The Beast Mini Blender ($119)
The blender's base has a 600-watt motor that can create ridiculously creamy blends in less than two minutes. While it can pump out a silky smoothie, it can also be used to grind, chop, mince, whip, and juice, which adds to its versatility in the kitchen. The compact design is small enough to accommodate any countertop and packs easily. You can even drink your smoothie straight out of the blending container by switching out the blade piece with the included leak-proof drinking lid and straw. Three of our editors put it to the test and wrote about their experiences in this Beast Mini Blender review.
Editor Quote: "While I've struggled with the lack of power on some of my previous compact blenders, this one has a small but mighty motor. In fact, it blends so well that I sometimes like to use the single button to pulse it instead of leaving it on the automatic blend feature to get more texture. I also use it to batch prep homemade salad dressing for the week, as well as cremas for tacos and other sauces. It's so easy to take apart and stick in the dishwasher when I'm finished. I honestly couldn't recommend it more." — Angela Elias, contributing shopping editor
