The Best Individual Blender

After spending 28 hours analyzing a dozen individual blenders, and testing 6 models, we concluded that Nutribullet offers the best balance between power, simplicity, convenience and price. Read our review below.

OUR CHOICE: NUTRIBULLET 600

The NutriBullet portable blender won us over with its ability to blend the ingredients into a tasty smoothie, its ease of use and its competitive price. The engine showed no signs of weakness when hitting thicker mixes, and it mixes frozen fruit into a smooth, lump-free beat. The quality of the final product is equivalent to traditional bench top blenders, without taking up all the space they use. If you like making vitamins every day, Nutribullet is a great investment.

Of the models we've tested, the NutriBullet 600 has the best balance between price, ease of use and efficiency. The 600 watts of power is triple the power of other models on the market, such as the Magic Bullet, which has 200W, or the Hamilton Beach Individual, which has just 175W. If you want versatility to make your smoothies, and want to beat frozen fruit, 200W of power isn't enough. That's why we recommend this model so much.

GOOD COST X BENEFIT: MAGIC BULLET

SEE THE PRICE

If you're looking for a basic individual blender that can make your daily smoothies and nothing else, consider Magic Bullet, which is a more basic option, but it does the job. Fast, simple and very portable, Magic Bullet was designed with people who lead a busy life in mind. Although the motor only has 200 watts, it is strong enough to beat frozen fruit and most of the ingredients you want, as long as you use the right amount of liquid together.

In our tests, Magic Bullet produced some of the smoothest, smoothest smoothies of any blender. Thanks to its cylindrical shape, his cup is also very easy to clean. Like NutriBullet, Magic Bullet can be turned on and left on the sink/counter running without being held down, which is very important in our review. 1 minute never seems to end when you have to stand there holding the blender. For the price, functionality and power, you'll be hard pressed to find a better portable blender than this one.

WHO SHOULD BUY

A personal blender is a portable appliance that brings convenience to juice and smoothie lovers who want a quick fix in the morning or after a workout. If you want to quickly make a morning smoothie, and go out to face your day, without having to clean a cup, base and lid from a traditional blender, this is a good option.

Even if you don't drink smoothies every day, or if you're happy with your traditional blender, an individual blender is a good addition in the kitchen to make a quick sauce without making too much mess.

Portable blenders are good for small tasks like vitamins, but their engine isn't as powerful as a full-size blender. That means you'll have to use more liquid, and cut the fruit into smaller pieces.

These equipments are also not made for crushing ice, or mixing hot liquids.

If you're looking for a strong rig that can make purees, sauces, and heavier stuff, it's best to choose a standard-sized model with a more powerful engine.

The perfect individual blender is powerful, simple to use, and you don't have to hold it while it's on. We look for models that are compact, to use as little space in the kitchen as possible.

Also, long term durability is essential.

It is essential that the portable blender does the complete job in one minute, because the engine in these machines is not meant to run any longer.

We've noticed that weaker models smell burnt and heat up when heavier ingredients are used.

These models require almost twice as much water as stronger models such as Nutribullet to create a smoothie with no chunks, creating a waterier-than-ideal end product.

THE BEAUTY OF SIMPLICITY

Simpler models, with a single speed, in our opinion are more practical than options with multiple speeds, and different settings and other frills. These things can work well in a large, benchtop blender. But in portable models, simplicity and agility are more important.

PORTABLE BLENDER, IMMERSION BLENDER OR FULL-SIZE BLENDER? WHICH ONE TO CHOOSE?

With all these options on the market, our readers are confused about the best choice. Are they really that different? Why are there so many types of blenders? Do you need to have all three?

The answer to the last question is no – you don't necessarily have to have all 3. Generally speaking, all three options use the same mechanics to liquefy, mix and spray food and beverages. But choosing the right one for your needs will make your life in the kitchen easier.

The traditional blender is great for making cold drinks, milkshakes, smoothies and the like for more than one person. When the family is large, it is difficult to rely on a portable model.

Most people already have a model like this somewhere in the kitchen. If you have kids, you won't be able to give up this option.

The portable single blender, however, is ideal for individuals or couples who rarely make larger blends at once. This blender model has exploded in popularity since making juices, smoothies, and smoothies became fashionable.

As people are more concerned about health and nutrition, this type of blender has become an essential piece of equipment if you are fit, like to make a shake after the gym, etc.

The individual blender is easier to store, clean and transport than large models. And the good ones come with a glass that you already use to drink, and you can put it in your backpack or purse, as they have a safety catch so they don't open.

If you are looking for a practical device, and don't hit large volumes, a portable model is ideal.

The immersion blender is the most different model of all, but it's still very useful. With their stick-shaped design and compact size, blenders are extremely portable and useful for hot meals. I use mine to make pesto sauce, homemade mayonnaise and whipped cream.

If you like to cook but don't cook for a lot of people, having a blender and individual blender is the best combination for your kitchen.
