I love this portable blender. This is perfect for my on the go life style. You can blend sauces, smoothies, salsa, etc. I made a smoothie and it was done in 30 seconds and I could take it on the go. You use a usb to recharge this blender and its good for 12 blends before you have to recharge again. It is also real easy to clean. I couldn't ask for a better portable blender.
