" ... Can store in refrigerator if you don't want it right away. ... "
" ... So happy I went with this one and not a bigger one as this fits perfect on my limited counter space. ... "
" ... I love that it comes with a drinking lid! ... "
" ... It even has a slot on the lid so you can use the blender container as your cup on the go, if you'd like. ... I will say that while it blends very well, it can't handle overly large frozen pieces (more than an inch or so in length, half an inch in width) of fruit, so be sure you cut your fruit up before blending it. ... "
" ... Washes quickly by hand or on top shelf in dishwasher. ... "
" ... Just the right size for personal drinks. ... "

" ... The liquid fell out of the bottom and flooded the motor. ... "
" ... Yes it was closed - I even tried holding my finger over it to press it down tighter ... "
" ... I didn't like the way the jar fit on the blender. ... "
" ... The blade won't go back into place. ... "
" ... It leaks all over the place. ... "
