Temu Portable Blender (2024)

FAQs

Does a portable blender work? ›

While the best models can make a pretty good smoothie even if you add difficult ingredients like ice cubes and kale, they aren't very powerful and can't match the performance of conventional blenders. We've tested more than 110 blenders, and below are our recommendations for the best portable blenders for most people.

OBERLY Portable Blender: Get a ton of nutrients with little time and effort. Easy to crush ice, frozen fruit, leafy greens and more into smoothies.

If you will most often be using your blender to make smoothies with ice or frozen fruit, you'll need one with a serious motor. Look for a blender with at least 1,000 watts and preferably more. But keep in mind that higher wattage generally means a higher price.

While other smaller sized, personal blenders tend to need a bit more elbow grease and patience to truly liquify their contents, the Mini Beast is surprisingly efficient thanks to its 600 watt motor and one-button control panel, so that even when faced with my sticky go-to morning smoothie, a combination of coconut oil, ...

Cons: Knowing the Limits

Their smaller size means they can't handle large batches as effectively as a countertop blender. While some models with chopper attachments can tackle light chopping tasks, they're not designed to pulverize tough, fibrous ingredients or frozen foods.

Designed for on-the-go use, portable blenders have a lot in common with standard personal blenders—the main difference is that they're battery-powered. They also tend to be less powerful, which is why this Cuisinart EvolutionX impressed me so much during testing.

The average lifespan for a personal blender is about 5 years, and the best thing you can do to maintain your machine's longevity is to thoroughly clean it according to the manufacturer's instructions every time you use it.

The Cuisinart EvolutionX Cordless Blender is one of the portable blenders we've reviewed that can crush ice. Be mindful, though, that this is not a universal feature across all portable blender models. A less powerful motor won't cope with ice although it handles blending and puréeing fruit and vegetables fine.

While traditional blenders have a large jug with a lid that sits on top of the base, single-serve NutriBullets have a cup which locks into the base to activate the blender. Basic models only have one speed and no buttons or controls, making them simple to operate.

What is better than the BlendJet 2? ›

Side-by-Side Comparison

The Ninja Blast is a bit better than the BlendJet 2. It's sturdier and quieter and makes a smoother blend with fibrous ingredients like leafy greens, which is important for well-blended smoothies. However, the BlendJet 2 is much easier to clean by hand.

TechRadar Verdict

The Nutribullet Magic Bullet Portable Blender is great for anyone needing a lightweight, portable way to make quick smoothies and drinks on the go. It's compact, charges via USB-C, comes in a range of colors and it's affordable, too.

Portable blenders allow you to blend when you are ready to consume, ensuring the smoothest texture. With the portable blender, drinks can be mixed and consumed in the same leakproof container. These small appliances are inexpensive, making them accessible to almost everyone.

Nutribullet: Which brand should you buy? Ninja blenders are better for most people since they don't have any restrictions around ice crushing, and you can put the blades in your dishwasher. NutriBullet blenders are better for people who want a quieter machine.

Blenders are allowed in carry-on bags if the blade has been removed. Any sharp objects in checked bags should be sheathed or securely wrapped to prevent injury to baggage handlers and inspectors.

See And Taste The Difference

It will still keep much longer than traditionally blended recipes in any normal sealed container if you fill it enough to exclude air at the lid. With side by side taste comparisons it is immediately noticeable that the results from a vacuum blender are superior.

Also called a hand blender, it does much of the same work as a full-sized blender — blending, emulsifying, whipping, and pureeing — without the limitations of a fixed blade. Instead, you can make soups directly in the pot, dips in your serving bowl, and smoothies in a travel-friendly tumbler.
