Review Text: Some good, some not so good. I really wanted to love this personal blender. There are some things I really like- It blends beautifully smooth drinks. I have made ice coffee "slushies" and breakfast smoothies. I like that you make and take in the same container- less to clean. However, there are some things that could be improved in the design- The lid flips down when you are drinking so if there is some drink on the underside, it ends up on your nose. A method to snap it open would be nice. The container itself is too narrow to get a sponge in to clean. Their directions say to put in water and baking soda or detergent and blend- I don't have time for that! I suppose it would come clean in the dishwasher but if you want to use it daily, that means you have to run the dishwasher every day. I also had a heck of a time figuring out how to get the unit off the base after blending. The container would start to unscrew from the blade assembly, meaning the whole drink would spill out. I would have to turn it the whole unit upside down, take the container off, and then figure out how to get the blade out later. It has taken a bit of use but I think I finally have figured it out (you need to push down slightly as you unscrew. The directions don't tell you that). I would also prefer a way to keep the blender going without having to hold the button constantly. I don't know about you, but I like to start the blender and then wipe the counter and do other things while it blends- not hold a button. I will keep it around for drinks on the go, but I hope they reconsider some of the design issues.
