Portable Juice Blender - Juice Cup

My sister recently got this portable juice blender (charged via usb) from online (I think it was going on an offer for two), so she gave one of it to me. I remember watching videos of similar products and had my doubts on how it would work, so when I got this, I thought.. "since it's with me, why not?".

Product Review

First things first, the instruction manual... there are some parts of the manual that left me in question marks because it isn't very clear, but the gist of it should be well understood.

Product Summary

Full Manual

Before I started using the product, I had cleansed it by adding only water and starting the blades... and that cleansed quite well, but I was experiencing a bit of leakage from the bottom probably due to the way that the device itself is structured? If you had seen my video (at the start of the post), you would have had a look at the different parts of the entire blender.. and the container that holds the fruits and water/milk is actually just a tube (material: food grade PC) with both ends exposed. So that might have caused a bit of leakage which wasn't very pleasant.

In terms of blending, basically, you have to keep the size of fruits small, around 1.5 cm by 1.5 cm (mentioned in the manual). I tried blending carrots with oranges and apple... it was blending well in the video but on my 2nd try, it kept getting stuck (around the blades) and I wasn't able to start the device at all. [self confession: okay, I used a rough visual estimate so maybe I wasn't being very precised about it]. I think, it might have worked better without the carrots, though I wouldn't actually know. There were a lot of coarse residues, probably what the filter was for...but if I had the filter on, i'll be getting about 5% of what was actually blended.

My conclusion about this product? - the concept itself is pretty cool.. like my sister was telling me that she could bring fruits to work and blend it as and when (as long as its battery is charged), it is after all a portable blender. Well, the practically of that idea... honestly, I wouldn't like to risk it leaking all over the place. If i have to do it at the pantry, I'm sure there are power points that I can use a smaller version of an actual juicer or something that has better capabilities of blending? 

It was a fun experiment with this product. Maybe I should give this another try with other types of fruits and I'll update if I have a change in my opinion. Till then... 😅
