Back to Basics BPE3 Blender Express

Pros: Small footprint, crushes ice and frozen fruit, blend in cup you drink from.

Cons: The hole in the lid you drink from should be a little larger.

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this blender because it crushes ice and frozen fruit at the same time without a problem. Convenient, blend in cup you drink from.

Review: Since I am the only person in my house using this blender it is the perfect size for one serving. I've used this blender to make smoothies/coffee concoctions everyday for 7 months (sometimes twice a day). I make most of my smoothies with ice AND ...

Pros: Small. Handy to take to work. Great price. Lids screw on securely. Works well.

Cons: A bit noisy. Might have to shake up the contents to get everything to blend.

The Bottom Line: I definitely recommend this product. It's compact and doesn't take up much space. It works well and it's great for anyone on the go.

Review: I'm NOT a morning person, and value my sleep too much to get up an extra 10 minutes early to make my breakfast smoothies at home, so I bought this little blender to keep at work and I LOVE IT!! But it would be great to keep at the house, too, because ...

Pros: Small, easy of use, powerful (crushes ice).

Cons: NONE (so far) -- only have used it this week.

Review: I bought this for work. I was tired of drinking clumps from my protein powders in the packets. It's great! No more clumps, very easy to use, dual speeds plus pulse speed -- all for 19.99. It cleans easily and doesn't take up much room. And the seals ...

Pros: Fast, easy, convenient.

Cons: Get that lid on tight before you turn the blender on.

Review: I mix my protein supplement in this blender every morning. Some cold water, a dash of skim milk, my protein powder, a little fruit, blend and go. No need to pour the contents in to another container in order to take it with you. I love ...

Pros: Good for making shakes, easy to carry.

Cons: Loud, can't handle too many solids at once.

The Bottom Line: Good for making single serving shakes, but can be loud.

Review: I bought this blender so that I could make protein shakes with it. The first time I used this blender, I would put in a quarter cup of water, protein powder, half a banana, and half a cup of frozen berries, but the sound that resulted from the blender ...

Pros: Cheap. Small. Easy to use. Lightweight. Available in a variety of colors.

Cons: Plasticy appearance. Lacks power. Noisy. Vibrations. Durability (motor quit after four days)

The Bottom Line: No matter how inexpensive something is, I expect a product to do it’s job reasonably well for a reasonable amount of time. This little blender did neither.

Review: I received this blender as a gift. I had planned to use it on a daily basis to replace my old Braun hand blender for mixing protein shakes. I typically throw in a banana or some raspberries with some milk and a couple of ice cubes, nothing too strenuous ...
