Kitchen Aid Cookware: Tribest Personal Blender PB-100 Blender Review

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, itleaves 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 motor. Also place ice, hard stuff toward the top, close to the blades, and protein powder right at the top, the first thing to touch the blades.These tidbits are not in the instructions but are necessary to avoid excessive shaking and scraping protein powder off the side of the cup later.

The instructions also say not to run the unit for more than 60 seconds at a time with 45 seconds in between.This is probably because there is only a 200 watt motor in the thing.The problem is that 60 seconds is not enough time to blend most smoothies that have ice.

Don't get me wrong, I have used this blender everyday for ten weeks and it is still much better than a larger blender, easier to clean, less noisy, and smaller.

Oh, and the biggest benefit.Since the container is small, 16 oz there is not a lot of air that gets incorporated into the drink.In a normal sized blender the contents expand when making one drink and all that air can make you feel bloated. With this blender there is less air that can be whipped up into your single serving smoothie.
