Brookstone 500mL Compact Portable Blender with Additional Lid for On-the-Go Convenience - Personal Blender Perfect for Shakes, Smoothies, Food Prep, and Frozen Blending, BPA-Free (Black)

This portable blender works great! It blends fruit, ice, and smoothies super fast, and I love that it comes with an extra lid for on-the-go. The size is perfect for daily shakes, and it’s very easy to clean. Lightweight, convenient, and powerful for its size. Highly recommend!

If I could, I would have given a ZERO star. Compared to its quality and features, it is really at a very attractive price (probably the lowest on Amazon) that everybody would love to have. Initially, I ordered two of them. And both of them have power issues, that is, while it appears to be getting charged (through its USB-C port) but neither the motor ever runs, nor the blade moves. I was so impressed with the quality of the rest of it, like the jar, its caps and handle, etc., initially, that I refused to believe it couldn't be corrected or replaced with the functioning one. I contacted the seller, who simply refunded my money. After that, assuming that I may have bad luck with these two, I ordered another one. Man! Again, I had bad luck, and the third one too, didn't work, and had the same battery/motor issue. I have already returned the previous two, and the third one also has to go back. Alas ! Note: Amazon must look into such issues and prevent such sellers from pushing bad products and harassing customers in this manner.

Good

Looks very good but the motor didn't work. No blending

I am so pleased with this portable blender. Frozen fruit and ice will blend well if you use the pulse setting, don’t overload the blender, and use more liquid than frozen items. So convenient for travel, easy to clean, and has a waterproof base. Great quality product that completely exceeded my expectations!

This portable blender is excellent for me As a teacher and toddler mom who is always on the go.

I thought that since this is Bose brand, it would have a decent motor, but a single ice cube or a few frozen berries seems to make it stall. You can get around this by tipping it sideways or upside down while blending, but still, it frequently gives error lights when in use and just stops working. It does well with non-frozen items, fwiw.

It gets the job done and that's it. You have to hold it on its side when you are blending tough stuff. It didn't come charged, the battery was completely dead. I charged it, blended one thing, and the next day the battery was back dead. It doesn't hold a charge. You can't use it while it's charging. It does look exactly as pictured.
