Not worth it, choose something better! – Absolute piece of junk -Seals poorly -Barely has enough power to blend frozen strawberries Died after only a couple of months Would not recommend at all, buy something a little more expensive instead Show details
Not reliable!! – The product is not reliable, I bought the same product twice because it's handy but the blade starts leaking within two years using it twice a week. The spare part with shipping cost you more than half the new product price. Show details
Known gasket fitting fault – Gasket easily falls out and at a cost of $5 each gasket and $7.50 postage what a rip off for a known design fault. If you don’t have the gasket it leaks when used. Show details

Easy to clean, use and maintain; very happy – Received as a gift and very impressed. The blender is quick, allows you to control the thickness of your drink and has minimal to no waste. I haven't had any difficulty blending fruit and vegetables both fresh and frozen. The amount of liquid added to solids will impact on the machines blending ability. I found if the machine appeared to struggle… Read more
with my mix, adding one-quarter to half a cup of water made a significant difference and made blending easier and didn't impact on flavour and/or texture. My blender has been reliable, is sturdy and durable, it is noisier than desired. It takes up little room in comparison to majority of blenders and is attractive enough to store on the kitchen Bench top. My favourite feature is the ability to blend in the bottle you'll use and the blades are wide enough for visual inspection of leftover ingredients, which are extremely minimal; allowing for the entire fruit/vegetable to be used and not wasted. Has been a wonderful device to ensure my children are getting enough fruit/vegetable intake. This blender even helped my family shorten a severe flu during winter, as we were able to make ginger, lemon, honey and fruit/vegetables shakes without the horrid taste. Due to being received as a gift I initially was unaware of the purchase price, until personally purchasing one for a gift and I was amazed it is priced much lower than my expectations.Very pleased and would definitely recommend to someone wishing to blend without the fuss of cleaning and discovering half the ingredients pulped throughout the machine. Quick, effective, minimal to no waste, easy to clean, operate and store, encourages healthy choices and the ability to increase fruit/vegetable intake.
It won't last long! – It seems the problems I had aren't unique to me. Once you've navigated past the obvious company paid for product reviews, you get a good idea of what this product actually offers. It is a very good machine at first. It's fast, blends well and easy to use. The design isn't too good though. It has a very awkward drinking lid that is not designed… Read more
for anything past water.
The blending cap is a very strange design, with a random and somewhat pointless rubber seal that doesn't fit snugly and lives over holes. So when the seal fails, which it will do after a few weeks, your smoothly will start to flood over you worktop. To make matters worse, the blade cogs leak a mixture of oil and grated plastic in to your smoothly while mixing. This is the black liquid people ask about. It can't be healthy, especially as plastic can be a carcinogen.
Cleaning the blade lid is quite difficult due to all the random crevasses and strange click together parts it's made of. After a few months, the top blade lid broke completely. The plastic that housed the blade cogs just gave way and broke. No doubt you can buy replacement parts as this product looks like it was designed to fail.
So is this product cheap? No. Because to have the same lifetime as a product 3 times the cost, you have to buy 10. Do the math!
Awesome for the price – Bought this about 8 months ago and am very happy with it. Wouldn't put hard fruit in it though. I usually make banana smoothies sometimes mango or blueberry, it's brilliant for those. Sometimes it makes a funny noise and you need to make sure it's put on properly. Tip: only fill 3/4 full or you'll have problems with overfill leading to leakage (… Read more · 2
I'm guessing that's what's happened to previous reviews) and it doesn't like being too full. Simply fill, screw on top, put on and whizz. Then take off motor lid and replace with drink lid. One container for mixing and drinking, easy.
Overall, I was really surprised with the quality for the price. Am very happy, will be buying one for christmas gift and will purchase another once this one goes. At this price, am not expecting it to last a couple of years as it gets used constantly, but I would happily buy another. Brilliant for the price, would recommend to anyone wanting to make quick smoothies without the cleaning drama. I've got three kids who all like different smoothies, it's easy to give them what they each want without any drama. Buy one, you'll be happy.

Terrific little blender (so far) – I've only had this a short while but so far I'm very pleased with it's performance. I've had a Nutri Bullet (never again; expensive rubbish!) and a Nutri Ninja 750 (quite good for about four years ($69 from Big W) but the motor burned out a few weeks ago but no complaints. I read the reviews here of the Mix 'n Go and bought it online from Bing Lee… Read more
for $29 + about $6 postage. Even if it only lasts a couple of years it would be good value. I use it to blend kale (Yuck!) with juice as I have to have the kale every day for medical reasons.
Simple to use and inexpensive – This blender is so Simple to use and inexpensive. Blends nicely. Easy to clean and takes up very little storage space. Has it’s own lids to blend And seal and take with you outside the home.
Good and worth the price – Purchased this recently whilst moving homes, I have found It handles food items well, we had one previously as well and were happy enough with it to purchase another one. Show details
Negative reviews
This is good value but a silly design – There are some fundamentally design flaws with this product, given that you have to tip the smoothie cup upside down to blend and it can sometimes get stuck - quite silly as you could end up with liquid everywhere. However, for the cheap price, it’s not a bad purchase. I’ve also had mine for several years now so I’ve definitely got my money’s worth. Show details
Does not last long – It was a good size and comes with two bottles and chills. First use was ok and everything went first. Then when I tried to make a drink the date after, it went dead. There were burning smell so I think motor overheat and burn out. So it only last one use and went dead. Doesn't last long at all. Disappointing. Show details

Great for Liquid Substances – I got this blender a little while ago, and I use it all the time! Sometimes it has a bit of a problem blending frozen berries, it’ll freeze up the blades and get stuck, so I’ll have to hit the bottle a few times to manoeuvre the fruit into a blendable position. The blades aren’t very sharp which is good for safety, but not so good for blending. It… Read more
certainly gets the job done though, and it’s a lot more affordable than some others. It definitely works better for room temperature foods and cold liquids, than frozen foods and icy liquids.

