Scarlett's raspberry-coloured blender is positioned as a solution for healthy lifestyles. It is equipped with three shakers (the main 800 ml and two 600 ml each - a cup and a glass). They are both working containers and travel bowls. You can take them with you for training, walking, short trips.

The Scarlett SC-JB146P10 is also complemented by drinking accessories. This is a removable handle to the glass, a ring fixed on the edge of the cup, and a pair of lids with which the prepared smoothie or cocktail will not overflow during transportation.

The blender received a powerful 1000 watt motor. The manufacturer assures that with it you can cook smoothies from vegetables and fruits in a few seconds. For efficient grinding and mixing, a pulse mode is provided. The kit also offers two knife blocks: 6-blade for soft products and 2-blade for hard products. The cutting elements are made of stainless steel brand Steel Pro.

In practice, as users note, the model does an excellent job with liquids and medium-density ingredients, but it is recommended to add something liquid to solid foods, such as nuts, for better results. Also, at the beginning of operation, unpleasant odors of plastic may appear. Otherwise, Scarlett SC-JB146P10 is an originally equipped version of a fitness blender for a reasonable price.

The popular Xiaomi brand blender is designed for making vitamin cocktails, fruit smoothies, baby formulas consisting of cereals, vegetables and fruits. Grinding, according to the manufacturer, takes less than 10 seconds, for which a 250-watt motor is responsible, giving a 3-blade steel knife a speed of up to 24,000 rpm. It will also take a little time to clean up after cooking: just rinse the knife block and container under running water.

To turn on the Xiaomi Ocooker Electric Juice Extractor, you need to press the large button located on the case: you can do this not only with your fingers, but with your whole palm.

Together with the blender, the user receives two containers of 600 and 300 ml. Both come with sealed drinking lids and a carrying eyelet. In fact, they "turn" shakers into full-fledged sports bottles.

Travel bowls are made of tritan. This is an impact-resistant, environmentally friendly plastic, inert to food, their odors and dyes. Today it is actively used for the manufacture of various children's products, including drinkers.

The motor base of the model weighs only 1 kg, but thanks to the silicone feet at the base, the body does not “dance” on the table during operation. The disadvantages of Xiaomi Ocooker Electric Juice Extractor include a Chinese plug that requires an adapter, which is not always convenient to use in the kitchen. Otherwise, the blender copes well with the tasks assigned to it and will be a good helper for smoothie and milkshake lovers.

Philips calls the Daily Collection HR 2603 a mini blender. This is partly due to its light weight (a little over 1.1 kg) and compact dimensions (together with the installed container, the dimensions are 11x11x34 cm), so the model should not clutter up the space either on the table or on the kitchen shelf.

The blender "knows how" to mix, chop and chop, with the help of a 350-watt motor that supports pulse mode and has protection against overheating. For greater convenience, 2 operating speeds are proposed: the first copes with most simple tasks, and the second provides more intensive mixing: suitable, for example, for crushing ice.

The Philips Daily Collection HR 2603 comes with three containers. In the main 600 ml, it is recommended to mix liquids and soft foods, prepare mashed potatoes or cream soups. Fans of an active lifestyle will find a 600-ml glass that fits in a car cup holder and, thanks to the drinking cap, is in no way inferior to a sports bottle.

All containers and the knife block can be washed in the dishwasher. And the plastic case, which provides anti-slip feet for a stable position on various work surfaces, is enough to wipe with a dry cloth.

The Philips Daily Collection HR 2603 is a worthy choice not only for smoothies, but also for wider use in the kitchen. By the way, if the white model does not fit into the kitchen interior, then take a closer look at the silver version - Daily Collection HR 2605.

The exterior of the Bosch blender was awarded the IF Design Award 2017. The device is made in a universal black and gray color, and the key highlight of the design is the red LED ring, which is also an indicator of the operation of the device.

The case of Bosch MMBM 7G3M is made of stainless steel with chrome inserts. And although the total weight exceeds 2.5 kg, the dimensions of the model are very compact - the motor base occupies a heel of 120 by 116 mm.

The 600 ml main container is made of ThermoSafe heat-resistant glass. The material is not afraid of both hot (soup) and cold products (ice cream), does not become cloudy during operation, but can break when dropped.

Other complete Bosch MMBM 7G3M accessories are made of safe plastic - tritan. We are talking about a smoothie shaker - a half-liter 2Go bottle with a practical drinking cap, and a 200 ml grinder designed to grind small portions of spices, herbs, vegetables or nuts. It is also allowed to store already ground ingredients in it, closing the bowl with a complete sealed lid.

A 350-watt motor is responsible for the productive work of the blender. It supports 2 speeds of operation with a maximum rotation of up to 35 thousand revolutions per minute. This should be enough to mix and grind a wide variety of products. True, due to the lack of a pulse mode, for example, for chopping ice, it is recommended not to hold the buttons for a long time, but to alternate switching on and off manually.

Bosch MMBM 7G3M is able to please users not only with workmanship and a good set of containers, but also with a really attractive design.

The manufacturer's model Tefal refers to vacuum blenders. Nutrikeep technology is implemented here: a special pump, which is installed on top of the working container, pumps air out of the bowl, as a result of which it is possible to slow down the oxidation processes: fruits and vegetables retain their beneficial properties longer, have a more pleasant taste and look more appetizing.

It is important that Tefal BL 181 supports several operating modes at once. To select them, an intuitive rotary switch is located on the motor base. You can either immediately start vacuum grinding (when making smoothies), or simply pump out the air (for example, for longer storage of chopped vegetables and fruits) or perform normal mixing. In addition, a special programme for crushing ice is also proposed, where the pulse mode and high speeds are activated.

The blender received two travel containers with the same useful volume of 600 ml. Both are complemented by drinking caps, so it is convenient to take a smoothie or other vitamin shake with you both to work and for a run or other workout.

Shakers are made of plastic, which is proposed to be cleaned manually or automatically - by placing it in the dishwasher. But the vacuum pump is recommended to be washed only under running water.

The blender is equipped with an 800-watt motor, which should take care of efficient grinding and mixing of a wide variety of ingredients. To help him in this will be a universal knife block with four blades Trip'Ax. According to the owners, the model quickly copes even with crushing ice, not to mention preparing drinks from seasonal berries or chopping soft foods.

The disadvantages of Tefal BL 181 include the high price due to the support of vacuum technology. But keep in mind that more affordable stationary blenders with an air pumping function are easy to count on the fingers of one hand.
