Best portable blender 2022: tested by our appliance experts
(Image credit: Blendjet 2)
Portable blenders – AKA personal blenders – are a perfect buy if you love to blend and drink on the go, tend to make single-serve portions, or if you have a smaller household and don't need a full-size appliance.
We've tested the best personal blenders, including corded and cordless models, for everything from power to portability, blending function and ease of cleaning, putting them through their paces for everything from smoothies to salsas to ensure we can report back meticulously on performance, weight and ease of use.
Heftier choices are typically more powerful, though the Cuisinart EvolutionX Cordless Blender is our top choice; it packs in a lot of power in a small device. More on that, just below.
And while the on-the-go, take it to the gym portability is the main reason you might want to buy a portable blender, don't think these compact wonders can't do everything the bigger traditional best blenders can. Most personal blenders can take on the same blending tasks, just in smaller quantities, which might just suit you perfectly.

Can't use when plugged in
Why you should buy it: Long-lasting rechargeable battery; crushes ice and frozen berries with ease.
Powerful blending
Our reviewer Lindsey, H&G's Director of Home Ecomms, was pleasantly surprised by how well the Cuisinart EvolutionX tackled the trickiest of ingredients, including ice and frozen fruits. 'You may have to make sure frozen ingredients are prepped in smaller pieces; a standard-sized ice cube posed no problems, but anything slightly bigger will get stuck between the blade and the side of the cup, as I realized when trying to blend half a frozen banana,' she reports.
Ease of use
Using the blender couldn’t be easier: everything goes into the 16-ounce cup, then you press the button to activate the single-speed motor until you’ve got your desired mix. It also comes with a travel lid to drink straight out of the container.
Battery life
The battery lasts for up to 20 minutes, which was more than enough to prep multiple smoothies, as well as salsas or pastes, or use over a period of time without recharging.
'My main gripe is that it won't work when it's plugged in, so make sure it's topped up on power if you plan on using it at home,' says Lindsey.

Doesn’t handle dry foods
Why you should buy it: Powerful 1100W motor, larger blending capacity than smaller models; best for home-only use.
Powerful blending
The sheer power of the Ninja Nutri Blender Pro with Auto-IQ puts it above some countertop blenders and gives you a bit more flexibility with the ingredients that you can tackle. The blender handled soft fruits with ease, but add tougher fruits or even frozen ingredients and you can see what the 1100W motor is really for: here, you get similar smooth results as you’d expect from a much larger blender. Although it can handle dry ingredients, the Nutri Pro didn’t do a particularly good job, with uneven chopping and blending.
Ease of use
This single-speed blender is also really easy to use: everything gets loaded into a cup, then you press down to engage the motor. It features the same Auto-iQ programming found in its countertop blenders, like the Ninja Professional Plus Kitchen System, to take the guesswork out of blending. There are travel lids for the included 18oz and 24oz cups, and everything (including the blades) can go in the dishwasher.
Best for home use
This model is corded, and the base is chunky too, but you do get greater capacity and a powerful blend. This, we think, makes it a good middle ground for any of you who don't have space for or need a bulky traditional blender, or who want one for their RV. It's not one you're going to take to the gym, which is why it's number two on our list.
We're big fans of the Ninja brand and this portable blender is on our testing wait list; it makes this list because we've previously reviewed the earlier Nutri Pro model, which has 900W of power; this one has even more to offer, and 96% of independent, verified users on Amazon recommend it

Struggles with tough ingredients
Why you should buy it: Versatile – the pulse mode means you can make chunky dips, too.
Pulse mode
While this portable blender is a handy on-the-go buy, the fact that there's a blending mode and pulse setting means you can use it at home to make dips, and power through thicker ingredients. 'This is useful if you've been browsing the best food processors but can't afford the space or budget to buy one – this personal blender can step into some of those functions,' says Millie, our Head of Reviews, who tested this portable blender.
Great blending
Millie used the BlendJet 2 to make a fresh fruit smoothie. 'While it struggled a bit with tougher ingredients like the core of berries, overall it did an impressive job,' she reports. 'And because it's cordless, you can shake it when blending to make sure that ingredients for dips are incorporated. This came in very useful when I made pesto from scratch.'
Ease of cleaning
There's an in-built blade that isn't removable, so you will have to drink out of the blending cup or pour your drink out.
Cleaning is easy: just pour in some water and dish soap and run a blending cycle, or shake.

