This is the only blender I found with BPA free components which was important to me, however the Big Boss blender definitely blends better. I used the Big Boss blender daily for about 6 months before I bought the Tribest which I've now used daily for 2 months, so I've written a few comparison points for anyone shopping around.The Tribest 200 watt motor doesn't blend quite as well as the Big Boss 300 watt motor. There are always 1-2 big frozen fruit chunks in my smoothies, which I've learned to live with. No matter how many 30 second blending sessions I run, I can't seem to make the chunks blend away. (My smoothies consist of a fresh banana, frozen fruit (such as peaches, pineapple, mango, blueberries, strawberries, etc.), milk, and protein powder.)The Tribest you're only supposed to run for 30 seconds at a time, and since the motor is weaker I usually have to do 2-3 30 second sessions. The Big Boss you can run for 60 seconds at a time, which was almost always more than enough.The Tribest cups are BPA free (yay!) but are pretty narrow. I can luckily reach my hands inside to clean, but my boyfriend isn't able to. They are dishwasher safe, but I usually just hand wash. The Big Boss cups are wider and easier to clean by hand.The Tribest cups stay remarkably clean and clear looking which I think has something to do with the material. They also feel super sturdy; the manual claims you can bang them against the counter without doing any harm. The Big Boss cups were always cloudy for some reason and feel less sturdy.Overall, I am happy with the Tribest, primarily because of the BPA cups. If that's not a concern for you, I would suggest getting a blender with a more powerful motor.
