" ... The leaks are coming out the top that doesn't have a strong seal. ... "
" ... I had one if these for about 3 years and it broke. ... "
" ... This morning I just noticed it's very cracked on one side and beginning to on the other. ... "
" ... The lid doesn’t seal well enough. ... "
" ... Also, the sliding tab that covers the drinking hole is cheap plastic, not flush with lid, and also shoots out liquid uncontrollably. ... "
" ... The lid cover pops up and snaps into place for drinking, but seems flimsy. ... "
" ... About a week and a half later, before the replacement cup had even arrived, the second cup from the original purchase broke in exactly the same way. ... "
" ... It also created quite a mess both times, as the contents poured out of the bottom of the jar through the broken seal. ... "

" ... It's quieter & easier to clean than my full size blender and powerful enough to crush ice cubes in seconds. ... "

" ... Don't expect microscopically small particles or completely smooth smoothies, but it crushes ice, chops up fresh fruit & veggies just fine. ... "
" ... I love the fact that its portable and that its a blender, but this product seems to have issues breaking up large amounts of ice. ... "

" ... The blender doesn’t function unless one presses and holds the button. ... "
" ... The only thing I don't like is the lid does not twist on so it easily falls off. ... "
" ... I tried to hold down the flap that covers the hole where you drink but didn't help . ... "
" ... I put plastic wrap over the top between the lid and cup to keep it in and that was fine to begin with but it just became a hassle and added time in prep and money on plastic wrap. ... "
" ... I've had it about 4 months and it broke mid-blend, leaking all over the place. ... "
" ... Wish I had just sent it back in time for a refund instead of singing "Hope Springs Eternal" that the screw grip would loosen up over time ... "
" ... It doesn't hold much and leaks ridiculously easily so no dice. ... "
" ... The leaks are coming out the top that doesn't have a strong seal. ... "

" ... I'm a woman in my mid 50s with not particularly strong hands, so I don't think I caused it to crack. ... "
" ... I had one if these for about 3 years and it broke. ... "
" ... I am very strong and coordinated but still found that unless you have a vice-like hand grip in both hands it is extremely painful - if not impossible - to "lock" and/or "unlock" the container part of the device from the blender base so that the contents can be poured or consumed from the container. ... FYI, if you have any strength loss or arthritis in your wrists or any part of your upper body, the entire process is unbearably painful. ... Wish I had just sent it back in time for a refund instead of singing "Hope Springs Eternal" that the screw grip would loosen up over time ... "
" ... The only thing I don't like is the lid does not twist on so it easily falls off. ... "
" ... If you use one hand to secure the seal around the lid, and the other hand to hold down the mouth-opening-slider-cover thing, then use your toe to push the button, you may have some luck. ... "
