My only regret is not having bought it before!,

I have had the $100 Kitchenaid blender for a few years now. What a pain it is, it actually is an 8 piece assembly (not including the base). So each and everytime you use it, ugh! And I don't put the rubber gaskets (2!) in the dishwasher, so handwashing and then re-assembly is a chore/hassle. The tribest-200 is incredible. I am using it twice daily to mix protein shakes, it does a great job, and I have not had any problems with the ice crushing at all. The best part is only 2 pieces to clean up! Wahoo! I like the fact I can assemble the shake (powder, water, ice cubes), mix and then use the same container to drink it. I did upgrade and buy the case that includes the commuter lid (no spills on the road).

Love it! Use it everyday!,

We bought this little powerhouse about 3 months ago and use it daily! I make smoothies every morning with it. We also use it to grind spices, make guacamole, salsa, dips, dressings, gazpacho. Just remember that the "wet" blade always has to be used with at least 1/4 cup of liquid in it (I tried grinding carrots alone - but had to add water).
It is incredibly easy to clean, just add a little soap and water and whir it through the blender, rinse and dry ...(it's not dishwasher safe!)
Also - the containers are also great for storage - we leave the dressings in them in the fridge (rather than dirtying another jar).
Very useful, simple and light-weight blender; great for a raw diet too - because of the size it is so easy to pack it up to travel with.

When I first decided to buy a personal blender, I shopped around, I picked this one and then started read the reviews. I dedided to buy this one, and I LOVE it, Who said it doesnt crush ice, I made all sorts of smoothies, this thing is powerful and and very easy to clean. I recommend it to anyone who likes to make small drinks on the fly.
