Pros
Cons

When it comes to making single-serve smoothies and protein shakes, you can't beat the Oster My Blend personal blender. Everything — fruit, ice, veggies and more — can be blended directly in the sports bottle, so there are no extra dishes to wash. Despite a lower wattage, in tests the machine received a perfect score for grinding whole coffee beans and a great score for preparing a thick frozen margarita. Just don't expect the 250 watt machine to tackle tougher foods, like hearty leafy greens.

To use, simply fill the jar, twist on to blend, then replace the blade with the portable lid. You can even toss the finished product into your bag, since the cup's tight-fitting lid has a strong seal that won't leak even when turned upside down.

Pros
Cons

Though it's the most affordable pick on the list, this personal blender holds its own. In tests, the 175 watt motor was able to make a super smooth and creamy milkshake, but was less effective when faced with firm ingredients, such as coffee beans or ice cubes. Markings on the cup are extra helpful for quick and easy prep, as there's no need to dirty any measuring cups or spoons in the process.

Not only is the 14-ounce cup easy to transport, thanks to a tapered design that fits well in cup holders, but the entire blender is easy to transport to work or on a trip because it’s very lightweight (2.25 pounds) and compact (3.94 x 3.94 x 11.9 inches). As a bonus, the cord wraps tightly around the base for easy storage.

Pros
Cons

The Beast Blender is a personal blender that lets you crush ice; blend small batches of dressings, sauces and soups; and create one to three servings (depending on vessel size) of drinks like smoothies, shakes and margaritas. To help with blending efficiency, the Beast Blender’s ultra thick Tritan plastic vessels feature a 12-rib design (for comparison, most blenders have about four ribs within a blender jar). Did we mention this blender also looks like a piece of art on your countertop with its unique design?

In Lab testing, we found the blender to be easy to use with powerful performance thanks to 1,000 watts of power. When we blended up green smoothies, all ingredients passed through the sieve and the margaritas it produced were light and fluffy with no large ice crystals or any grit from lingering sugar. Keep in mind that this blending system is on the heavier side and not great for portability, but the blending vessels themselves are lightweight and come with lids for easy transportation.

Pros
Cons

This hardworking machine does more than whirl smoothies — it also chops salsas, mixes batters, whips eggs and grinds nuts for maximum versatility. Since the 11-piece set comes with an impressive array of extras, like three blender cups (one with a convenient handle) and multiple lids, you can make full use of all the functions without having to wash or transfer any chopped goods to other storage containers. One of the three blender cups holds 12-ounces and comes with a storage lid — perfect if you want to make a small batch of hummus or ranch dip that will travel securely to work.

While the Bullet itself doesn't take up much countertop space, testers lamented the extra storage required for all of the accessories. Only the blender cups are dishwasher-safe.

Pros
Cons

Though a bit bigger than other personal blenders, this machine is still compact enough to be included in the category. In tests, it was very good at grinding coffee beans and blending fruit smoothies. If you make smoothies frequently or regularly serve more than one to two people, the Cuisinart is a great choice: It comes with a 32-ounce jar, complete with measurement markings on the side, to make those bigger servings. You'll also get four 16-ounce portable cups with tight-fitting lids, so each person can grab theirs and go — or create their own personalized smoothie without the need to wash anything but the blade between users.

While having various cups is helpful, take note that this also requires extra storage. And the larger dimensions (10.12 x 15.75 x 10 inches) mean a larger footprint on your counter or in your cabinet.

Pros
Cons

If you prefer to have the option of both a smoothie and a smoothie bowl, then the Foodie Smoothie Bowl Maker & Nutrient Extractor is a great pick. This personal blender's jar features a built-in tamper and doesn’t need as much liquid to blend ingredients to a smooth, very thick consistency — perfect for a smoothie bowl. In our tests, this model tackled both green and berry smoothies with ease with very little residual seeds and super smooth results.

This model also suctions firmly to your counter, which keeps it completely in place for its pulse-style auto-smoothie setting. In addition to the 14-ounce smoothie bowl jar, this model comes with two 24-ounce blender jars with travel lids, which are all dishwasher-safe.

