KOIOSSmoothie Blender, 900W Blenders for Kitchen with 27oz No-BPA Portable Bottles and Spout Lids, 3 Modes Personal Mixer Blender for Shakes Smoothies Frozen Drinks, Nutritious Recipe, Black

I’d been looking for a stand-up blender like this to replace a small food processer that I have. While this is designed for making smoothies, I was looking for something to use for making salsas and other sauces. Again, I have a food processer for this, but it’s a pain to clean each time, and I was looking for something smaller and easier to clean after each use. There were so many options, and honestly, after looking at 25+ blenders and the reviews, I got tired of looking and just decided to give this one a try. I’d never heard of the brand, but it had mostly solid reviews, the price was good, it was simple without a lot of features, which is what I was looking for, and I liked that it came with two fairly large containers and lids. I’m glad I went with this. The dimensions were on the listing, but I when it arrived, it was larger than I expected. Not so much the base (it doesn’t’ have a large footprint) but with the container attached, was taller than I thought it would be. However, that’s a good thing, because I found that anything smaller would have been too small, so this was perfect. The fact that it comes with two containers, both with lids, is really nice, in that it makes it quick and easy to do two items in the same instance. The construction and components all seem high quality. Its not quiet, but it’s also not too loud. It’s probably also more powerful than the size would convey, but I wouldn’t try to push it too much. While I bought this for making salsa mainly, in which it does a spectacular job, I have indeed used it for its intended purpose of making smoothies, and no surprise, does this just as well. If you’re on the fence comparing blender options, I’d encourage you to give this brand you’ve likely never heard of a chance, and probable save some money in the process. It’s a basic blender, but it basic blends very well, and won’t take up too much space. I store mine in a cabinet because I don’t like anything on my counters when not in use, however, it looks nice enough, and has a fairly small footprint, so you could just as easily keep it out all the time. This is not a portable model, it does need to be plugged in. When I was looking, many options were portable and needed to be charged in advance. I personally didn’t want that, as I had no intention of whipping up stuff while out and about, and I think the plug in options are more powerful, and don’t require having the foresight to keep anything charged. Anyway, this is a nice blender at a great price. Go for it, and save yourself another 45 minutes of reading reviews.

Great smoothie maker without breaking the bank. I use lots of frozen fruits and this handles everything nicely. The suction cups on the base are a nice feature. Compact , easy to clean and super easy to use. No complaints for the noise level. The 2 containers and drink lids work perfectly.

Absolutely awful! I have used this only 6 times. Each time it was smoking and smelled like something was burning. Then on the 6th use it completely quit working. I don’t know if this was a dud or reflective of the overall line but buyer beware. Zero stars for me but they won’t let me leave zero.

This is an acceptable mixer. It is not very strong and hops all over my cabinet when it’s mixing. It does not have bad leakage or noise level. But for the value for the money, it’s weak. I doubt it will last through summer. I would look for a better and stronger brand. Thank you.

Very powerful!! I fill it with frozen fruit chunks with a splash of coconut milk & pineapple juice. It didn’t even struggle, just cranked out an awesome smoothie! One lid arrived broken, but they have awesome customer service. So… after some basic, very friendly & helpful communication, I received a replacement at no additional cost. That’s awesome!

I used this appliance almost every day for smoothies. The blades remained sharp for the whole 5 months. The unit itself is still operational and working fine. However, the screw on bottom that holds the blades is coming apart to the point that fluid is leaking through and getting on the unit when I use it. It kept getting louder and louder and my husband looked at it and said the gears/bearings in the lid with the blades are loose and he knew no way of fixing them. 5 months of almost everyday use might be worth the price though. Emulsified all my frozen ingredients wonderfully.

So far this is an awesome little blender that blends seed flours and milks. Can't believe how it juices even carrots and beets

This was exactly what I need to help get more protein in my diet. I now able to make my protein shakes and smoothies so quickly.
