoor adventures. Plus, it’s water-resistant, tackling any spills without fuss. Clean-up is a breeze, which is a huge plus for busy individuals. The components are easy to detach and can be quickly rinsed or placed in the dishwasher. Overall, the Ninja Blast Max truly emphasizes convenience and ease of use, allowing you to focus more on enjoying your creations rather than worrying about the mess. Cons: However, no product is without its drawbacks. The Ninja Blast Max is a bit on the heavy side, which may be an issue for some users looking for ultra-portable options. Additionally, while the rubber handle provides a comfortable grip, it does raise concerns about durability — a little extra caution is warranted during use to ensure it doesn’t snap. Another point to consider is the price. While it may be a bit high compared to other portable blenders on the market, the quality and performance of the Ninja Blast Max justify the expense. Investing in this blender means choosing reliability and power, which can ultimately save you money on lower-quality alternatives that may require replacement sooner. Conclusion: In conclusion, I would highly recommend the Ninja - Blast™ Max 22oz Portable Blender to anyone who enjoys healthy smoothies or refreshing drinks. Its combination of sturdiness, excellent design, and surprising power makes it a standout choice for those seeking convenience without sacrificing performance. Whether you’re at home or on-the-go, this blender is sure to become a favorite kitchen companion.

Ninja has another useful product with the Blas Max portable blender. It's a battery powered blender that holds up to 22oz of smoothies, mixed drinks, etc. It's simple to use. Charge the battery with the included charge cable, add ingredients, blend. It's small but powerful. I have been blending smoothies. I just power it on, select smoothie, and it handles the amount of blending it needs to do. The container has clear markings on it which makes it clear the min and max content levels. The container also has a screw on top. The top makes a good seal. It also has a locking spout cover that locks in place when pressed down. To release it, I just push in on the release and the spout cover flips up. Closing it, I just press it down and it locks in. It also has a handle that makes it easy to carry around. The canister also fits in my truck's cup holder which is a big plus. It's constructed well. The base has some weight to it which does help some with it not turning over during blending, but I have to still hold it or else it will move around. The width of the base is the same as the container. The base would need to be wider to help reduce the movement of it during blending, but I didn't find it a problem putting my hand on the top of the lid to hold it in place so the base didn't move around on the counter top during blending. The container is made of thick plastic. It's thick enough that it survived me dropping it on my hardwood floor. No cracks or any problems from that. The container isn't heavy so the weight from carrying it around will be mostly the weight of the contents of the container. The base of the container allows it to sit properly on my countertop and my desk. I really like that I can get many smoothies blended out of a single charge of the base. I like even more that the motor is really powerful. I was surprised as I was expecting it to have a little trouble with ice, but it doesn't have any issues blending drinks that have ice as part of the ingredients. It's so convenient to quickly add ingredients, power on the base, and just select Smoothie, remove the container and walk into my office and set it down on my desk in the mornings. It's also been good to quickly use for a mid-afternoon treat. With my large blender, I have to pour the content into a cup, but with the Blast Max, I just remove the container after blending and walk away with it and drink the content directly from the container. I hope Ninja will make it easy to get one or more additional containers. If so, I'll probably get an additional one in the future. I would recommend considering the Ninja Blast Max if you are wanting something to blend your drinks and just go.

Smoothies, Protein Shakes, and Crushed drinks are a great way to consume fruits, veggies, protein powder, and other vitamins in an easy way to make it a meal. However, sometimes taking out a big bulky blender just to make one glass seems like a little inconvenient. The Ninja Blast Portable blender helps remedy that and has been a lot of fun to use! PROS: - Opening this up, the design is perfect. It’s really not very big at all and I am surprised how much power they can fit into this small of a base. I also really liked the blending container as it works as the cup itself since it comes with a handle to carry and a lip with a sipping spout. - Setting up only requires one thing: charge it until the light is solid green aka it’s fully charged! It does not take too long but I liked how simple it was to get ready and use. - Use is also very simply. You turn it on with the power and press one of the 3 options. Blend is best for protein shakes without frozen stuff in it, smoothie is of course best for frozen fruit smoothies, and crushed is a bit of that mix speciality drink. All very easy to use and straight forward! - I was very impressed with the mix of power but also quiet this was! I loaded my smoothie up and it took care of it no problem, I had to jiggle the blender around a bit to get the frozen stuff to blend better but thats completely normal and something I dealt with when I used a giant plug in blender. - I have used this for shakes and smoothies and it seriously works great! Very nice and smooth drinks, super easy and portable, and of course the cup you drink out of is very convenient. CONS: - The container does a max of 22 oz but it’s really closer to 16-18 when you are doing frozen smoothies which is a nice amount, but it would have been nice to be a little bigger. Although I understand the trade off for portability. - I wish the charger was USB-C but instead it’s a proprietary charger. It would have been a lot nice to use the same charger as all my other portable tech. BOTTOM LINE: - For people trying to be healthier and incorporate more blended drinks in your life, this is an excellent product for you. It’s super portable and easy to use, very convenient, subtly powerful, and actually a lot of fun to use since it’s simple and easy to clean. This has become a go to everyday use for me and I think people are going to love its compact size and make it a part of their days too!

