I've always been a bit of a skeptic when it comes to trendy kitchen gadgets, since they usually wind up shoved in the back of a cabinet. So when I heard about the portable blender from BlendJet, I really didn’t think I’d need it. And as someone who loves to make smoothies, shakes, margaritas, and sauces, I also didn’t think something this compact could stand up to my full-size blender.
But as I started to see the BlendJet 2 pop up all over my social media feed and in publications like USA Today and Forbes as “a tool to live a healthier lifestyle on-the-go,” I couldn’t help but get a little curious.
That’s why I decided to give this little gadget a try. After all, I am always saying how I wish there were more quick and healthy options while out and about instead of fast food chains. Here are my thoughts:
It’s compact but super powerful
I almost laughed when I unboxed my BlendJet. How could something so compact measure up to a countertop blender? But despite its small size, this mighty blender packs a serious punch thanks to its powerful motor and stainless steel blades.
In mere seconds, it turned my favorite fruits and veggies into a silky-smooth consistency—smoother than my regular blender ever could. Its blades and frame also seem solid. I may have dropped it on my way into the gym, but you’d never be able to tell… oops.
It’s portable and oh, so convenient
One of the things I love most about my BlendJet is how incredibly convenient it is. Its USB-rechargeable battery means I can blend up my favorite smoothies, shakes, and sauces anywhere, anytime —no outlet required. This is a huge plus, since most Airbnbs we stay at don’t have blenders.
Cleanup is also extremely simple thanks to its BPA-free, easy-to-clean design: I just add a little soap and water, blend, and that’s it! There’s nothing I hate more than trying to get the dirty blade out of my regular blender while trying not to cut myself or make a mess.
Plus, it’s much quieter than my traditional blender, so I’m not bothering anybody at work or those sleeping in at home.
It’s easier to eat healthy
What really sold me on my BlendJet was how it's helped me prioritize my health in ways I never thought possible. Having such a portable, versatile blender at my fingertips has made it so much easier to make nutritious choices, even when I'm short on time or traveling. I no longer have to scavenge for healthy options at the airport, while out running errands, or on long road trips.
But don’t get me wrong—it’s also extremely convenient for those nights where a margarita sounds like heaven. I said what I said.
This trendy kitchen gadget is something you want
So to answer your question of whether you actually need a portable blender, the answer is yes. It’s so easy to use and clean, quiet, powerful, and it can be used for practically anything: smoothies, shakes, sauces, dresses, cocktails, cold brew, dips… the list goes on.
Plus, at only $49.95-$69.95 (pricing varies by color) with free shipping, I can now make practically anything I want whenever, wherever! Trust me, don’t knock it until you’ve tried it.
