The mouth of the jar is narrow, making it pleasant to drink from but difficult to fill. Our testing found it had a battery life of about 10 minutes, time enough to blend at least 10 smoothies. (The blade still remains in the bottom of the jar.) The handle on the lid is easy to grasp. It also pulverized the almonds in our protein shake into smithereens.Īfter blending, the jar comes off the base so you don’t feel like you’re sipping from a blender. When we used these cubes and frozen fruit cut into small pieces, it created a thick, frosty smoothie and cocktail. This blender includes a tray for making mini-ice cubes.

49 pounds (cup)Ĭonsidering its low price, the PopBabies Portable Blender is surprisingly effective at blending. They’re great for making smoothies for all the kids at a campsite or frozen drinks for four at a tailgate party. The BlendJet also has optional 20- and 32-ounce jars, which are a great buy if you want to move beyond single-serve cups. A strap handle on the lid makes it easy to carry around. You can (and should!) lock the blade to prevent it from accidentally spinning while you’re drinking. When your smoothie is blended, you remove the lid and sip right from the blender. Unfortunately, they don’t contrast with the jar, so they can be difficult to read. The jar has measurement markings in both ounces and milliliters. That’s more than enough battery life to prepare drinks for a small gathering, but it’s significantly less than other models we tested. In our lab tests, the BlendJet held its charge for 6 minutes. This is handy when making salsa or chopping herbs that you don’t want to purée. You can also pulse ingredients by quickly pressing the button twice. To continue blending, you turn it on for another cycle.

Pressing the BlendJet 2’s button runs it for a 20-second cycle. We rarely found that almonds or pieces of banana got stuck beneath the blade, and it was powerful enough to create a vortex and mix things thoroughly. The powerful motor deftly handled whole nuts and full-size ice cubes. But what makes it a top pick is its excellent blending performance. Its 26 different colors and patterns range from basic black to psychedelic tie-dye. Capacity: 16 ounces (other sizes available separately)įor a small, inexpensive appliance, the BlendJet 2 has a surprisingly elegant design.

That means you can make a whole lot of smoothies or daiquiris on a single charge. The Evolution X can blend for 22 minutes without losing power, and takes about a minute to whiz a single drink. That way, you can enjoy your drink on the go without feeling like you’re drinking out of a blender jar. If you’re making pesto or chopping walnuts, you can pulse the blender by pressing the button on and off.Īfter you finish blending, you remove the blender cup from the bladed base and add a non-spill travel lid. You’ll need to keep watch and stop the blender when it looks like everything is thoroughly blended. When you turn it on, it keeps running until you stop it. Unlike others we tested, the Evolution X doesn’t have a timed cycle. There were no stray bits of fruit, or even of the full-sized ice in our cocktail. It quickly, easily blended everything from our basic test smoothie to a piña colada. Its sleek packaging reflects the powerful model inside. The Cuisinart Evolution X Cordless Compact Blender is more substantial and a bit pricier than others we tested. Dishwasher safe parts: Yes, top rack only.
