Tribest Personal Blender / Grinder PB-200

As versatile as it is portable, the Tribest Personal Blender delivers an impressive 200 watts of ice-crushing, smoothie-making power wherever you plug it in. Tribest Personal Blender is compact and smartly designed with high impact polycarbonate plastic containers for blending, grinding or serving. The containers conveniently come with a lid for easy storage. Capable of 2 function modes: One touch short pulsation or press down for continuous blending/grinding operation.

"Make it your way, in your own cup, and drink up!"

The Tribest Personal Blender is the all-in-one, high-powered, smoothie-blending, coffee-grinding, sauce-making wonder with Blend-N-Serve cups for extreme convenience.

Just put your favorite ingredients in one of the Personal Blender’s single serving blending cups, screw on the blending assembly, and place it upside-down on the motor base. Press for pulse mode, or press and twist for continuous operation. Once you get it to that perfect consistency, just take off the blending assembly, and drink from the cup.

Not everyone likes the same ingredients in their smoothies or blended drinks, and it used to be a hassle to make everyone exactly what they wanted. You would have to stop and clean that clumsy blending jar every single time you switched recipes. The Personal Blender, by Tribest, eliminates that hassle. It comes with multiple Blend-N-Serve cups so you can enjoy your favorite recipe in your own cup, while making something else for a friend or a loved one in their own cup, without that extra cleaning step in between. Plus, each cup comes with its own lid for easy storage.

The Blend-N-Serve cups are made of tough polycarbonate, and are virtually unbreakable. They’re made from the same material as bullet-proof glass. The cups completely enclose the blending and grinding blades, keeping the blades away from probing hands and fingers. The advanced safety features built into the Personal Blender prevent operation when blades aren’t completely enclosed within the cup, making it impossible to come in contact with the spinning blades. An ordinary blender is nowhere near as safe.

Cleaning up is easy too. Just wash your cup and rinse the screw-on blade assembly, or just put them in your dishwasher. There’s no more bulky blending jar with its hard to reach blades and surfaces to clean, since everything is blended right in your own serving cup!

The powerful 200 watt motor allows you to blend everything from ice to frozen fruits. With the grinding assembly in the PB-200 model, you can grind coffee, nuts, grains, and even those feisty flax seeds. In under a minute, you can make your choice of hundreds of delicious and nutritious recipes. Blending and grinding have never been easier.

Ordinary blenders come with only one type of blade, designed primarily for wet foods, and do a poor job when it comes to your dry foods. If wet foods are blended first, you have to wait until the blades are clean and dry to switch to dry foods. The Personal Blender model PB-200 comes with both a wet food Blending Assembly, and a dry foods Grinding Assembly, which means you don’t have to wait for the blades to dry when switching in from wet to dry foods.

The lightweight and compact design of the Personal Blender allows you to take it with you wherever you go. Pack it up in a suitcase, or leave it at your office desk for smoothies while you’re on the go. The slim body of the Personal Blender allows for easy handling on your kitchen top, and can even lifted like a martini shaker for agitation of the ingredients.

You’ll appreciate the power, versatility, and convenience that the Personal Blender will bring into your life, so order yours today.

"With the Tribest Personal blender, life’s a whole lot tastier."

Operating Guidelines

Plug the power cord into desired outlet (wall or inverter).
Fill the Container with desired ingredients
      Blending : at least 1/4-cup liquid for any recipe-up to 1 1/4-cup maximum liquid
      Grinding : at least 1/4-cup for any recipe-up to 1/2-cup maximum
Cover and close tightly the Blender/Grinder Blade onto Blending/Grinding Container, invert and place into Motor Base. 

Turn Blender/Grinder to fit into small notch (groove), once in place, press down. For pulsing, press down and release. For continuous use, press down and turn Blender/Grinder to the right (clockwise) until you hear a click.
Machine will stay on until you press down and turn to the left (counterclockwise). This stops the Blending/Grinding.
Lift Blender/Grinder top off and turn it onto its top side, to open the Blade unit. Pour into appropriate serving container, or drink right out of the Blender Container.
Rinse parts, and store for next use.


