Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Tribest Personal Blender, Compact Package (PB-100)
Customer Review: Very Nice
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this blender after having burned out the clutch on my Kitchen Aid from daily use for about a year. Now that I've used this baby for a while, I don't think I'll ever go back to large blenders again.
The blend quality in this machine is flawless. I've used it to make frozen drinks, smoothies, and to blend my eggs to make scrambled eggs. This blender does not leave any left over hunks of ice or fruit to clog your straw up. Ice is blended to a very fine consistency. Much finer than I was used to with my old blender.
Powders and oils are not a problem. If you have some powder that seems to have clumped into a corner while you were putting the ingredients in, just shake it up a little bit like a carton of milk before you blend it.
Flaxseed oil gets completely mixed up in the mixture during blending. My old blender would waste about half of the oil when I hit the on button by slinging it all over the jar and coating the entire blending jar with it. This machine has not left any oil on the sides of the container. Probably because the mixture takes up the entire container.
Speaking of the mixture taking up the entire container -- this is a very good thing. I had bought the 24oz container since my smoothies always seemed to fill up that much space after blending. It turns out that most of that volume was air. All of my ingredients fit inside the 16oz container, and since the container is closed air tight while it is blending, it prevents the mixture from pulling in excess air. Now I don't have smoothie burps :)
The 8oz containers are perfect for blending eggs. You can blend everything with the eggs, and it comes out looking like the pre-blended varieties you can buy in cartons at the store. The eggs cook out nice and fluffy just like I bought them at a restaurant.
One last thing I want to mention is that I thought the containers looked ugly and too long while looking at them on this site. However, they look very nice on the counter. The plastic on the containers is nice and thick, and seems to resist anything sticking to them. I can just tell that the construction is solid from the look and feel.
I highly recommend this blender.
Update (Oct 2007)
The blender is still going strong. I use it 1-2 times a day. The only problem I've had is the o-ring in the blade attachment broke in half. Literally, I only have half of an o-ring. You can't buy a replacement for just the o-ring. It's not much of a problem, though. I found that it will not leak as long as you rinse it off if you have to open it before you're done blending. Happy blending.
