My bad, I guess I’d forgotten or possibly never read the user’s manual because it clearly shows an illustration showing to hand wash the jar and lid and there is an actual statement saying NOT for the use with hot beverages. I used my original one for a few years for making protein shakes and it worked great, the jar didn’t crack until a few weeks of using it for coffee. But it definitely does not work for hot liquids. Total user error. ;)'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I truly love this blender!!! Used to spend $6 to $7 on smoothies... Not to mention having to be out and about in order to get one. I literally dump all my ingredients for the smoothie into this blender and hit the button... In 30 seconds I have a delicious smoothie. I use regular old bagged frozen vegetables and fruits... Soften them up in the microwave for 60 to 90 seconds... Dumped in with whatever else I want for that smoothie... ranging from banana, yogurt, milk, chia seeds, oatmeal, cacao powder, a fruit cup, Splenda, unsweetened cacao, chopped walnuts, chopped up ice. Literally less than 30 seconds I have a perfectly blended smoothie. I'm honestly amazed. Recommend this to everybody, point blank!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': '➕I pulse the pulse button (off & on button motion) some ppl have recommended it so you don’t kill the tiny motor\n\n➕YOU CAN NOT PUT ANY HOT LIQUIDS IN THIS BLENDER IT SAYS THAT REPEATEDLY IN THE USER MANUAL (it’s a plastic cup it can’t handle that kind of heat of course like most plastics it would eventually break or crack if you continuously put hot liquids in it people let’s think)\n\n➕ it does crush ice and frozen fruits\n\n➕super easy to clean I wasn’t sure how clean this blender would get since you can’t detach the blades but it definitely does get cleaned pretty well as long as you don’t let whatever you blended seat and dry up in the cup...add some water and dish detergent and let it soak for a few mins\n\n➕for the price and the tiny motor that this thing has I’m surprised at how great this blender performs it took me less then 8 minutes to make my smoothies\n\nAll and all if you’re looking for something to cheap and good quality to make your quick smoothies or protein shakes then this might fit the bill for you it definitely does for me❗️'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "Okay so this blender has worked for nothing except mixing in my protein powder super efficiently. I would say if you are wanting this to double as anything...like even for making just a smoothie with banana in it...look somewhere else. Ive pulled this out time and time again trying to get use out of it and I thought I finally had a stroke of genius when I pulled it out to try pureeing super soft cooked veggies and water for my baby's food....no, it didn't work. Its like the blades don't catch absolutely any chunk going on in there. Anyways hope this helps someone."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': "I bought this nifty blender after reading all these 5-star reviews that showcased this product as the mother of all cute-functional-blenders. I am beginning to suspect that Amazon has much more paid 5-star ratings than they're letting on. The blender works but it is extremely weak. Do not try anything too complicated or crazy with it (like fruits or ice cream). Just stick to protein powder and it'll do okay. It's good to use with Tang - if you want to mix Tang with water, or those powdered iced teas too.\n\nOverall I give this 2 stars. For blending power I rate 1 star. To give credit, it is easy to use and easy to clean.\n\nBottom Line:\nThe only reason one would want this is if 1) They only mix Tang or powdered things with water. 2) You live in a studio apartment with a little galley and have no room for a real blender. 3) You like pink things."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'if you’re having doubts about this blender DONT! It’s small & compact, the cord wraps around the bottom, which is nice! & most of all it blends amazingly! Just press the button & it starts, it’s not loud at all either a lot quieter then the bigger ones. Easy to clean as well. Blends frozen food great! I had no problems making my smoothie with protein powder & multiple fruits as Well. *bottom does not dettach* only issue but nothing caked up at the bottom or in the blades after I used it. Very happy overall, & the color is pretty as well. Great buy especially if you have a small kitchen & just need a personal blender for smoothies etc.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I really don’t understand all the negative reviews. I was so skeptical about this blender but being a poor student, I needed to get something cheap price-wise, but not quality-wise This one does the job perfectly. It IS a tiny blender, so it can’t get too hot or be used to blend something other than fruits and vegetables. I’m a smoothies geek and I totally approve this product for people who know how to handle mini items. Do not put it in the dishwasher and do not fill it to the top and ask why it flooded. It’s a one cup blender. Fellow poor students who want to drink healthy smoothies, do buy this blender, it’s so convenient, but only if you know how to maintain little electric products :)'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I read a lot of reviews about how bad this blender was at blending and leaving big chunks of things behind so I was very skeptical about it’s quality, but so far it’s been exactly what I needed. It’s not very powerful, but if used correctly it blends things to a smooth consistency just fine.\n\nHere’s what I do to make it work for me: first add your liquid ingredients, then add the harder pieces like frozen fruits/veggies/ice cubes a little bit at a time. Then pulse it until it blends smoothly. Give it a shake or stir if you need to. I use this to make juices, smoothies, and protein drinks and so far it has blended everything perfectly leaving no large chunks of ice or food behind.\n\nI will update this review after a few weeks/ months of use for it’s durability and longevity.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': ' This was a great product a must buy. Even the hardest items it still blends. I would buy another. I love my morning smoothies an if you love them too this is a must buy you can take them on trips an it’s a personal just for you. Not to big an it’s handy'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I wanted something that could make me a one person smoothie away from home and after looking at several of these types of blenders, comparing prices and reading the reviews, I settled for this one. I have been using it everyday for the last 3 weeks and it has met all my expectations, and more. I have a, Nutri-Blender(Bullet) at home that I am accustomed to using and one of my concern with the, Hamilton Blender was, if it would be able to blend all the fruits combined with things like; beets, ginger, carrot, and mainly the nuts. Well, it has been doing so successfully. Just remember that blenders were meant to be ran in short intervals of about 30 seconds, giving the motor a break, of at least 1-2 minutes, allowing it to cool off or it will definitely burnout, the Hamilton Blender is no different. If you use it correctly it will perform as expected.'}]