Cleaning and Storage

Keep your appliance ready for use on the kitchen counter.
When it is not being used, leave it unplugged.
Store blades in a convenient, safe place out of children's reach as you would with sharp knives.

All parts except the motor base are hand washable (water temperature should not exceed 104 F. To simplify cleaning, rinse blending/grinding Containers and Blades immediately after use so food does not dry on them.

When you wash the Blades by hand, do it carefully. Avoid leaving them in soapy water, where they may disappear from sight.

The Blending/Grinding Container is made of a strong and clear plastic polycarbonate with high-impact resistance. Its smooth surface will look new for years when properly maintained. Keep a sponge handy as you work and wipe spills from base. Do not use abrasive cleaners on base.

The rubber feet on the bottom of the motor base will keep the Blender from moving on most work surfaces when the machine is processing heavy loads. Clean the rubber feet regularly. When the rubber feet are dirty, the machine could move on counter. If feet leave spots on the counter, spray with spot remover and wipe with a damp sponge. If any trace of spot remains, repeat procedure and wipe the area with a damp sponge and non-abrasive cleaner.

FAQ Articles
Does the Tribest Personal Blender™ 'chop' ice?
Yes, ice is easily chopped. If you want to make a 'smoothie', add 3 or 4 ice cubes to the recipe and make it refreshingly cool. Snow cones can also be blended with just ice and a bit of fruit juice concentrate flavoring. During hot weather these recipes are a great way to cool down.

Can the Tribest Personal Blender™ grind nuts?
Yes, you can grind nuts into A NUT 'MEAL' or a Finely powdered nut. For this kind of consistency, make sure the nuts are totally dry before putting into the blender. Please note, the blender is not built to make nut butters. It will easily make pates and sauces with nuts – look in our recipe book for suggestions.

What is the maximum amount of liquid and food to put into the blender container?
The blender volume will hold 1 and 1/2 cups of liquid and solids. To avoid overflowing, stay at or under these amounts. The ratio of 1 cup of liquids and 1/2 cup of solids is recommended, or 1 cup of solids with 1/2 cup of liquids can also be blended safely.

Can the blender process flaxseeds into flax meal?
The smaller, wider based blender container is perfect for grinding flax and other small seeds. Put the seeds dry into the smaller container, using the blade that fits this blender container, and pulse or leave the blender on continuous blending for the consistency you desire. Flax, sunflower, pumpkin, and sesame seeds can easily be blended into a 'meal' or finely powdered consistency.

Does the Tribest Personal Blender™ make salad dressings?
Yes, easily. Use the ingredient ratio of liquids to solids to make sure you don't overflow - 1/2 cup liquids to 1 cup solids. If a thinner dressing is desired, add more liquids: oils, lemon juice, vinegar, or soft 'fruits' (I.e. avocado, sliced tomatoes).

How can fruit sauces be made in the Tribest Personal Blender™?
Many different kinds of fruit 'sauces' can be simply blended whether it be apple sauce, pear sauce, or peach sauce. Add half the fruit with at least 1/4 cup liquid - water or juice works well - and then blend. Add the remaining fruit to thicken the sauce. If softer fruit sauces are desired - like blueberry, raspberry, or other berries - just blend the fruit alone. No other liquid is needed as these fruits are easily "sauced."

Does the Tribest Personal Blender™ make baby food?
Yes, as many varieties as you can create from raw fruits, raw vegetables, or lightly steamed vegetables. Caution: if you are blending hot foods - use a pot holder or other protection for your hands when you take the blender off its base. The blender material does heat up - avoid burning your hands.

Is the Tribest Personal Blender™ container dishwasher safe?
Yes, the blender container can be put into a dishwasher. We recommend that you hand wash the containers and blades. This way your blender is clean and ready to use at any time. No need to wait until the dishwasher is full, cleaned, and cleared out.

Can the Tribest Personal Blender™ process hot foods?
Yes, the blender container and blade can process freshly cooked foods that are hot. However, when touching the blender container - please protect your hands with a pot holder or a thick towel. The blender container can and does heat up quickly. Avoid burning your hands.
