Tribest PBG-5050-A Portable Blender for Shakes and Smoothies with Glass Blender Cups, Chrome

This Tribest blender is awesome. I’ve been using the ninja blender for years and while it’s great, it doesn’t last. My mom burned out the motor and I just wasn’t too impressed with it. Mold could easily grow under the gasket, and they were plastic cups.I always wanted a glass blender and I finally stumbled upon this one. I went ahead and returned my new ninja blender and took the plunge on this one and I am SO glad I did.The quality is awesome and I love that it’s all glass. The motor works great and when put to the test to blend my morning frozen smoothies or even make at home powdered sugar, it did not let me down!I was a little hesitant because of the amount of reviews and I was worried it would look different in person but it came better than expected. The base isn’t huge and bulky like some other blends or the ninja one and I LOVE that. Vitamix who? I love my Tribest blender.

This is marketed for smoothies but has no power to blend even the thinnest smoothies with ice or dates. It quickly bogs down and stops, leaving the mixture barely blended. Perhaps this unit is defective — hopefully the manufacturer can reach out and clarify.

Really wanted to love this blender to get away from microplastics. But as others have pointed out it’s very underpowered and that’s not my biggest issue. First use it was fine but after the second or third it’s become so loud my Apple Watch warns me of hearing damage! I think I’ve traded microplastics for metal from the blades or whatever is falling apart in this part of the blender.

I love having an alternative to my Vitamix. Doing small quantities in the large blender is sometimes tedious. Having three sized containers is great. This blender does some things well like grinding flax seeds. That alone may be worth the investment for me. It doesn't compare to the Vitamix with blending harder items though.**I've had the unit for over 3 years now. Still love the concept. Much rather be using glass over plastic. Sadly the glass does not hold up. I've had 3 replacements for the large container. And recently the small container met it's demise. Each break has been exactly the same, around the baseline of the cup. It was random each time. Not due to undue force or stress. Not due to hot liquids. Just picked up the containers and the bottoms had separated. So weird and so frustrating. And these containers are not cheap. The company was good the first 2 times but now they have just ignored me. If I was negligent in my handling of the units I would understand and take accountability. But in this case I can earnestly say the product does not hold up over time. Now I 'm left with a motor base with only one medium sized container which I'm afraid to use because I don't know when it may crack also.

Nice product, really the only one with smaller glass containers. Blending works fine with everything we blend, all veggies, ect. the largest glass container has a handle on it which is very useful. Glass containers are thick glass, so they seem pretty durable. All containers come with lids as well, with silicone liners so no plastic touching the contents. If you do not like using plastic for food items, this will work well for you.

I was looking for a single serve glass blender and I was excited when I found this Tribest blender. This blender was disappointing. I really wanted to like it but I truly could not.The blending power is a joke. It wouldn't even blend a single pitted date. I would put one date in there and every time, three quarters of it would remain whole. It was bizarre.When drinking with the lid on, the lip of the lid would be around my nose area and that was inconvenient and strange.There was also something odd about the order in which the different parts needed to placed in order to blend.I do not recommend this blender. The idea is good but the execution is poor.

Used less than 1 year only once a day to make a protein smoothie and it broke down.

This is my first ever review! But I just had to say that I've searched far and wide for an easy to clean, glass mixer for my daily smoothies. This little guy is the only one I was able to find here on Amazon. And boy am I happy I found it! It is perfect. I make 3 smoothies a day, grind coffee, make sauces and blend my soups and never have to worry about plastic leaching into my food. It is super easey to clean and has lasted me over a year now. It is absolutely a dream come true.