Can't blend ice
Why you should buy it: Lightweight; long-lasting battery; supremely portable.
Portability
Not only is it seriously lightweight (only 1.
5lbs) but the NutriBullet GO Portable Blender also has a clever two-part design that means you can carry around the bottle, full of fruits or protein shakes, and the blending unit separately. If you're wondering which Nutribullet to buy, this is your best portable bet.
Power
Our tester, H&G's Reviews Editor Millie Hurst found that it was capable of blending fresh fruits with ease, but struggled with ice cubes due to its limited power. 'For shakes and smoothies, however, this is a great-value portable blender,' she reports. It's worth noting that the Nutribullet GO won't blend unless it is attached securely to the base, which is a good safety measure to prevent any mishaps. It switches off automatically after a 30-second blend, so when we did need to blend for a longer period of time, we'd have to start a new cycle.
Quiet operation
If you are up and out early like Millie, you'll appreciate how quiet this personal blender runs.
'Your family won't hear you blending early in the morning, nor will it disturb colleagues if you use it at work, it's super quiet,' says Millie.

Why you should buy it: Powerful enough for ice-crushing; very fast; short charge time, good battery life.
Powerful ice crushing
'Though we don't have a review of this blender written up yet, I've owned one myself and can tell you that the BlenderX Cordless Portable Blender outperformed the other portable blenders when it came to ice crushing,' says H&G's Reviews Editor Millie Fender. 'Great if you love a frozen smoothie. I also and we like that it comes with a larger 20. oz plastic cup.'
Simple to use
'It's very easy to use, a case of simply screwing onto the plastic cup to start blending,' says Millie. 'The singular front button glows when charging, and when the blender is turned on. There is a screw-on cap that keeps your blades protected when not in use.'
Best for home/RV use
'My main issue was the weight of this portable blender because the base is hefty,' says Millie. 'It weighs 4.62 pounds in total, and this is why it sits at number five. However, it does comes with a carry bag and suction cups to keep the base attached to your counter, so I think it's perfectly suited for use in RVs or camping trips.
For taking in your handbag though, it's maybe a little weighty.'

How we picked the best portable blenders
(Image credit: Future)
How we test blenders is something we're proud of. Our on-staff reviews team tests in both our test kitchen and in their own homes, and not just over the course of a day, but over weeks. Often, we're lucky enough to keep the products, which means we can continually update our buying guides with comments about longevity.
For this portable blender guide, we first tried blending smoothies. We tried a mix of frozen and fresh fruits, mixed with regular or nut milk, and a drizzle of honey.
If the blender has an automatic shutoff we made a note of how many tries it took to get the smoothie to the perfect consistency.
We also tried making pesto in our portable blenders, which allowed us to see how they handled less wet ingredients. This also helped us see if any odors would remain inside the blending cup after use.
Finally, we made crushed ice to see if the blenders could handle a few ice cubes. This is a big challenge for a portable blender, but some surprised us with how well they did.
We tested both corded and cordless personal blenders because while a cordless blender is rarely as powerful as a corded one, the very best can manage what most of us want from them: well-blended smoothies we can make on-the-go.

