This blender is great to take on-the-go!  The blender is not too heavy to take along.  It is rechargeable, which is the best feature.  We charge it, and can use it for most of the week.  I like that you can just fill, blend, and drink all in one.  No need to dirty extra cups.  The container is easy to remove in order to wash.  The lid has an opening to drink from.   The blender works well with frozen fruit and juices.  It doesn't blend whole pieces of ice well, but as long as you use crushed/chopped ice, it will blend easily.