Great value and quality - does the job – This blender is well made and capable of great smoothies and milk shakes . I’ve also blended up soups I’ve made . It’s simple to operate and is obviously great quality . I’ve had it about 3 years and it’s 100% operating and functionality . I’d buy the same again but I think this one will be with me at least another 3 years . They can build up a little grit around the base but it’s easy enough cleaned . Show details
Great Blender, Plenty of Power – I love to use it for smoothies with ice blocks and this blender has no problem breaking them down to a nice slushie. It has a great pulse option and is a good looking unit on the bench. Show details
For the price it's perfect – I love making icy drinks at home but have never found a satisfactory blender in my price range until now. This thing is well priced, easy to use and suits my purposes perfectly. I'm a huge fan of the way this thing crushes ice, which is what I've been looking for. Most blenders I've used diminish the ice so much it's no longer there. If you like a frappe-like consistency, that's no good but this one achieves that consistency very well. Show details
Love Using This!! – I’ve had this for a few years now! I was amazed at the price and even more pleased how easy it is to use! It’s light weight, not bulky and simple to use & we even take it on holidays with us!! For those reviewing & stating their disappointment that this doesn’t stack up as a food processor...ITS NOT ONE, its a MIX & GO! When I need a quick… Read more
breakfast smoothie or cocunut water blend, this hasn’t failed me! After years of use, it’s still going strong. It does have a slight burning/rubber smell now, but for what I paid and the fact it’s still going... I’m 100% happy with it! Just don’t try using it like a Nutri Bullet and throw nuts and heaps of hard based things in. Stick to milk or water based smoothies and drinks and it’ll be fine! Eg: Strawberry Delight 4 Strawberries 1/2 Banana 1 Cup Almond Milk 1 T Pumpkin Seeds
Summer Coconut Drink 1 Cup Coconut Water A few mint leaves 1/4 grapefruit or orange
George packs a punch – This item just keeps going and going and going. I mix shakes to help with my diet. I put in bananas but I like it cold so I also put in a glass worth of ice cubes. Sounds like the machine is going to break , but it never has. Show details
Perfect drink blender – I am 100% satisfied with this product and the way it blends with ease. Crushes and blends anything I put inside the tube. everything blends up perfectly with ease and leaves no lumps. I like the tall cylinder shape and the fact it has hard connection disk to the mixer not like the others with rubber that shreds after a while. Show details
Highly recommend – Highly recommend this product. The blending ability is good. I love using this blending machine to make milk shake and juice! Also, the idea of chill stick is pretty awesome! Show details
The stick blender is great – I use the stick blender for shakes it works really well I am really happy with it I told a friend about it then she went and bought one I like every thing about the blender Show details

Great blender for the price, actually, can't expect more even if I paid double – Perfectly blends my smoothies, or occasionally my pumpkin soup. Every now and then there's an escaped small chunk of banana but apart from that it's fairly smooth blending. I love the chill sticks, perfect to bring to the gym or to work, keeping the smoothies cool for ages! So simple to use and clean too. Show details
Great blender – Much cheaper than a nutribullet and much better. It is small and sleek and easy to use and clean. It even blends apples. Love this blender and highly recommend it. BRILLIANT! Show details
Simple Smoothies – This is an excellent blender for soft fruits and vegetable powders. Best used for simple smoothies, perhaps with easy blend additions such as rolled oats or protein powder, but not the harder ingredients like nuts and seeds Show details
I can’t live without this – When I first brought this product I wasn’t sure if it could do what I needed it to do. I was mistaken and it has been my best purchase. I have used this blender every morning with a variety of different fruit, vegetable and ice and have had no problems with it blending everything up. Highly recommend this product. Show details
Great value for money, Easy to use – I got this product for under $30. This product is great value for money. Mix and go bottles make it super easy to prepare a smoothie and save time. Highly recommended. Show details
Exceptional value for money – So, we are in the hunt for a decent smoothie maker but everything was around the $100 mark. At first I was skeptical to buy this product for around ~$30 and after 4 weeks I can tell you that it is exceptional value for money. It mixes really well, crushes the ice really well and the container size is pretty decent. What sucks is the noise it makes...its like drilling into a wall.. Show details
Great – Plastic Cups seem thicker and more durable compared to my last ones Blends Very Well: I questioned the strange shape of the cups until I started blending. It has bladed shaping on the bottom and sides to create a vortex that swallows everything you put in it. The blades look scarier than my last blender. Show details
Good infact perfect – I absolutely love this bullet of an item blends fast made with great material no rusting absolute steal i got it for 50 dollars as second hand boy this is an amazing deal Show details