How we test personal blenders

We have tested more than 100 blenders over the years, including numerous immersion blenders and personal blenders, to find the best high-performance models. We test each with the same standardized recipes to see how they stand out among the rest. When we test personal blenders, we adjust the recipes accordingly.

To help mimic how a home consumer would use a blender, we make green smoothies, vanilla milkshakes and frozen margaritas as well as broccoli-leek soup, if the blender is equipped to blend hot ingredients. (A blender must have vents in order to safely blend hot ingredients, and you should avoid blending hot liquids in a personal blending cup, which could potentially cause burns upon opening.)

During Lab testing, we weigh the final product and strain it through a mesh sieve to evaluate whether all ingredients are blended and that each grind or puree is uniform.

Good Housekeeping/Eva Bleyer

We also evaluate how well blenders can handle hard ingredients: We grind coffee beans, and we include frozen strawberries and ice cubes in our tests.

We evaluate each machine for operation and functionality, including helpfulness of the manual and ease of use for assembling the blade parts, positioning the jar on the base, using the controls, reading markings on the jar and cleaning the blender. We also consider how loud each blender is while operating and how well it fares in the dishwasher if it's dishwasher-safe.

What to consider when shopping for a personal blender

✔️Weight: Portability is key when it comes to a quality personal blender, but usually you are only carrying around the blender cup which should be lightweight. Look for heavier blending systems (or suction cups) to ensure that your blender stays put on your counter while blending, otherwise you may have to hold it down while blending.

✔️ Jar capacity: Though our top picks include options between 12 and 32 ounces, a 16-ounce cup seem to be a sweet spot — it's big enough to hold a meal-size smoothie, but not too bulky to carry. If you like blending up anything from a small salad dressing to a large protein smoothie, many personal blenders come with a few different cup sizes to meet your various needs.

✔️ Cup style: If portability is important to you, be sure to assess cup style. Is it slim and easy to hold? Does it fit into your vehicle's cup holders? Does it have a lid that seals well? Does it have a spout or sports lid?

✔️ Wattage: Higher wattage blenders are intended to handle more difficult-to-blend foods, like ice-filled beverages. (For context, the blenders we tested ranged in wattage from 175 to 1,200.) It's important to note, though, that higher wattages don't always perform better. The shape of the cup and the ability to pulse help with blending too.

✔️ Cleanability: If you're short on time and don't feel like taking a bottle brush to your personal blender, ensure that it's dishwasher-safe.

REASONS TO BUY

Powerful motor

Waterproof

Durable

Larger serving size

REASONS TO AVOID

Tall

Small bottle mouth

Pricey

If you want a reliable rechargeable blender you can take anywhere, look no further than the Leegoal Bravo. The blending performance and unmatchable durability make it our top recommendation. It is the only blender we tested with an IPX7 waterproof rating. After fully submerging the blender in water for 30 minutes, we validated this claim as it sliced through frozen fruit without a hiccup. It also proved to be one of the more powerful blenders, achieving a desirable smoothie consistency faster than most other models.

Although portable, the Leegoal is rather tall. Those with very low-hanging kitchen cupboards or constraints on pack space may find the height problematic. Height aside, the only other real gripe we have is the small-sized mouth on the blending bottle. It's very narrow, which makes it harder to load ingredients. However, this is a nice safety feature for those with curious little tykes. If you can swing a few extra bucks, the Leegoal is a fine choice for anyone who wants durability, reliability, and portability all in one appliance.

The excellent durability and portability earned this model the top spot.

SCORE

Weight: 1.5 lbs | Bottle Capacity: 13 oz

REASONS TO BUY

Exceptionally compact

Quiet

Impressive blend time in a single charge

REASONS TO AVOID

Only good for small servings

Not ideal for blending bananas

When it comes to space-saving portability, the Nutribullet Go is hard to beat. The entire unit takes up minimal space in daypacks, gym bags, and luggage. The blending cup itself fits in the palm of your hand and the lids also feature an extra security strap. During our drop test, the tiny cup held up remarkably well, showing no signs of damage or leaking. We were also highly impressed by the battery life of this mighty little blender. After a single charge, it had one of the longest blend times in our fleet. It may be small, but the compact cup offers exceptional portability.