How to choose a portable blender?
(Image credit: Nutribullet GO)
Portable blenders (also known as travel or personal blenders) are typically designed to make smoothies directly into travel mugs. They’re built for quick, grab-and-go operation, and are designed to be easier and quicker to use than their full-sized models.
There are lots of different models and no right choice, as it depends on how you want to use the blender.
If you travel a lot and want a blender that you can throw in your luggage, then size is all-important. Look for a smaller, lighter blender, even if you have to compromise on a smaller travel mug as a result.
If you’re going camping a lot and won’t have power, then look for a battery-powered model that you can pre-charge and use when you’re out.
Smaller blenders tend to have lower-powered motors, so will work well with soft fruits and for making most smoothies, but you’ll find they struggle with (or can’t handle) ice or frozen ingredients.
If you mostly make smoothies at home, then you can get a model with a bigger base and a larger motor. With a bigger motor, you’ll be able to make a wider variety of drinks.
For home use, you may find it useful to get a blender with different accessories, such as a chopping bowl for preparing ingredients for cooking, or a grinder for dealing with spices.
How much does a portable blender cost?
(Image credit: Cuisinart)
As they’re smaller and aren’t as powerful as full-size blenders, prices are much lower. An entry-level blender should cost under $50, and give you basic smoothie making with softer fruits.
At the high-end, you can spend up to $150 on a model with more accessories and more powerful motors to give you more flexibility.
Is a portable blender as good as a full-size blender?
A portable blender is different from a full-size one. Most portable models are designed to be quick and easy to use, with one-button operation and single-speed motors. They’re typically as good as large models for smoothies.
Travel blenders are generally quite limited, though: you can make smaller quantities, they’re not built to run for as long, and they don’t have the controls of a full-size model.
You usually can’t use hot liquids in personal blenders, either, as the travel cups are made from plastic that could be damaged by the heat.
If you want to vary what you can make, and have more control over the process, a full-size blender makes sense and, as our guide showed, you can always add a travel cup to your model to give you that blend-and-go convenience.
What are after-Christmas sales?
After-Christmas are a sales period after Christmas. You'll see thousands of products like portable blenders on markdown, saving you money as we head into the New Year.
The reason is that big department stores buy in lots of extra stock in the runup to Christmas so that they don’t sell out over the holidays. Of course, this huge demand drops after Christmas however, so they've got lots of unsold merchandise that costs money to store. To combat this, retailers drop their prices so that they can reduce their storage costs and while still turning a profit. This means it’s a great time to shop, because prices are lower than usual, which ultimately saves you money.
When do after Christmas sales start?
There's holiday sales happening right now, but the main action will happen from the 26th.
Expect to see flash sales on specific products between the 26th-1st, and sitewide promotions from the 1st of January.

BlendJet 2 blender review: great for active lifestlyes
The BlendJet 2 is a lightweight blender that's designed to take on the go. Unlike family-sized alternatives that need to be plugged in to work, you can take the BlendJet 2 with you to the office, to the gym, or even on a road trip. It's not designed to be used with hot ingredients, so it won't replace a regular countertop blender, but given its low price and smart design, it would fit well into many people's daily routines.
We reviewed the BlendJet 2 for a week, using it to make protein shakes and fruity smoothies from scratch. BlendJet makes a line of powdered smoothies and protein powder smoothies, which we also tried when testing. Although it's not one of the best blenders on the market for versatility, it's certainly a contender for one of the best portable blenders you can use to travel.

BlendJet 2 review: specs
(Image credit: Blendjet)
- Colors: countless
- Type: portable blender
- Weight: 1.
34lb - Capacity: 16 fl. oz
- Speed settings: 1
- Material: plastic
- Dimensions: 9” L x 3” W
- Motor: 5V
Setting up the BlendJet 2
(Image credit: Future)
Setting up the BlendJet 2 was very easy. BlendJet sent me a selection of smoothie packs, a portable sleeve, and a recipe book alongside the classic blender in a fun purple shade. The blendjet was fully assembled in the box, and you will never need to remove the blending cup from the blades as these are attached permanently. All you do is unscrew the lid, add your ingredients, screw it back on, and press to start blending.
I also reviewed the NutriBullet Go, which is a similar style portable blender, but comes with a removable base and a carry cup. I did enjoy being able to remove the blades, but this comes with the issue of having to store them safely, so the BlendJet 2 avoids this altogether.
(Image credit: Future)
The lid has a carry handle attached, and the internal capacity is 16 ounces, which is enough for a single drink.
To charge the BlendJet 2 you simply use the included USB-C cable and leave it for an hour. The battery claims to last 15+ blending cycles, but I'd say it lasted closer to 10 cycles when I tested it. Still, for a short charge time, that's not too bad.
(Image credit: Blendjet)
While there is one button, there are two ways to use the BlendJet 2. You can either simply press the button to run a blending cycle, or hold the button down to activate a pulsing mode. While it's mainly designed to make drinks, the pulsing mode will be useful for making dips or crushing ice, where it's useful to shake up the blender or pulse to reach different ingredients.
Making protein shakes in the BlendJet 2
Seeing as BlendJet sells protein drinks, it's clearly designed to be used to make powdered drinks on the go. I think this is one of the main sells of the product – if you like to go to the gym before heading to the office, or you enjoy making meal replacement shakes while away from home, the BlendJet 2 is designed to make this process easier than ever.
Plus, it's actually a lot smaller than a protein shake bottle.
Before blending the berry protein shake
(Image credit: Future)
I used the Very Berry protein shake with the BlendJet 2. It was advised to add 10oz of milk to the blender before pouring in the powder. I then screwed on the lid and pressed to start blending.
In about 20 seconds, I was left with a very delicious drink. It tasted like a fruit crumble, with hints of vanilla. The texture was a little grainy, but as I'm not a regular protein shake drinker, it's hard to know if this is something you'll find with any protein shake. Nonetheless, the taste was delicious, and I also enjoyed the peanut flavor and the strawberry banana.

