Tribest PB-150 Personal Blender for Shakes and Smoothies with Portable Blender Cups, White Large

Great blender, have had this for many years and use it frequently to blend frozen fruits, ice, and anything you would make a smoothly. I also use it to grind coffee beans. Cup sizes are great for individual servings and travel. Not heavy or bulky. Cleaning is easy w soap and water. I've put items into dishwasher, and fine, but I'm sure over time the cups might get cloudy, but u can always purchase new ones. I looked at buying a new one cause mine lost a leg after over 5 years, and looks beat up. I didn't like how all the other ones had much larger glasses or wider to take up more space in cubbord. This blender is very small and easily fits cups in dishwasher or in cubbords and the machine can be easilystowed and is lightweight. Blades are wicked fast and blend very smoothly. Overall amazing item for person use. Wish it came in crome color. I see the other that does, but it looks slightly different, and I just want this small footprint item.

I first learned about this machine from a chef and a nutritionist at a nutrition spa in Germany (Buchinger-Wilhelmi). With it, they prepared, healthy and tasty, vegetarian soups, sauces, and mousses. Since then, I have been using it almost daily. It is reliable and as efficient as larger and more expensive food, processors and blenders.

I've had the personal blender for a little over a week now and have used it everyday for smoothies. This powerful little blender whips up frozen fruits (bananas, berries, mangoes, pinneapples, etc), in a few seconds with no problems. It also does a great job at grinding spices.I love that the product contains no BPA's. It is extremely easy to use and clean, and comes with (2)small and (2)large blend and serve cups with lids. It also has a travel lid which is great for that "smoothie on the go." The small footprint and attractive design makes it easy to take along when traveling or leave out on the counter when at home.If you are thinking about purchasing this blender, don't hesitate, you will love it! I just hope it lasts for the long haul, not many products do these days. I'll try to revisit this review next year this time with any updates. I also have Tribest SoloStar juicer and love that as well.Tribest rocks!!

I bought mine in 2023 for travel and because I liked how it looked. It is now stuck in the 'On' mode after 2 years of very light use. I say light use because it doesn't have the power of other equivalent blenders so I really only use it to blend a coffee or a cocoa type drink. The rubber dam in one of the blades broke within weeks of purchase rendering one blade useless. Currently due to the blender being stuck in 'On' mode, I have to plug & un-plug to blend instead of depress, and lift. I have a magic bullet & 3 Vitamix blenders that do the heavy work with never a single problem owning for 20 years, this one, it's just cute, nothing more, didn't even last 2 years.

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.

First let me say I own a Vitamix blender and love it, but initially felt I wouldn't want to make as much smoothies as the Vitamix would allow.I have been wanting to incorporate more greens into my diet and after doing a lot of research this unit is what I purchased and I am happy with the results this personal blender accomplishes. The Tribest personal blender is super fast and easy to clean.I will say though, that if you put too much liquid in the container and you don't screw the blades on tight, it will sometimes leak a little, but that's my fault, not the blender. Make sure the blender cap is tight.I have to warn you that after drinking green smoothies for awhile you're going to want larger batches. I found myself making another smoothie right after drinking one.I didn't think I would enjoy green smoothies as much as I do... so I have now stopped using the Tribest and am using my Vitamix blender. I make a lot more green smoothies these days and decided that the Vitamix is a better blender for my needs.Also, the Vitamix is a lot more easier and fast to clean than I expected. I also noticed that the green smoothies made in the Vitamix are much more pulverized and smoother making them much more palatable than the ones made with the Tribest. But don't get me wrong, the Tribest is a nice machine, but if you enjoy green smoothies, you will eventually make larger quantities like I have done.If that's the case, I would highly recommend saving up and getting a Vitamix or similar high end blender. It will be a good investment for your health.Just my 2 cents,Dennis
