The PopBabies Personal Blender is a must for anyone that drinks meal replacement shakes/protein powder and smoothies. I was blown away by how effective this device is at mixing/blending my fine-powdered shake. You might say- well, it doesn't take much to blend milk and powder... But I am here to tell you that the shakes I use must be sufficiently blended, or it tastes like grit...like you're eating sand. So it is of high importance to me that my shakes get blended correctly. I purchased this for a trip I took to Hawaii recently. I successfully took it through TSA, twice, with no questions or even a bag search. There was no damage to the product after traveling. Here's what I like about this personal blender: 1) It is the size of a water bottle. A little larger when connected to the base. It's small and fits well in luggage. 2) The blender is relatively quiet. I would say it compares to the sound of an electric pencil sharpener. It starts at the push of a button and stops on its own. 3) This one comes with a silicone funnel...a must have if using powder. And since it's made of silicone, it packs easily. 4) You won't have to worry about shaking your arm off anymore...only to find out that there's still a bunch of powder to be incorporated. This does the job, and it does it quickly. Things that could be better: 1) They don't tell you this, but you will do it once, and never again. Always remember to put your milk in *first*, then your powder. If you don't, you will be spending a long time cleaning in hard to reach places. I wish they sent a small brush cleaner along in the package. However, when done properly, it's very easy to rinse with water and soap to clean. 2) I am SO glad they give the funnel, because the opening is small. Perhaps making the opening larger (like in other brands), would eliminate the need for a funnel? 3) this is a small thing...but I wish they had an option to choose one that came with a usb-c cord...as I don't have anything else now that uses the old cords. Overall, this is an excellent product. It worked suprisingly well during my travels, and has made my daily shakes much more enjoyable. I recommend it to anyone else interested in a personal blender.
