Blendtec - Go 30-Oz. Travel Bottle - Clear/Black

Doesn't blend as advertised. Frozen fruit, fresh fruit, and ice cubes all have chunks left that are gross and don't go through a straw. I haven't even tried the solo cup feature because I think it's wasteful. Buy the mini wildside instead, does as good a job as the big jars in smaller portions.

I bought the twister jar about a month ago and have used it to make hummus twice. It does a great job and the results are so much smoother than when using a traditional food processor. The Blendtec motor is very powerful and as you use the twister jar and twist it, you can feel the power. Almost too powerful for the little jar when using the salsa/dips preset button. But I think after a few more uses I'll get more comfortable with it. I also like the size as it is easy to remove your finished product (as opposed to the standard jar which can be oversized when trying to make small portions). I look forward to trying more recipes with the Twister Jar in order to justify its hefty price tag.

I absolutely love this jar!!! It is perfect for the smoothies I've been making lately which include 1 cup liquid, crushed ice and protein powder. I love using the disposable cups with the smoothie but make sure the ice is crushed or your cup might crack. I'm not giving it a 5 simply because I feel the jar is over priced. As much as I love it, I wasn't willing to pay full price. I only purchased it because at the time, it was 20% off. Other than the price, I don't feel like you would go wrong making this purchase if you are an on the go kind of smoothie maker like me.

The Go Cup itself is great... I use the GoCup every morning with the plastic lid. I discovered that inserting a Solo-Cup insert does NOT work very well at all for a couple of reasons. 1) The plastic cup will crack from hard materials such ice during blending and splashed all over the Go Cup a, 2) In order to get a tight enough seal on the you have to tighten anyway n the lid sooooo tight that it makes it virtually impossible to to get the lid off.

This Blendtec GO bottle is well made like all Blendtec products. I do appreciate that! However, for me it is not as convenient as the pitcher. If you need to add anything to the bottle while it is blending you have to take it off the blender and unscrew the jar instead of just opening a lid. Blending in individual cups is not all that convenient either.It can be a little messy. It would be just as easy to blend and then pour into cups. Looking back, for the money I spent, I wish I had gotten the Mini Wildside Jar.
