The Bottom Line

This quality built PB200 Personal Blender & Grinder performs as advertised, with the power to blend and grind like a regular blender, but on a smaller personal scale. Its compact and sleek design is definitely a space-saving feature. The blend and serve cups make cleaning quick and easy - a real time-saver as well. For personal, small quantity blending and grinding, this product is a great buy.

Guide Review - Tribest PB200 Personal Blender & Grinder Review

This Tribest Personal Blender and Grinder is terrific for quick, personal processing, and makes a great smoothie, salsa, ground nuts and corn flake crumbs. Read instructions to ensure you are using the proper blade for each function. Blending cups are personal-sized, so food portions placed in the unit, should be sliced or chopped first, as per instructions.

The unit is very well built, with a solid base that stays in place during operation. Cups are made of durable plastic and the lids have an excellent tight seal. Cleaning is easy and should be done immediately after use. The pulse feature works by pressing down on the unit, until the desired consistency is achieved (very quickly). Blades are very sharp, handle and store carefully as recommended. You can drink right from the cups - great for on-the-go drinks, and the lids are convenient for storing the processed food for later.

This appliance not only works well and looks good, but you can 'feel' the quality of material, and see the attention to detail, especially safety-wise.

Update Smoothies are great and really increase in bulk, you may want to consider purchasing the optional extra large cup, and the travel lid from the Manufacturer at www.personalblender.com

Update After a year's daily operation and mega smoothies, the blade driver for the blending blade must now be replaced. However, this blender is such a convenient appliance that it's worth ordering this replacement part.