Making fruit smoothie in the BlendJet 2
I couldn't test the BlendJet 2 without seeing how it handled berries. Although they're common ingredients in a smoothie, they can be tricky to blend, especially as I buy mine frozen.
Blueberries often have stubborn skin, strawberries have tough cores, and my hand-carved honeydew melon had some remnants of skin on the outside. While these are a challenge to a blender, a good one will be able to leave you with a creamy consistency after blending for a minute or so.
(Image credit: Future)
I topped my strawberry, blueberry and melon with some nut milk and screwed the lid on. The lid never came loose, and I enjoy the handle, which is plastic and sturdy-feeling.
When I was ready to blend, I simply pressed the blend button and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the BlendJet 2 was able to circulate all of the ingredients in the cup to evenly blend every piece of fruit.
In the BlendJet recipe book it is advised to blend some drinks twice, so I let it blend for another 20 seconds to make sure I gave the blender a fair chance.
(Image credit: Future)
The finished drink was a purple color, and while there were some larger specs of blueberry skin floating around, it seemed quite smooth.
I was impressed that just 40 seconds of blending in a relatively small device could achieve that, but when I poured my drink out I did notice a few chunks of strawberry core that the blender hadn't been able to pulverize.
(Image credit: Future)
Using the pulse function in the BlendJet 2
The BlendJet 2 claims to be able to make dips and crush nuts, which I was quite skeptical about. I tend to rely on the best food processors to make my dips, but I wanted to try a fresh rocket pesto to see if the BlendJet could handle more dry mixes.
I added some olive oil, rocket, basil, garlic, parmesan, and walnuts to the blending cup and double pressed the blender button to activate the pulse mode.
(Image credit: Future)
I pulsed for a few seconds, and found that the rocket was blended easily with the oil. When it came to the walnuts, they didn't come close to the blades, so I followed the advice in the recipe book and shook it up.
Because it's cordless, the blender is very easy to shake.
It did make life easier, and while it won't be replacing my regular method any time soon, the BlendJet 2 did do a decent job of evenly chopping my pesto.
(Image credit: Future)
I was left with a rough consistency, which I enjoy with my pesto, and there were no chunks of nut or parmesan left un-blended.
I did encounter an issue when scooping the pesto out of the blender and into a pot. Because the blades cannot be removed, it was hard to get all of the pesto out with a spoon. Some was wedged underneath the blades, so I wasn't able to get all of it out, which was a bit of a waste of sauce.
(Image credit: Future)
Cleaning the BlendJet 2
No portable blender is dishwasher-safe. Besides, if you're on the go, you're unlikely to come across one. Thankfully, they are very easy to clean by hand. With the BlendJet 2, you can add some water and a drop of dish soap to the cup, screw the lid on, and run a blend cycle to clean away any residue.
I also found that shaking the BlendJet 2 was just as effective.
The only issue I had was when making pesto, because garlic and oil can leave an odor and residue. It's hard to reach in and under the blades to clean every part of the blender, but I used a scrubbing brush to remove the oily residue.
The blender after a cleaning cycle
(Image credit: Future)
When it came to cleaning, my main concern was making sure that I didn't get the charging port wet as I left it to dry. Because it's not covered, it would be easy to get water into the port and potentially damage the blender.
Should you buy the BlendJet 2?
(Image credit: Blendjet)
I didn't have the highest hopes for the BlendJet 2, but it's actually quite a handy little blender to have in your kitchen or gym bag. It's quick to charge and blend, and can even act as a food chopper in the absence of a processor or pestle and mortar. I did encounter a few issues in removing more solid ingredients from underneath the blades, and cleaning oily residue was a bit tricky, but it's very capable when it comes to blending protein powder into a milkshake consistency, and was able to handle fresh fruit pretty well.
If you want a new portable blender to make life a bit easier, I would definitely recommend the BlendJet. It's not the most versatile or largest blender you'll find, so I don't think it could replace a bullet blender in your kitchen, but it will suit people with active lifestyles very well.

