Beast Mini Blender ($89, originally $99)
Smoothie lovers will appreciate this compact but powerful blender that's also aesthetically pleasing. The blade attachment can be switched out with the included lid and straw so that you can drink out of the blender without having to transfer it to another cup. Three of our editors put it to the test and write about their experiences in this Beast Mini Blender review.
Editor quote: "While function is obviously a factor, I can't overstate how well designed and beautiful this little blender is. From the fluted vessel to the gorgeous color choices and coordinating cord, it might be the one kitchen appliance I don't hate to leave on my countertop.
Looks aside, it also works like a dream. I use it to blend smoothies almost daily and appreciate how it automatically slows down to allow for the frozen fruit and other ingredients to shift and settle before the automatic sensor revs up again." — Angela Elias, contributing editor, Shopping
