So for home I have a Vitamix blender. Undoubtedly one of the best mixer on the market. But I was looking for an alternative for the road. Most "mini-mixer" have a lot of negative reviews and probably all tend to overheating. This lightweight, low-cost shredder Moulinex crushed easily and fruit along with liquid and other ingredients can be easily produced a smoothie. Weeds I have not tried it yet. This already have most Blenders problems.
