I received this blender as a gift. I think its a great product however there are just a few flaws and with an update it could be a 5 star. I have been able to blend at least 2 to 3x before I have to charge. Its unfortunate that there is no waring indicator that it'll need to be charged before trying to blend and all of a sudden it just stops. I've had to empty the contents of a smoothie into another jar just to charge it. There should be some sort of cover for the usb c port to prevent water from entering when trying to clean the base. The battery life should definitely be reviewed as well and updated.