With excellent portability comes less than ideal blending performance, though it is still above average. During testing, we had an annoying banana slice the blades just couldn't manage to tackle. With some persistence and patience, we pulverized that one lingering piece after four blends. For those who don't use bananas in their smoothie, this won't be an issue. In fact, we found this model to be one of the better options for blending frozen fruit. Considering the long battery life, it's worth the extra minute or two.

The small size makes this a phenomenal choice for those who covet portability above all else.

Weight: 2.2 lbs | Bottle Capacity: 16 oz

REASONS TO BUY

Premium blending performance

Sleek design

Convenient travel cup

REASONS TO AVOID

Bulky

Expensive

The sleek design of the Cuisinart EvolutionX Compact is much akin to a bullet blender with two exceptions. It features a push start button and has the option of cordless blending. The powerful motor crushes ice and pulverizes spinach. With the installation of the flip-top lid, the cup goes from blender to travel cup, with the option of leaving the motor base behind; a perk for anyone who wants to eliminate extra bulk and weight. In comparison to most portable blenders, this is the closest you'll get to standard blender performance.

The tradeoff for powerful performance is space. The combination of the blending cup and motor base takes up some real estate. If you want to blend and go, this model is an excellent choice. If you want to travel with the entire unit daily, another option may suit you better. The EvolutionX is best for those who want to skip the hassle of tediously slicing up frozen fruit and plan on leaving the motor base behind.

Pulverizing frozen fruit, bananas, and spinach is no problem with this quality option.

Best Bang for the Buck

OVERALL
SCORE

Weight: 1.3 lbs | Bottle Capacity: 14.0 oz

REASONS TO BUY

Detachable bottle for drinking

Bold measurement lines

Nifty handle

Includes funnel accessory for easier loading

Good for smoothies and protein shakes

REASONS TO AVOID

Not the smallest blender tested

Not the easiest to clean

The PopBabies Portable offers remarkable portability and is one of our favorites for this reason. This blender incorporates numerous mobile features that are convenient and user-friendly. The sturdy handle offers a solid grip, while the detachable jar lets you drink without the motor base attached. The bold measurement lines indicate both ounces and milliliters making it easier to avoid overfilling. Meanwhile, the push-start button is easy to operate; blend smoothies, juices, or your morning protein shake in seconds — you can even crush ice, as long as you use tiny cubes from the included tray.

However, this model is not without flaws. First, you can't detach the blade from the cup. This isn't too much of an issue considering you'll never lose the blade — as long as you don't lose the cup. Second, the bottle is hard to clean. You can solve this issue by flushing it with water as soon as you're done with your beverage. Ignore the mess for hours and it will require a brush to remove the gunk inside. As long as you're more diligent with cleaning, the convenient design has much to offer for those on the go.

The packable design and solid blending performance made this the favorite among our testers.

Heavy

Bulkier than other options

Not USB compatible

For those who want a portable blender that can do more, the BlenderX Cordless is right up your alley. This is by far the most powerful blender tested, dominating at crushing ice and slicing through frozen fruit with ease. We dig that the larger bottle capacity allows you to produce bigger batches of frozen drinks. This is ideal for gatherings with friends, wherever that may be.

The biggest setback is the price point. You can easily find a standard blender offering equal performance at a better price. And, with greater power also comes a heavier, bulkier unit. To circumvent the size, the manufacturers tossed in a custom sling-style drybag. The BlenderX is best for those who don't mind sparing the extra expense for a portable blender that doesn't struggle with crushing ice.

This is the perfect option for backyard barbecues, picnics, and car camping.

Compare Products


Why You Should Trust Us

We formulated our test plan by assessing the intended use of the products and then zoned in on the most important criteria. We then rated each product according to portability, blending performance, durability, ease of use, and ease of cleaning. We put each one through a series of tests, including blending ice, frozen fruit, and protein powder. We also packed, dropped, cleaned, and cupholder outfitted each one.

