BlenderBottle Shaker Bottle Pro Series Perfect for Protein Shakes and Pre Workout, 24-Ounce, Black

The shaker blends powder well with water, but requires more shaking when using milk. 4 stars because its a little difficult to clean by hand. Its also slightly difficult to dry by hand because of the narrow size. I have to air-dry it, so I dont get to use it everyday due to the cleaning and air-drying process.

If you could rate the product design it would earn 5 stars in that category. I love how they implemented feedback from customers with small tweaks to the Pro model, and its reasonably quiet when shaking. The blender ball is a little springy which reduces wear and makes it no noisier than a few ice cubes floating around. Otherwise, this is the quintessential 4-star product. Everything is great but not perfect. The plastic is slightly on the thin side; both the cup and lid have a little give when you squeeze them which concerns me about how the seal will hold up over time. Make sure to stick to the top rack if you have a dishwasher since I guarantee itll warp at high heat. You have to twist and snap both lids on tight to avoid any leakage, and I feel like I could break that flip top if Im not careful. They do warn that its not meant to hold hot drinks, and heat or CO² pressure could pop the lid open on you if it isnt on tight. Be careful opening it, but it seems pretty secure, especially when used as directed, theyre just making sure they dont get sued when some idiot shakes a coffee and blows their face off with it. The cup is almost totally smooth and has no detectable odor, but dont treat it like some kind of antibacterial space cup like they want you to think. The lid has a bunch of micro scratches after the first wash, and retains a bit of powdered drink smell even after thoroughly rinsing with warm water after drinking, so you should still at least do that if not wash it every single time you use it. The indented sides make it still fairly easy to hold despite the smooth texture, unless you have very small hands. The underside of the lid could be a bit smoother for cleaning (I wish theyd find a better place for those odd little serial numbers that will harbor bacteria) but at least its easy to clean: Just a little soap in there, put the lid on, shake and rinse, but keep your finger on the lid and open it into the sink due to the aforementioned pressure thing. But pressure means its not leaking, and overall this shaker cup is packed with features and feels like a steal at the $10 I paid. For that price you cant go wrong. If it were any better itd probably cost more, and for powdered drinks it sure beats the big kid sippy cups you get from G-Fuel and the $30 leak monster Razer sells for Respawn. I just wish they would come out with some hip designs, put some video game logos on there for the cool kids. The measurements on the side could use some highlights at least because the darker colors can be hard to read in dim lighting. At the end of the day, even though it isnt perfect, I still want another one in the small size for everyday use. The middle one feels like the perfect size unless you spend all day at the gym or hiking. Enough for more than one serving of just about any type of blend. Best shaker cup Ive owned.

Fits in a cup holder and does what blender bottles do. -1 star because the lid can be finicky to snap shut

After a year of use the lid of the bottle cracked near the back. I used it on weekdays for just over a year before the lid cracked and started leaking. I hand washed it every time so using a dishwasher might make this happen sooner.

Everything is fine with the bottle except that its really hard to close the cap you drink from. I added my protein powder to it but when I got to the gym it had spilled everywhere in my bag. Its not an easy cap to snap on. You really have to push hard and when you do sometimes it doesnt close properly. Imagine if I had added liquid and started shaking!

The cap is really tight and opening it or closing it is a very difficult task. I couldnt return it on time and its real bummer. Wouldnt recomment it if you get the same tight cap

They work really well which isn’t really a big deal but it’s a little hard to close the top .

I own several types of Blender Bottles and use them daily for protein shakes and water in general. For the latter, I prefer using the blender bottle over other re-useable bottled water since its way easier to clean as you dont have to use any long bottle and/or straw brush, or do the shaking method with soap. Everything can cleaned and easy to wiped down with just your hands without any obstructions. Now lets compare this to the Classic 28 oz BlenderBottle. -4 more ounces. 4oz is not much, but with the other new features, its worth the upgrade (assuming both are not on sale and at MSRP). Note that the fill line is at 26oz, but can carry 32oz. This basically caters to those who drink protein powered beverages as the powder adds extra volume. -Blender ball. The same, still works as intended. Works way better on the Pro32 since the round base enhances mixing having the ball hit a curved surface as oppose to a flat one means less shakes for the same result. -Spout Guard. Has a larger thumb groove for easier access, especially if your thumbs/hands are sweaty -Adjustable carry loop. Not present in the classic, but other versions of blender bottles have them. Good to carry on your finger during transport, or attach it on your bag, backpack, etc with a carabiner accessory -Rounded base. As mentioned before, youll be making less shake repetitions when using the blenderball with powdered beverages. Also makes it easier to clean as most contents tend to flow to the center of the rounded base instead of hanging out to dry and harden on the edges. -Stain and odor resistant. If you leave out your protein drink for several days, after a through clean, the stink will not linger on for future use -More transparent. Easier to see how much fluids you have left. Good for when you go all out and your vision is somewhat shot. Overall, this is basically the best core blenderbottle you can get. Would even be a better idea if they discontinued the rest of the line* to clear customer confusion on what to choose from. *Except maybe the the 20oz line (but add the rounded base) for those who want a more compact blenderbottle --Possible future enhancements I would like to see: -Insulated yet still see through and easy to clean -Finger grooves for better grip -Powder/pill attachment case attachment on bottom. Have seen this in a variant of the 20oz bottle, would be great if they carried it over to the Pro32

The new shape at the bottom of bottle makes it easier to blend. Super duper.
