Portable Juice Cup Blender for Smoothies Shakes Fruit Crush Baby Food Maker 43oz 1300ML USB Charging Cordless Food Grade Blades Electric Smoothie Blender for Small Ice Kitchen Outdoor

I got this portable blender for our RV where storage is at a premium, and we don’t have enough need for a regular blender to justify the space. Some of the features that caught my eye for our RV use case: - the 43oz size is plenty big enough for two smoothies or margaritas, perfect for us empty nesters - the whole unit is lightweight and compact, great for our limited storage - it’s USB rechargeable, so we can use it outside or when we are boon docking - it has a drinking lid with straw, so it doubles as a drinking bottle and saves on washing multiple containers As far as use goes - I did t read the directions before my first use, and ended up putting in too much ice - and it didn’t blend the ice well at all. The directions say 1:1 ratio of liquid to solids, and they mean it. My second attempt was much better- did the 1:1 ratio, screwed on the blender lid, hit the power button and turn upside down until it auto cuts off at 1 minute. This made a lovely smoothie, though a little more watery than I like. The battery lasted through both my smoothies, not sure how many more I could have made on the single charge. We wouldn’t normally need more than a few cycles at once, so seems perfect. Cleaning was a little bit of a hassle… my hand is too big to fit inside and there is a lip about 2” down that tended to trap my protein powder. I had to hunt for a scrubber with a handle to clean it well. Deducted a star for this design flaw. Overall, this is a great blender for our RV needs- looking forward to it being 5 o’clock somewhere!