Our portable blender testing is divided across five rating metrics:

Our portable blender testing was led by our kitchen tester Carissa Stanz. She has been specializing in food writing and product testing for over four years and spends her free time conjuring up new recipes in the kitchen. From smoothies to lattes, she has spent the better part of a decade preparing and serving up tasty refreshments at neighborhood coffee shops, making her an ideal tester for this review.

We put these blenders to the test, blending ingredients of varying consistency and determining their overall portability.

Analysis and Test Results

Before stepping foot in the kitchen, we did our research, assessing well over 30 models and then purchasing the best 10 portable blenders. We meticulously analyzed each product in our side-by-side testing, evaluating each on portability, blending performance, durability, ease of use, and ease of cleaning.

We crushed ice, ground coffee, whipped up protein shakes, and drank more smoothies than one individual should drink to see which models could tackle the work of a standard blender. We timed our results, measured each model, washed every nook and crevice, and took them for a spin in the car as well as on a short hike. After weighing in, we tallied our results to see which ones made the cut. Overall, the Leegoal, Nutribullet, and EvolutionX are in the top rankings.


Value

While the price may be steep, the Leegoal Bravo checks all the right boxes. The blending performance and durability are on point, while the sleek design is an additional perk. If you want standard blender performance, the Cuisinart EvolutionX and BlenderX offer powerful motors that slice through fruit without needing to cut it up into teeny tiny bits. For those who can't justify the steep price, you can still blend on the go at a fraction of the price with the Nutribullet Go and PopBabies.

Portability

A good portable blender should be just that — portable. We tested portability by measuring, weighing, and packing each product. We assessed how well the blenders fit in a daypack, took them for a short hike, and then nestled them in the cupholder of a vehicle. While all the blenders are portable, some stood out among the crowd.

For instance, the Leegoal allows for a nice grip around the bottle and fits well in both daypack water bottle pockets and car cupholders. Meanwhile, the Nutribullet has exceptional packability due to its compact size. We love how the PopBabies feels in transport, and the fact you don't need to worry about searching for a blade cover cap before stashing it in a daypack. The EvolutionX has a nifty quick grab handle and solid car cupholder compatibility making it one of our favorite travel cups in this review. Additionally, all four of these models feature blending bottles that can be detached from the motor base. This not only lightens the load but feels most akin to carrying around a reusable water bottle.

We tested each option to see how it rested in a cupholder and the PopBabies fit like a dream.

Unfortunately, we found the overall portability of EvolutionX to be on the bulkier side. We have similar feelings about BlenderX. While we like the concept of the waterproof bag included, we found the strap and inability to balance the pack load to feel awkward. If you plan on leaving the motor at home, base camp, or don't plan on carting it too far, this is less of an issue.

To test portability, we determined how well each one fit in the side water bottle pouch of a daypack.

Credit: Carissa Stanz

The tight lid of the PopBabies Glass gave us some assurance the drink would not spill in transport. We also liked how the slim design fits well both in the water bottle pocket of our daypack and our vehicle cupholder. The Tenswall and OBERLY both got honorable mentions for their bottle grip but could use some improvements on their flimsy straps.

Blending Performance

The best blenders should be powerful enough to slice through ingredients while reducing the hassle of busting out a standard blender. We conducted a four-series test to assess blending performance. This included crushing ice, blending smoothies, whipping up protein shakes, and grinding coffee. We then examined the results for desired consistency, evenness, and leftover residue. We also clocked the blending cycles and tallied up the blends per battery charge.

The BlenderX crushed the blending test. Equipped with 260W blending power, the BlenderX had no trouble with our ice test, pulverized large pieces of fruit, and left the least amount of protein powder residue in the blending cup. Trailing right behind is the EvolutionX. This model was able to tear spinach and tackle ice efficiently. These were also the only two models that did not require more than one blending cycle (about one minute) to reach a creamy smoothie consistency. The reason is the EvolutionX has a longer blending and the BlenderX only operates by holding the button down.

