I'm really not a smoothie drinker. My husband drinks them on occasion and he now has a nugget ice machine which makes good smoothie ice. However, I'm a bit leery after the recent BlendJet recall.

I was reading the reviews on Target and Amazon, the one big complaint was that the charge doesn't last long. One review said it lasts for 4 times and then it needs charging. Some say it doesn't let you know when the charge is low. Some said it stopped in the middle of blending and they had to recharge Some mentioned the ice gets stuck and you have to shake it. On Target, 39% would recommend. On Amazon, 70% gave it 5 stars. I just found the reviews intetsting.

On Target and Amazon the price was $59.99 . They had 6 colors to choose.

Thats like not wanting to buy a car because another auto maker's car got recalled.

why do you need a portable blender?

@jackthebear

I'm not sure but suppose it's for convenience?

My protein drink I blend in a blender, then pour it into my drink shaker cup.

So this TSV would allow one to not have to pour?

You just blend and take and drink all in one step?

Seems like a good price and a good concept, except I need a lot of power for my smoothies and just don't think this has it. I'll stick with my Vitamix; I drink a frozen protein drink daily. If I were still working, I'd consider one for my office.

I've been thnking about getting a portable blender because I use Liquid IV packets. Still on the fence about this one.

I bought my Blendjet in 2019 from the Q. I used for awhile and took to work but been awhile since I used. Sort of like every gadget I use for awhile then done. I stopped buying gadgets for me.

Don't Smoothies have a lot of sugar?

Re: Ninja TSV - January 3, 2023

scrapperlisa — Wed, 03 Jan 2024 13:04:26 GMT

@jackthebear I was thinking the same thing, why do I need a portable blender?

@Group 5 minus 1 Not all smoothies are sugary. It depends on what you put in it or if your shake mix has sugar in it. I use stevia in mine.

I will stick with my Vitamix. I can't take listening to the Ninja rep who can't pronounce the letter T. "Just press the buh-on to make it go." The funny part was at midnight when she loaded up a blender, pressed the button, and nothing happened and she coudn't get that one to work and they had to cut away.

@jackthebear To answer your question, we use the Blendjet to take to the beach. My husband is a type 1 diabetic. He surfs a lot, 3 hours at a time. As soon as he gets out of the water he needs to eat/drink something. He likes to drink a protein type drink to keep is blood sugar from dropping. Of course the grandkids then want a smoothie of some sort also.

There are many times we have used it. When going to a potluck and we need to whip something it is so easy. I have yet to find an outlet at a park or the beach.

Also, when I worked it was great to have in my office. There were limited outlets and the one's I did have were used for the computer, printer, adding machine, etc.

@scrapperlisa Fruit also has a lot of sugar in it.

Re: Ninja TSV - January 3, 2023

JeanLouiseFinch — Wed, 03 Jan 2024 15:35:58 GMT

We don't drink smoothies - too much sugar and we get plenty of protein other ways. The only reason I'd buy this would be if I could use it when we travel, for blending hot coffee. I have a rechargeable frother, but it can be messy. I haven't heard anything about using the blender for hot liquids so I doubt it's ok.

The Ninja bullet is good enough for me and small enough to take to work.

@LizzieInSRQ A lot of cars have had airbag issues probably because they all source their airbags from the same place. So, I might put off buying a new car until I felt that issue had been taken care of at the source, especially if I'm not in real need of a new car. I don't have a real need for a portable smoothie maker which I did mention above.

Pass. Bought the Blend Jet when they raved about it. Charger quit after a month. Not much poer & the ice crusher was a bust. Not buying any brand again.

My old KA blender works fine if I want a smoothie. Have never needed anything more powerful or portable. So it's a no for me.

I'm glad I didn't hear the rep's non-pronounciation of "button"...
