After reading some of the reviews on the Magic Bullet blender and the problems that people were having with it, I decided to go with the Tribest Blender and I am glad I did. This is a phenomenal blender. It is compact, travels well and works perfectly. I love it for my pre-workout shake and also for my post workout shakes. It is fast and efficient and cleans up quickly. Great quality product that is redefining the blender world for people who are on the go and busy.
