Review on Portable Kitchen Blender And Smoothie Maker For Shakes - Tribest PB-250XL-A With Removable Cups, White by Sarah Phillips

12/16/2017 It works really well and is easy to use. I bought the Oster My Blend at the same time, both do the job, but this is my favorite.For me, the primary factors for the Tribest are 1) a built in gasket (no separate gasket to take out and clean, not seal properly, and be out of place and get cut), and a 2) clear container with 3) fill marks.Detailed breakdown:Tribest:clear plastic so you can see what's happeningfill markings (albeit hard to read)no fussy rubber gasketminimalist drinking lid (but wish there was a version with a sealed cap)extra container in basic configurationslightly smaller standard container may be better for most users (was for me)Oster:larger volumesealable lidPrice ($10 less at time purchased). At this price level, it usually isn't a big differential.Neither advantage:Oster has a more "designed" look; Tribedt is minimalist (not necessarily bad).The Oster exterior is a bit harder to clean because of the more complicated shape.Container interiors a bit hard to clean by hand on both- too small to clean except by the smallest hand or with a brush. The Oster narrows, the Tribest has ridges (I think they're for esthetics- otherwise they're just in the way).Comment: Oster's customer service was great, once reached. Didn't use Tribest's.Both will do the job, but the Tribest is an easy choice for me.
