Is the Blender Bottle Right For You? Mix Your Drinks on the Go!

It Looks Just Like a Water Bottle!

I really hate it when I am enjoying a fresh, home made fruit drink and I come across a large chunk of something that did not get mixed in. It seems silly to get the blender out and mix it all up again. However, there is a small blender option that is so convenient to use, this would not be an issue. I am not talking about a regular small blender, but the Blender Bottle, which costs a mere $5 to $10. Read more

Why Do I Need a Portable Blender?

Small blenders for your traveling convenience

A small blender might sound like a complete waste of space. However, have you considered the benefits to shrinking down an appliance? Depending on your lifestyle and family size, a portable blender might be just the thing to cut back on cabinet space and only use what you actually need! Plus, many fall into an affordable $20 to $60 price range that is far more attractive than spending hundreds for a larger model.

Is it just you or maybe you and one other person in your house hold? If so, do you really need that huge, super powered blender that has been gathering dust in your cupboard? Consider how many times you have used it in the last six months. Now consider how many you used it to capacity. You may find most you are often only half filling it, when a small blender would suffice. By using the larger one, you are wasting:

• Storage space
• Power to run the larger motor
• Food that remains on the unused portion of the blender container
• Your time as you have to spend more of it cleaning the larger capacity container
• Money that you paid for the larger blender size

If you still think you need that big blender even though you do not use it to capacity, have you thought about what other appliances you might have that could easily replace it, justifying the use of a small blender? Do you own any of the following:

• Food processor
• Chopper (hand or electric)
• Mixer
• Ice dispenser with chopped ice option

If so, then you have just eliminated many of the uses of your large blender. Why not get that old thing out of the cupboard and get some cash for it! Big blenders tend to cost more, because you pay for the extra size. Put an ad online or in your local paper, sell it, and use some of the profit to buy a small blender. The rest, you can use for whatever you like!
