The blade is in the cover and you cover the cup and screw it in the base. Works great!

the upside down cup part comes off, you put all ingredients in, put lid back on which is also the part with the blades, and turn back upside down and blend. Then when done the lid with blades comes off and you can use the other drink lid if you want or pour in a glass. I love this blender cause it is small (one or two smoothies) and does ice well.

I use it for protein shakes. I put in the water, two scoops of powder, peanut butter and then ice. I put the cover on and blend it for about 30 seconds. When it's done, I turn it back over and unscrew the top and put a straw in it. It works wonderfully!!

the lid connected to the machine comes off when you remove the smoothie maker, there is an attached lid that screws off. There is also another lid you can use to drink out of or store the smoothie. Great small smoothie maker!

First off, this one is not small. It's actually one of the largest single serve blenders available, especially at this price. Basically, you put your fruits, ice, etc in the cup, screw on the blade, turn it over and lock it into the base. Blend, unlock, turn over. Replace the blade with the top and go.

Works great. Blade is in the cover to the cup which locks onto the base. I use it almost everyday.

you put the ingredients in the cup then put the blade on the top. Turn it over and it mixes everything up just like your regular blender works. When it is done you take it off the motor and remove the blade and put on the drinking lid. I use mine (another brand) for 2 shakes / smoothies every day.

I did receive an email from someone at Amazon with a phone # for the place 866-772-8522 I called them this morning and he said he would get my info to his supervisor and mail a copy of the instructions but I forgot to ask for the recipe book so I called them back and found out this is the wrong #. This place handles the Big Boss Blender not the juicer so they can't help me. I really want to keep the product but I can't figure out how to take it apart etc. I still need help trying to get intouch with them. I see you sent a request do you think I should do that also?

Depends on what you are making. I made the mistake of making a pretty thick smoothie that didn't mix too well until I added more juice. As long as you have enough liquid in it to allow the ingredients to move, the blender works very well.

These work with the "magic bullet" blenders at Wal-mart. You might want to contact the cooks manufacturer. From what I read at Good House Keeping their review was not kind to the Cooks Blender.

I use them for what I consider to be "thick" smoothies...I wouldn't use them for bubble teas or something like that, because the diameter is the same as a normal straw. I make smoothies using smoothies, fruit (some frozen) and very little liquid and the straws work great for those.

They seem to write upside down, at least for a short period of time. I remember that the marketers of the old Fisher Space Pen made a big deal about how that pen could always write upside down. That never seemed very important to me, but I sort of assumed taht other pens, like the Jotter and PaperMate pens, must not be able to do so. But I just tried, and my pen seems to write fine.

Sounds like you have either an old blender or a commercial blender. I would take the blender to an authorized dealer and see if they can match up to your needs. Our item is inexpensive but I don't want you to buy it if it does not work for you.

I'm pretty good at _watching_ how someone else is baking, so I asked her... :-) The reply was that these shot glasses are too small, but mainly they are long & narrow, which may pose a problem when you want to release whatever you bake in them. So, back to the original use - Cheers...

I have used my old blender several times and still works great. Just remember:Remove 3 screws on the bottom of the blenderPull off coverUse a screwdriver to keep the motor's shaft from spinningOn the other side, use a wrench, grab and unscrew the brass ring in a clockwise motion (It's reverse threaded)Screw on new replacement blade driver (Counter-clockwise to tighten)Put blender cover back onReinstall the 3 screws on the bottom of the blenderYou're done!

What's the rubber issue? I have owned my blender for a number of months, use it almost daily and have no issues. I'm extremely happy.

I have the Bamix Pro, my second Bamix and I have loved mine. I wore the first one out, like, worked it to death in about 13/15 years. So sorry your doesn't meet your expectations. I don't even own a blender.

i fixed mine and it works like it did before no issues. The only problem is that you have to break the blender apart to fix it.

This is a just below average blender, I bought it specifically for making smoothies. I saw it in our local grocery store, so I was able to really look it over before I bought it. However, the "smoothie button" is a load of garbage. I use frozen fruit and frozen veggies, liquid, and yogurt. I always put the liquid and yogurt in first and still I have to use the pulse button to get everything mixed (I have to keep stopping to mix with a utensil) and then I have to leave it on the puree button to really get it to blend smoothly. Considering I use it twice a day everyday it's kind of annoying, but while it's blending I get time to clean up. BOTTOM LINE it's takes too long for making smoothies, it IS very loud, AND worst of all it leaks, there is not a good seal no matter how tight I try to make it. Is it a good value for the money? I would have rather spent the money on the Ninja. Hope this helps!

I had the same problem... the only way to 'soften them up' is to soak them overnight... then use them in smoothies made with a Vita-Mix...

I have found that the system works when my decanter or processor has its handle facing the front of the base and is secured. When I did that, everything worked. The smoothie I was attempting to make got clogged in the blender but mixed, excellently with the processor!

No problem at all with this blender. If it's too late to return it to Amazon, just contact the manufacturer and I'm sure they'll rectify the problem for you.

I returned mine quickly. It is a glorified blender. The sugar allows it to stay "slushy" longer...