What is a portable blender?
The essence of the portable blender lies in its name - the device can be carried with you.
This may apply to the entire device or only its removable bowl. Usually it is a bottle or glass. It is convenient to mix the necessary ingredients in a container, close the lid and take it with you on the road, to training, classes. nine0003
The motor can be located in a separate base unit or in the instrument cover. Knives are installed in the bowl itself, built into the lid or are a screw nozzle - after cooking it is replaced with a simple lid.
Differences between a portable blender and other typesWhat is the difference between a portable blender and a stationary and immersion blender?
Some portable blenders are similar in design to stationary models, with a motorized base and bowl-mounted knife attachment. The main difference lies in the compact size and minimum weight, battery operation (not all models). nine0003
Compared to a submersible blender, the portable blender is more compact and always comes with a bowl. Often the device does not need to be kept on weight - just turn it on and wait for automatic shutdown.
Portable blenders are also less powerful than most submersible and stationary blenders. Typically, the appliance is designed to prepare drinks, although many models can handle solid foods such as nuts and even ice.

Advantages and disadvantages of portable blenders
Like any other kitchen appliance, portable blenders are not without advantages and disadvantages. You should get to know each of them.
Pros:
- Portable - easy to carry the entire device or bottle.
- Compact to carry and store.
- Light weight.
- Most models are battery operated so you can use the instrument anywhere and anytime. nine0006
Cons:
- Some models only have enough charge for a short time.
- Low power, which limits the products that can be processed.
How to choose a good portable blender?
Most portable blenders are battery operated. It is worth paying attention to its capacity (the best option is 1700-2000 mAh), since it determines how many servings of the drink can be prepared on a single charge. Usually indicate just such a performance, and not the operating time. nine0003
Basic selection criteria for a compact blender:
- Power . Portable blenders usually have low power. For the processing of soft products, 50-60 W is enough, for hard products, at least 100 W is better.
- Blade speed . Directly depends on the power of the motor. The higher it is, the faster and better grinding. If you plan to process products of different consistency, then you should choose a device with several speed modes. Some models have a turbo mode for short grinding at maximum speed. This feature allows you to achieve a minimum grinding or airy consistency.
nine0006 - Materials . The bowl of portable blenders is usually made of plastic. It is important that the material is food grade, as it will have direct contact with food. In some models, the bowl is made of glass. It is more environmentally friendly, does not absorb odors and is easy to clean, but is often heavier and more fragile. The material from which the knives are made is also important. Best stainless steel. It is resistant to a humid environment, mechanical damage, aggressive agents.
- Additional criteria . When choosing an immersion blender, the following points are also important:
Usable volume - affects the serving size of the finished drink.
Number of knives - usually 2-4, rarely 6, the more, the faster and better grinding, more uniform mixing.
Additional bottle/glass included – handy when you have little time and need to quickly prepare a new portion of the drink or need several servings.

Carry strap .

Automatic switch-off .
Protection against accidental activation, overload, misassembly .
