Leakage and Seal

Pros:

Blending Efficiency

Pros:

• "It mixes my shakes from powder in 2 seconds flat. No clumps."
• "This thing obliterated the peanut butter and powders, and mixed the husk fiber about as well as an actual powered blender."
• "Shaking vertically mixes pre-workout and protein powder far better than any other traditional shaker that I’ve used so far."

• "Definitely blends the powder smoothly for my smoothie."
• "I can blend my powders in seconds and with far less clumping than any other OG bottle or alternatives I've tried."
• "It mixes just as advertised and handled the glue like powder great."

Cons:

• "These thicker substances are still clumpy, regardless of 10 seconds or 10 minutes of shaking."
• "It doesn't fully break down 2 tablespoons of peanut butter even after shaking vigorously 50+ times."
• "Doesn’t do a good job of mixing as well for the protein and creatine I have."
• "After 20 seconds of shaking up and down vigorously, it was still clumpy AF."
• "Every single time no matter how much I shake it or how vigorously I have lots of big clumps of dry powder, especially towards the bottom."
• "No amount of shaking mixes the protein well. Lots of clumps and protein stuck in the corners of the bottom."
• "I have shaken this thing every possible way, quite vigorously and for great lengths of time, and it has not blended either of my protein powders, cocoa powder or peanut butter well at all."

Cleaning and Maintenance

Pros:

• "To clean this bottle is incredibly simply, and requires almost no thought."
• "Pro tip: after use, I put water and a little dish soap in the cup and shake to clean."
• "The lack of a shaker ball is great, less to clean up, less noise, and less mess!"
• "And without a little mixer ball inside, it's super easy to clean."
• "There’s no ball or grate that gets clogged so cleaning is a breeze!"
• "No Shaker Ball this makes it incredibly easy to clean, and even easier to use."
• "Best thing is no mixer ball to clean or keep track of."

Cons:

• "The rim that threads into the lid was melted rendering it useless."
• "It could not get CLEAN."
• "I used ajax on a regular basis with a scrubbing brush specifically for bottles like this and the “gook” would not come off."
• "I placed it in the dishwasher to wash it, and the cup itself had melted!"
• "I was sent a used blender bottle which smelled horrible and had tons of debris on the lid and bottom of bottle."
• "The HeliMix could be as good if they made one simple change to the inside bottom of the bottle and made it 'round' with no corners or edges to trap protein powder."
