Review on Blendtec GO (30 oz) Bottle | Reusable ๐Ÿน Blender Cup with Travel Lid | BPA-Free Clear Jar by Brando Carpenter

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Almost gave this one a star - follow the instructions!

I purchased this product directly from Blendtec for my wife. She makes smoothies every day so I figured it would be easier to use a smaller container. (less cleaning, takeaway cup, etc.) Most reviews were positive, but some reviewers said it didn't mix well. Her first attempt at making a cocktail ended in complete failure. It took FOUR mixes with a cocktail in between to get a decent smoothie. The one star ratings were correct, the thing sucked and had nothing to do with the original product. I was about to give it a star when I remembered the Blendtec video to download. Needing a tutorial on how to load the mixer is a bit silly, but we followed their instructions anyway. (video tutorial is included in the relevant Revain images for this product) It worked great! They load the frozen items first, then the other stuff (the banana in their case), and finally the "sticky stuff" on top. (Greek Yogurt) She's been using it for a few weeks now and is VERY happy with the Blendtec Go. Yes, it's not as good as the original container that doesn't require a specific loading order, but if you follow their instructions, it's actually a good product.

Pros
  • Blendtec products are manufactured to the highest professional standards. No tamper/plunger required. The professional blender jar is compatible with all Blendtec blenders (not compatible with Blendtec mix n' Blend models).
Cons
  • makes me angry
