The Back to Basics Express Blender Plus is the best single use blender I have ever owned.  It is very durable and has been used almost daily for a year and a half!  I was skeptical that it would last very long, but it has proven to be a dependable part of the family.  I use it to make iced coffee before (and sometimes after) work and it is used for smoothies a lot.  It makes great milkshakes too. The Back to Basics Express Blender Plus comes with two blend and go travel cups.  Just unscrew the blender blades and attach a travel mug top or ring cover and you are ready to drink.  The travel lid closes tightly and even when I accidentally tipped it over, it didn't leak at all. This blender also comes with a second set of grinder blades.  I haven't used these blades as much, but when I did they worked great with my spices. I wash all of the pieces on the top rack of the dishwasher and haven't had any problems with melting cups or seals not working.

I have had this blender for years and have recommended so highly to my friends and family that most of them have it too. It is so simple to use and the system is made endlessly convenient with the extra pieces like the extra cup and smaller vessels. It works perfectly as a blender leaving no clumps or ice chucks at all and is acceptable as far as noise goes. If you switch the cup out for a smaller vessel it functions as a small sized food processor very well too. It takes up little space and would be perfect for a small apartment or maybe even an RV. It is perfect for shakes in the morning as the vessel for the food is shaped like a cup complete with a handle. It makes it simple to throw a healthy shake together and run out the door so you don't miss the most important meal of the day. It is a relative inexpensive purchase and I have gotten far more than my money's worth out of it. I'm sure you will too.

I have had this machine for a couple of years.  It has been a great machine for making a variety of smoothies.  I enjoy making my own recipes.  I would recommend this product.  It has never failed me and it works great 2 years later.