We tested each model's ability to grind coffee beans and calculated the efforts in blending performance.

Credit: Carissa Stanz

The Leegoal produced smoothies equally as good as the EvolutionX but required multiple cycles. This isn't too surprising given the short run time of 20 seconds. Considering it only took another cycle or two, the Leegoal is worth the nominal wait. Especially since it can tackle an array of ingredients like bananas and spinach.

Most portable blenders can only crush very tiny ice cubes, but the BlenderX had no problem handling average sized ice cubes.

Credit: Carissa Stanz

The Nutribullet was more of a mixed bag. When only blending frozen fruit, the tiny appliance pumped out some surprisingly quality smoothies. Toss half a banana into the equation and it's another story. Our testers found the inability to blend one slice of banana rather irritating. On average, banana smoothies with this unit require four blend cycles at 30 seconds. While that's not too much of a wait, you may not want to deal with pesky banana bits first thing in the morning.

We blended until the batteries ran out, drinking many smoothies along the way.

Credit: Carissa Stanz

The PopBabies and the PopBabies Glass can each make a tasty smoothie but will require multiple blends — like most of the rest. Also, props to the PopBabies Glass for the exceptionally quiet blend.

Durability

Since portable blenders are designed to blend anywhere you take them, the next factor you'll want to consider is durability. When testing durability, we looked at the construction of each product along with the quality of materials. We then packed each blender in a daypack and dropped it on the ground to simulate the brunt of daily abuse. After, we carefully re-examined every component and performed an additional blend test. While only one failed the drop test, there were some notable differences in construction, which led us to suspect some may last longer than others.

One of our prime concerns with durability is these smaller than average blenders won't hold up to daily use. Another concern is washing may lead to motor damage. Water damage is not an issue with the Leegoal. This model is not only waterproof, but it is the only waterproof blender in our review. All the components fit like a glove and we suspect it will have no problem handling a daily smoothie or two.

We love the durability and ease of cleaning with this model.

Credit: Carissa Stanz

The Nutribullet comes from a reputable brand that manufactures bullet blenders with quite the cult following. We feel anyone who has used any of their products can expect the same quality. The blending cup is durable and we feel the motor base will pump out smoothies for a longer period than the competition with a similar price point.

Similar to the Nutribullet, EvolutionX comes from a household name brand with quality craftsmanship. Both the powerful motor base and blending cup feel sturdy and capable of tackling smoothie after smoothie. There is no question this is one of the more premium designs with the price to match.

The plastic blending bottle of the PopBabies feels durable enough for daily use and nestles beautifully in the base. We did notice that the tiny plastic piece that covers the charging port fell off at some point in our testing. Considering the size of the plastic we were not the least bit surprised and expect this to happen with similar models.

A good durable blender has a quality blade that can slice through ingredients, again and again.

While we also like its sister counterpart, the PopBabies Glass, the glass blending bottle raises some concerns as well — mainly, that the glass could eventually crack while on the go. It also failed the drop test as the flashing red light indicated the blender was malfunctioning. It did run a few full cycles after the test, but it was only intermittent as the blender began to frequently malfunction.

When unboxing the BlenderX, we noticed two loose washers underneath the blade plate. The instructions made no mention of this which raised some eyebrows. We also question what repetitive use will do to the longevity of some of the more budget-friendly options, such as the OBERLY and Tenswall.

Ease of Use

For ease of use, we tested everything from charging to operation to drinking. We paid close attention to how simple it is to load ingredients and how intuitive the user interface is of each model. While most of the portable blenders are a cinch to figure out, some had additional features that made them easier to operate.

Topping the charts for ease of use are the Nutribullet and EvolutionX. From loading to blending, the Nutribullet is highly intuitive and doesn't even require a solid flat surface for operation. You could blend while holding it in the plan of your hand if you like. However, this is not recommended. Blending with the EvolutionX is a breeze and feels remarkably similar to operating a bullet blender. The wider mouth is also a blessing for easily plopping in ingredients.

