Mini Blender Buyer’s Guide
A mini blender is a great option if you want to enjoy delicious smoothies or ice coffees but you lack the storage or time for a full size blender. Fuss-free to clean, quieter and more affordable than standard blenders, a mini blender makes it easy to increase your fruit and vegetable intake. They can even be used for milkshakes if you fancy a little sweet treat!
Not sure what to look for when it comes to the best mini blender? Check out this buyer’s guide.
Design
Mini blenders usually come with a small bullet-shaped blending cup which then converts to a traditional cup. This makes for hassle-free cleaning, as you blend your smoothie straight into the cup then drink from it. Quick and convenient, the cup can then be taken on the go. Some blenders come with extra cups which is great for multi-person households.
Mini blenders have a compact design so they can be stored away after use. They take up very little space on your worktop, but if you have a very small kitchen, look for a blender with an extra compact design. Built in cord storage is a handy design feature.
Capacity
The capacity of the blending cup will vary, with some blenders using a 350ml cup and others up to 700ml. For everyday use and taking on the go, a smaller cup is a great option. These are lightweight and can be tucked away in your bag.
Power
The power of the motor is measured in watts, and this too will vary. 250W motors are suitable for soft fruits and vegetables, but you may find they struggle slicing through hard fruits or ice. If you like your smoothies super smooth and filled with a range of fruit, a smoothie maker with a higher wattage is a safer option.
Efficiency
Mini blenders with more blades and a higher wattage are more efficient, producing delicious lump-free smoothies in just a few seconds! Cheaper blenders with fewer blades and less power are less efficient.
Ease of Cleaning
The blender cups are often made from BPA plastic which makes them dishwasher safe, or they can be cleaned easily with warm water and dish soap. The blades usually need to be cleaned by hand which can be a little fiddly.
