Straw hole and a heavy motor in the lid
I was so excited to find a non-plastic blender option for making single sized smoothies and sauces. I used to cook so much more with a Blendjet as a vegan making customized sauces and dressings. This just grosses me out. I try to use it and I don’t. I stopped a smoothie and sauce habit of years when I bought this and upgraded my Vitamix to a Nama C2. A year of regrettable blenders in trying to get healthier. Anyways the grossest thing about this, is that no matter what I make, since the blender is in the lid and there is a straw hole in the lid, when I flip it to start blending, liquids and fruit, seeds, whatever gets into that hole. So it doesn’t get mixed into the thing I’m making and when flipped right side up adds back its texture which is often off putting. BUT the big big thing is that since I don’t use the straw hole for drinking out of, it doesn’t resonate with me each time that there should be anything in it. And since the whole motor and battery are right next to that straw hole, somehow you’re supposed to clean that and the blades really well while not getting the cable charge hole wet at all, and too many times when I go to open this it smells rot, and since it’s stainless steel the smell really seeps in and is hard to correct. I keep looking for a non plastic lid without a straw hole to replace this because I hate waste, but it was a waste of a purchase for me and now I feel even more stuck considering spending more money on alternative plastic products when I have this already. I have it soaking let again and hope it’ll be different, but I think I’ve been disappointed 40+ times by this by now and good with the results maybe twice.

Good concept, flawed execution.
While the blender's compact design is useful, its functionality is hampered by critical design issues. The integrated straw hole is a prime example—it's a solution in search of a problem and has become the main source of leaks, compromising the product's portability. Furthermore, the battery performance is well below expectations. The device enters a dormant state too quickly, and a single charge depletes after just a few blending cycles, severely limiting its usefulness.

I love it!
I loved it so much! I've been wanting to buy it for a while and I finally did. Since I go to the gym, I found it very practical for making my shakes in the car. I highly recommend it.

Didn’t last
This blender worked so great for a couple of months and then it just stopped working.

Great quality and versatility
This thing is great! It has provided me a real benefit for something small and portable with good power for my needs. Been using about a month now and use it almost every day.

Flawed
I bought it in August (it's October now), unit already has stopped charging. On paper, it's a great product, but the motor is weak — it won't blend things like ice or dates, and often the protein powder gets stuck at the bottom and not properly mixed. The battery power is also suspect.

Not as good as my unbranded blender
I’m honestly surprised that the Flip is not as good as my 2 cheap unbranded blenders which cost a lot less. It’s top heavy with the motor base on top. Once i am done blending, i remove the motor and put the lid on to drink, which helps significantly to keep the weight down. I like that the lid has a straw portion with a membrane so the liquid doesn’t come back through, even though I’ve not used this part of it. I always sip from the open spout area, but it’s nice to have both options. The insulated cup really keeps drinks nice and cold no matter how long time passes. This is a big plus. I have not used it for hot liquids but i assume the insulation would be the same. The only downside about the insulated cup is you can’t see inside it, so you have no idea if what you blended needs a bit more unless you remove the motor base from the top. I wanted to like this blender but there are some cons i just can’t get past. I’m completely stunned that my 2 off brand cheap blenders completely beat the Flip on power and blend quality. In comparison, the Flip honestly sounds weak and i have to flip it to blend. The Flip doesn’t blend completely - fyi i am just doing whey protein and collagen shakes in it. It doesn’t blend completely, it leaves some powder completely unblended. Forget about doing frozen fruit, even if it’s been thawed because you will have lumps and non-blended fruit. The Flip is weak and i can’t believe it because my other nutribullet blenders have always been fabulous. But not this one. I also don’t like that i can’t see inside the insulated cup, but i guess i can sacrifice it being cold and good instead of seeing inside. However, the biggest pet peeve and the reason why i am writing this review after I’ve used the product very minimally for about 5 months (a couple times each month) is because i made a whey/collagen shakes, and after drinking all the liquid, i left the cup with the lid screwed on as i didn’t have time to remove it and clean before going to work. It sat in my kitchen for a few hours and when i returned, i couldn’t get the lid unscrewed from the cup. I soaked it in hot water, and still i couldn’t remove it. So now i have to order a new cup (unless it’s under warranty) in order to use this blender. I probaly won’t though because it’s so weak compared to my other 2. I honestly do NOT recommend the Flip because of my experience with it on what has happened, and also its complete lack of power with the simplest of stuff to blend. There are cheaper and better, more powerful options elsewhere.
