Here our results from our recent Beast Blender lab testing: I transported the blender from home to the lab and back so I could see how transportable the blender system is (spoiler alert: It's 12 pounds and not easily transportable). I also road tested the Beast Blender for a few weeks in my home kitchen, making everything from protein shakes to matcha lattes to sauces. I ground oats to make oat flour and then oat milk (I mean, who doesn’t want to be able to make oat milk whenever they feel like it?), crushed ice and made two recipes from the Beast Blender website. I also tested the claims on the box such as durability and power blending. I made all of our standard blender testing recipes (except for our soup recipe, because the Beast is a personal blender without vents). How we tested the Beast BlenderĪfter seeing all the buzz around the Beast Blender, I wanted to put it through our tests in the Kitchen Appliances and Culinary Innovation Lab. We also consider how loud each blender is while operating and how well it fares in the dishwasher if it's dishwasher safe. We assess how helpful the owner’s manual is as well as how easy each model is to assemble, use and clean. 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. (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. 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. When we test personal blenders, we adjust the recipes accordingly. We test each with the same standardized recipes to see how they stand out among the rest. In the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Culinary Innovation Lab, we have tested more than 100 blenders over the years, including numerous immersion blenders and personal blenders, to find the best high-performance models. Capacity: 25.4 ounces in the large vessel and 11.8 ounces in the small vessel.Dimensions: 4.92 x 4.92 x 15.75 inches (with large blending vessel).Take note that we did notice a little scratching on the vessels and some staining on the gray exterior after completing our testing. While this blender is easy to hand wash (if you wash it immediately), you can also place all removable parts, except for blade assembly, in the top rack of your dishwasher. To turn on the blender you must push the button on the back (which isn't in the most convenient location, but it's manageable) and then press the button on the front quickly for a short pulse or hold it for a few seconds to blend at full speed for one minute. There is a two-step process to operate the Beast Blender, which provides a layer of safety. Unlike other personal blenders, it is nearly impossible to open the vessel of the Beast Blender when twisting it off the power base, which provides extra peace of mind and reduces spilling mishaps. To help with blending efficiency, the Beast Blender’s ultra thick Tritan plastic vessels - the hydration system is glass - feature a 12-rib design (for comparison, most blenders have about four ribs within a blender jar). It's available in two variations: Beast Blender and Beast Blender + Hydration System, which come in carbon black, pebble grey and cloud white. 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. Created by the founder of NutriBullet, The Beast Blender was developed with features that deliver high-performance function. It's everywhere! At first glance, this personal-size blender looks like it may be designed solely for aesthetics, but after I put it to the test, I can report that the Beast is more than just a beauty. The Beast Blender is all over the Internet right now – you might have seen an unboxing video on TikTok or watched your favorite influencer make their morning smoothie on Instagram.