The Ninja Blast is one of the most unique blenders I’ve ever had the chance to use! Its size is perfect for making personal smoothies, shakes, or juices, and the blender is portable! Yes, portable! The blender base is battery powered, which means you can theoretically blend things anywhere you go! In terms of blending capabilities, the blender can blend anything you give it with ease; it is a very standard blender in that regard! It has 3 blend modes to help you get the perfect blend of your liking which is nice, and it is also very easy to clean, by simply adding soap and water, blending, and rinsing. I love the travel “blender-bottle” form factor as well, as it’s the perfect size to hold a smoothie, and is reliable for travel with a built-in “sip lid”! Something to note with this blender is that I can’t personally think of many real use cases where I would need to blend something while out and about (maybe for camping/road trips it would be useful?). I also can’t say I would feel comfortable using the blender “on the go”; I would say that likely 100% of the time I would prefer to pre-blend my smoothies at home, then take the travel blender bottle to go. I think this blender is great for use at home though, and it is nice to not have to worry about cords and cables while using (although, something you may want to be wary of is that if you don’t hold the blender down while in use, it can start to spin and move on its own, which may be dangerous if unattended!).

Blender Review: I’ve been making smoothies for a long time. I typically use a popular plug-in blender designed for smoothies. I like this blender but it’s certainly not portable. This Ninja blender caught my attention with its size and battery power. Typically, I make my smoothies at home, pour them into a container and drink them at work. I’ve read that I should be drinking the smoothie right after blending for best nutritional value. With this blender, I can add ingredients and blend at work so I get the best nutrition in my drink. Thinks I like about the Ninja Blast: (1) It is portable. It’s not the smallest blender but it’s easy enough to tote to work and back. (2) The battery charges quickly. In just a few hours it was fully charged. I can plug it in when I get home from work and its full before I go to bed. Even better, the battery will last all week for me with one blend per day. After my first blend, I plugged it in to recharge and the charge indicator said it was still full and didn't need to be recharged. (3) Click lock is great. Connecting the cup to the base is as simple as putting them together and twisting until you hear a noticeable click. Turning the cup is very easy as there is very little resistance. I’ve had other blenders that are much more difficult to lock together. (4) Cleanup is easy. Rinse the cup, add a drop of dish soap and fill halfway with water. Put on the top, connect the cup to the base and run a blend cycle. Take it apart and rinse again and it’s clean. (5) It blends well most of the time. I did have an issue when adding my protein powder. This protein powder thickens the smoothie considerably and can prevent ingredients from being fully blended (ie – chunky drink). I have to add that ingredient after I do an initial blend. Things that could be improved: (A) The letters on the buttons are hard to read with my older eyes. There could certainly be more contrast between the grey letters and the grey buttons. White letters would be great. (B) It’s not super loud, but it’s not quiet either. People in the office know when I’m blending. (C) The base is a little heavy making it a little less portable than it could be, but I guess that is the price you pay for its excellent battery life. (D) It would be nice if there was an actual battery meter that tells me how full the battery is. The power button will display green if the battery is charged or red if it’s low. There are 3 LEDs around the power button that could be used to indicate battery level when the unit is turned on. (E) It would be nice if it could be charged using a USB C cable. Instead, it has an old-fashioned wall charger with a small tube-like connector. I tend to use a lot of ingredients in my smoothies, so I need to adjust for this size container. So far, I made one smoothie that blended great and another that was quite chucky. I believe the chunky smoothie was caused by a combination of over filling the cup (see the photos I've added) and adding a protein powder that quickly thickens the drink making it difficult to blend. As with any appliance, there is a learning curve. Once I figure it out, I know it will make great drinks. All in all, I really do like this blender. It will likely become my “go to”. I don’t really have any dislikes. It’s more like ideas for improvement. Looking forward to using it more.

Love that it crushes ice and blender portion is removable. A compact yet powerful machine

I love the larger cup and how easy it is to clean. It's a powerful portable blender and I feel like I've tried them all. It has three modes: blend, crush and smoothie. I mostly use the smoothie option. I make protein shakes that can get pretty thick. I've blended fresh fruit/vegetables, frozen fruit, ice, protein powder, and oatmilk with ease. After a few spins, it's perfect.
