I had a very positive experience with the new Bionic portable blender. The instructions were very clear and easy to follow. I was able to blend my favorite combination of fruit, yogurt, and milk with no issues and the texture was smooth and creamy. The blender works effectively and is strong enough for what I need to use it for. It's helpful that the blender cup has an attachment so it can be used as a serving cup to drink from. 
It has a rubberized ergonomic grip around the motor unit and a rubber ring insert at the bottom of the cup so it rests nicely on a flat surface. You need to push the on/off button twice to start it, thus protecting against unintended starts if knocked while traveling with it in a bag. I would definitely recommend this excellent product.