The USB models are so convenient you can charge them with your computer.

The Leegoal is a piece of cake to operate. Although it has two noticeable flaws that prevent it from being the most user-friendly model. First, it has a very specific charging cord that is not universal. Lose the cord and you'll quickly need a replacement. Second, the blending bottle has a narrow mouth. The blender is capable of being loaded bottom up, but you must be careful to screw the base in right. Also, absent-mindedness may lead to a mess if you forget to screw the top cap on when loading from the bottom. That said, we feel these are minor complaints when considering all the attributes. Additionally, this is the only model with an LED screen featuring easy-to-read codes along with a time count.

Most of these options are so portable, you can blend in the palm of your hand.

Credit: Carissa Stanz

The PopBabies is the only option with bold measurement lines in both ounces and milliliters. We found the funnel accessory helpful when loading ingredients and the on/off push button was simple to operate. Trouble is you may lose the funnel to the abyss of the miscellaneous kitchen gadget drawer. This may result in more ingredients on the counter than inside due to the small opening. Meanwhile, the PopBabies Glass offers remarkable stability, requiring zero hands during blending.

The fill lines on the POPBABIES are easy to read making it even easier to fill.

The BlenderX features a unique screw-on bubble lid designed to remove the blade component from the base. We found this to be an odd mechanism for removing the blade and much more likely to get neglected or lost in the shuffle over time. There's also the fact that this machine won't operate unless you're holding down the button.

Ease of Cleaning

The last metric we rated was the ease of cleaning. For this, we weighed how easy it was to dismantle and hand wash all the components, with a particular emphasis on cleaning the blades. We found all of the blenders were easy to hand wash, but we were particularly fond of the Leegoal and EvolutionX in this category. The Leegoal is easy to dismantle and there's no need to be extra cautious about damaging the motor by washing. We also found the detachable blade plate of the EvolutionX easier to clean.

The PopBabies is our least favorite model to clean. The blade is fixed to the bottom of the bottle, which makes it harder to reach. This is exacerbated by needing a brush to scrub the inside. However, a quick rinse after enjoying your beverage eliminates the need for extra elbow grease.

Most of the cleaning is as simple as running the blender with soap and water, then rinsing.

We found the Nutribullet, PopBabies Glass, OBERLY, and Tenswall took little effort to clean. However, we couldn't give them a perfect score because it's impossible to clean the blade without risking water damage to the motor base.

What you need to know before buying the best portable blender!

The best thing about a handy portable blender is that they are obviously versatile and are very well spared spending plans. As if you could have a phenomenal all-in-one blender that runs on battery power for the $40 mark. There are many compact blenders available to search for, but the question is, how do you find the right one for you? To do this, you must consider four things before choosing the best portable blender.

Engine power (power):

Generally, all-purpose blenders have low engine power, but they are capable enough to give you a great blend. Find the power of the blender, the higher the power, the better results you will get.

Limit (bottle size):

You need to understand what container size this blender has. The bigger, the better. Larger compartments will hold more servings of hard liquor, but these can be inconvenient to deliver. What's more, smaller containers will be much easier to transport, but will need to be refilled frequently. So it's up to you to decide if you want larger containers for more drinks or if you prefer more modest jugs.

Assembly Material:

Two types of material are commonly used to create a compact blender bottle. Glass and plastic. If the all-purpose blender has a glass bottle, in this case everything is fine, no problem at all. However, if the compact blender bottle is made of plastic, at this point you should be sure that it is BPA-free. Always choose BPA-free plastic, as it ensures that food that comes into contact with the plastic is perfectly fine and does not go bad.

Benefits of BPA free plastic bottles:
Blending blades

Handy blenders are available in various numbers and styles of sharp edges. The edges shift from 2-6. Obviously, the more edges, the better the mixing and smoothing. However, you must remember that at whatever point you blend the ingredients in an all-purpose blender, you must cut them into small pieces so that the edges work great when blending and give you a perfectly smooth smoothie.

What is the difference between a portable blender and a stationary and immersion blender?

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.
