Don't ignore the fine print
This blender looks pretty nice, it is small, and it requires less cleaning than traditional blenders. It is also higher quality than other one cup blenders. That aside... the instructions say that you cannot put the cups into the dishwasher so you must wash by hand. The cups also have measurement marks on the side, but they are very hard to read. One cup was washed by mistake and the plastic became fuzzy.
The blender will chop full sized iced cubes, but not well, it leaves big chunks. If you crush the ice first with your fridge dispenser or with another machine, then this blender does a much better job. Tribest does sell an ice crusher attachment but not with the package I bought.
With thicker shakes content can get stuck up at the bottom of the cup. Do not shake the blender to move the stuck content down towards the blades while the machine is running, this will make the motor smell like burning rubber. Take the cup off, shake it, then put it back on the...
Don't believe anything bad about this product!
This is the best, most beloved item in my kitchen!!!
I only wish I had bought the grinder and all the different cups (which I am going to now add on).
I read some of the other reviews---and at first I was also disappointed with this blender. Now that I have learned how to use it, I LOVE IT!!!
DO NOT put Protein powder into it first, it will get stuck in the bottom of the cup which you invert onto the blades (When you invert it, the bottom becomes the top). If you put liquid in first and then the powder there's no problem. You have to learn how to use it. You will want to put the frozen fruit in last if you are making something really thick.
I read the reviews here before I bought mine and a woman said hers was junk but I went ahead and read the rest of the reviews and decided to buy it. If mine breaks in a year, it will have been well worth the price. I use it every day and sometimes three times a day. On a hot day when I want...
Just Not Durable
All of the 5-Star reviews are spot on regarding the convenience and effectiveness of the Tribest Blender. It is a great product except for the fact that it simply isn't nearly durable enough to warrant the investment. When my first unit broke in less than 3 months I was happy to assume that either I or one of my kids had done something wrong and immediately ordered another. Now that that unit has also broken in less than three months I'm convinced its just a poorly constructed product. In both instances the plastic disk on the bass unit that spins the blender simply broke. I remember enough of my high school physics to understand torque but these units were never challenged to do more than blend a half cup of frozen berries with juice and protein powder. And probably not more than a half dozen times a week.
I've become a huge fan of the single serve blender and replaced the last one with the competitive blender with hopes that I will get more than 3 months life out of...
