Promising review: 'I was without my blender for about 6 weeks — that is the proof I needed to realize how often I use mine! I typically dump in frozen smoothie packs and some almond milk or juice, put the cap on and bring it to work. When I hit that 10:30 slump — I churn it up and have a delicious smoothie! This is so easy to clean and lasts almost the full workweek on one charge. Could not be happier with this product!!!' — Lisa K.
