The Mueller UltraBullet Single Serve Personal Blender, Model PB-2200, is a compact and efficient appliance designed for household use, specifically for processing foods for human consumption. Its primary function is blending, making it ideal for shakes, smoothies, juices, and even as an ice crusher.
Function Description:
The UltraBullet blender operates by using a motor base to power sharp blades within a blending jar. Users can add ingredients to the blending jar, secure it to the motor base, and then activate the blending process by pressing and holding the "PULSE" power button. The design emphasizes single-serve portions, making it convenient for individual use. The blender is capable of creating creamy textures for smoothies and shakes, and it can also crush ice when used according to the recommended guidelines.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Model: PB-2200
- Voltage: 120 VAC
- Frequency: 60 Hz
- Wattage: 180 W
- Blending Jar Capacity: Maximum 15.2 oz / 450 ml
- Materials: All parts are BPA-free.

Usage Features:
- Simple Operation: The blender features a single "PULSE" button for straightforward control. Blending occurs as long as the button is pressed and held, stopping when released.
- Safety Lock Mechanism: For safety, the blender will not operate unless the blending jar is securely locked into place on the base, indicated by aligning the "Lock" icon with the alignment mark on the base.
- Overheating Protection: To prevent motor overheating, continuous operation is limited to 1 minute at a time, followed by a recommended 3-minute cooling period.
- Ingredient Order for Optimal Blending: For even blending, it is recommended to add liquid ingredients first, followed by solid ingredients (lightest to heaviest), unless a recipe specifies otherwise. This helps prevent ingredients from getting caught in the blades.
- Frozen Ingredient Handling: When using frozen ingredients, a mixture of fresh and frozen items is suggested to ensure a smoother blend and prevent clogging.
- Ice Crushing Capability: The blender can crush ice, with specific recommendations for ice cube sizes and quantities to ensure optimal performance and prevent damage. For example, it can handle 5 pieces of 0.8 x 0.8 inch (2 x 2 cm) ice cubes, 4 pieces of 1 x 1 inch (2.5 x 2.5 cm) ice cubes, or 2 pieces of 1 x 1.4 inch (2.5 x 3.5 cm) ice cubes.
- Direct Drinking from Jar: The blending jar is designed to be used as a drinking cup. After blending, users can slide back the spout cover on the lid to drink directly from the jar. It is crucial to use the lid when drinking directly from the blending jar.
- Recipe Versatility: The manual provides various recipes for smoothies (Classic Green, Berry-Banana, Energy Lift, Breakfast Berry, Peanut Butter & Jelly), shakes (Vanilla, Strawberry, Chocolate, Cookies and Cream, Peanut Butter Chocolate Protein), and juices (Fruit & Green Tea, Classic Green, Apple, Carrot Apple, Citrus Spinach), showcasing the blender's versatility.
- Limitations:
- Not designed for blending hot food or liquids, as this can damage the unit and cause injury.
- The blending jar should not be placed in the freezer when filled with food or liquid, as freezing can cause expansion and damage.
- No part of the blender should be placed in a microwave oven.
- Avoid operating the blender with an empty blending jar, as this can damage the motor.
- Do not overfill the blending jar beyond the MAX line.
- Not suitable for processing whole spices, coffee beans, hard cheeses, nuts and nutshells, tough seeds, crackers, or meats, as these can affect service life and cause damage or injury.
Maintenance Features:
- Easy Cleaning: The lid and blending jar can be washed in warm, soapy water. The motor base can be wiped with a damp cloth or sponge.
- Quick Clean-up Method: For quick cleaning, fill the blending jar one-quarter full with clean, warm water and blend several times, then rinse and dry.
- Blade Handling: Blades are very sharp and must be handled with extreme care, especially during cleaning. It is important not to disassemble the blades from the blending jar.
- Storage: The unit should be unplugged and cleaned before storage. The power cord can be wound back into its storage compartment around the base. Store the blender in its original box or a clean, dry place, ensuring it is not hot or plugged in. Avoid wrapping the cord tightly around the appliance to prevent fraying or breakage.
- Prohibited Cleaning Methods: Do not immerse the motor base in water or other liquids. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on any parts of the product. The blending jar and lid are not dishwasher safe.
- Inspection: Before each use, check the blending jar for foreign objects and ensure there are no broken, chipped, or cracked parts, including the cutting blades.
