I thought my blender was broken. I charged it for almost 8 hrs last night first with the wrong plugin I use a fast speed plugin (Don't do that). It will just get warm. Then I used a regular slow plugin and it took 1 hr to charge fully. So I cleaned it I added my liquid some ice and fruits. It worked for approximately 20 seconds. I was like what the heck it flashes blue then repeatedly flashed blue. My smoothie was literally half way done. Mind you I didn't read the directions I didn't know it had an off and on button I just thought the button was an on button so I just kept clicking until my smoothie was done. After I washed it dried it. I thought maybe I had to much stuff in it so I blended just water. It still flashed blue then blinking red. I put it on the charger just in case it was a low battery. It wasn't fully charged of course it was showing a full red light (not blinking). It took 45 minutes to turn green. So I tested it out again I mixed teami skinny coffee with 1 ice cube and water. This time I knew it had an off and on button lol so I clicked it on. It worked just as it was supposed to for 40 seconds. The base of the blenders got just barely warm but it's perfectly fine. I like it I can just use it for a mixer or something. I think Maybe people are expecting way to much out of this machine like I did at first. Let it charge even if it's takes a whole day be patient the next time you charge it it won't take so long. Also like I said it doesn't work for me blending fruits but it's perfectly fine using it if you want to have it for I don't know more of a liquid type of content you know. I hope this helps everyone. Thank you teami this mixers cute and still useful to me .
