Tribest Corp. Launches The Personal Blender®

 

America’s First Single-Serving Blender Offers Consumers and Retailers a Healthy Outlook

 

 

Anaheim, CA (July, 2004)Tribest Corp., a leading designer of high-quality small appliances for healthy lifestyles, is introducing the Personal Blender® to the housewares and specialty retail markets. With optimum convenience in mind, this amazing, all-in-one, durable, and ultra-powerful blender allows consumers to make single servings of blended smoothies, protein drinks, salsa, baby food, soups, desserts, and other scrumptious delights without the hassle of having to stop and clean a bulky blending container every time they switch recipes.

 

Whether at home or on-the-go, consumers seeking to control and maintain their diets and healthy lifestyles now have their own affordable little helper to support their goals. The Personal Blender offers the most versatile, portable and remarkably convenient way to make single servings of nutritious blended meals and snacks in less than a minute. What’s more, unlike traditional blenders that require pouring the finished product from a heavy, bulky mixing container into drinking glasses or storage jars, consumers can blend and drink right out of the single-serving cup, so there’s less mess to clean up and no glassware or cumbersome pitcher to wash.

 

”We’re getting incredible response from retailers who carry small kitchen appliances, and even those that don’t,” says Tribest Corp. President, Jae Choi. “It’s one of those rare products that can be easily merchandized in many different retail environments, from housewares and gourmet retail outlets to nutrition and health food stores.  Giftware buyers also recognize the potential sales power of the Personal Blender, particularly with the holiday season approaching. It’s the ideal original, affordable gift item for a family member, health/diet-conscious friend, or anyone who loves smoothies and blended drinks… and who doesn’t?”  

 

The Personal Blender comes with two single-serving cups, allowing consumers to enjoy a nutritious and delicious smoothie or protein drink just the way they want it, while making a different recipe for a friend or family member in their own cup without the extra cleaning step in between. It’s amazingly simple and fast. Once the ingredients are placed inside the Personal Blender’s dishwasher-safe single-serving cup, simply screw on the stainless steel blade attachment, turn the cup over, and secure it into the base. To blend, gently press down on the top of the cup for recipes requiring pulsing or press and twist to blend continuously. Then, remove the single-serving cup from the base, turn it over, unscrew the blade attachment, and serve.  The whole blending process takes less than a minute. For added convenience, each cup comes with its own lid for easy storage or for on-the-go transporting.

 

The Personal Blender, does everything a bigger blender can do, only faster and without the added mess and clean-up. In addition to blending just about any variety of fruit or vegetable, the high-powered 200-watt motor easily blends ice and frozen fruits. It’s also perfect for making sauces, salsa, sorbets, soups and baby food. And with the stainless steel grinding blade that comes with the PB-200 model, grinding dry ingredients such as coffee beans, nuts, grains, herbs and even feisty flax sees is a snap.

 

“It’s the perfect addition to our product line”, continues Choi.  “Although our juice makers and grain mills are extremely popular, The Personal Blender is different. Its smaller than 5” diameter base, offers consumers a smart, convenient space-saving alternative to larger, more cumbersome blenders. It’s ultra lightweight, sleek design makes it easy to hold and move around the kitchen with ease, or grip and lift it like a martini shaker for increased agitation. And unlike the big, heavy containers of ordinary blenders, the Personal Blender’s single serving cups fit easily and conveniently in the refrigerator and are made of virtually unbreakable, stain- and odor-resistant polycarbonate, the same material used for making bullet-proof windows and barriers.” 

 

Tribest’s commitment to safety is clearly illustrated by the Personal Blender’s serving cup that, unlike traditional blenders, completely encloses the blending and grinding blades. In addition, the blades will not spin unless the cup is locked into its base, providing added protection from injury and other common kitchen accidents.

 

There are two Personal Blenders to choose from, the Blender Package (PB-100), or the Blender & Grinder Duo Combination (PB-200). Although both models have a powerful 200-watt motor, the PB-100 comes with two 16oz single serving cups with lids and blender blade attachment while the PB-200 includes two 16oz and two 8oz single serving cups, a blending blade attachment and an additional 2- pronged grinding blade for grinding coffee beans, nuts, seeds and more. Both models come with an easy to read instruction manual and more than 30 recipe suggestions. For extra on-the-go convenience, commuter sipping lids and a handsome carrying protective case that can hold the entire Personal Blender Set are also available.
