BlendJet BlendJet 2
With stainless steel blades, the BlendJet 2 can work with hard ingredients like fruit or ice for fancy shakes on the go in 20 seconds.
The BlendJet 2 is portable, water-resistant, and powerful enough to handle the demands of a regular smoothie drinker. It avoids becoming overly clunky, accessory-laden, or too heavy to be considered portable in the first place. Whether it’s smoothies, cocktails, protein shakes, or baby food, you won’t have any trouble processing the usual ingredients with the Blend Jet.
It also crushed ice as well as some of the smaller AC-powered units we tested. We don’t recommend crushing a ton of cubes, as it’ll burn through the battery much more quickly, but the capability speaks well of the blade’s sharpness and speed.
A carrying loop and lock mode make it extra reliable on the go, as does a water-resistant USB-C port, which is even submersible. We ran it under water in the sink and left water standing in it for 30 minutes before running it again without a hitch.
Cleaning is also a piece of cake. Per manufacturer instructions, we loaded the jar attached to the basin with soapy water, closed it, ran the blades for a few seconds, rinsed it out, and it was sparkling. You might try this with other blenders, but it’s often not recommended as blades can tarnish, among other things.
The one thing we really dislike about the BlendJet 2 is the shockingly short warranty (albeit money-back) of 30 days. For a similar option with a one-year limited warranty, look to Oster’s Blend Active. It’s a little smaller and less powerful, but it works well enough for smoothies, shakes, and baby food and costs less than half the price.
