Are portable blenders worth it? The Cuisinart Blast & Go definitely is!
What should I look for in a portable blender?
More powerful performance
With a 20,000 RPM motor, the Blast & Go is designed to crush ice and blend frozen fruit with ease, making it ideal for smoothies, protein shakes and frozen drinks. The trick is to layer ingredients and ensure ice or frozen fruit is in the middle with liquid surrounding it.
True grab-and-go convenience
Once you've finished blending, simply twist off the motor base and the lightweight jug is ready to take with you while the motor base can stay in your car, office or gym bag. With other portable blenders on the market, the motor base often remains attached to the bottle after blending. To convert it into a drinking bottle, you need to turn it upside down, unscrew the motor base and then fit the travel lid. While this works well, it's an extra step and means handling the heavier battery base every time you make a drink.
Smarter, safer blade design
One of the biggest differences is our blade system. Our stainless-steel blades are permanently integrated into the blending cup, rather than the motor base like other portable blenders. This means:
- No exposed blades when carrying or storing the motor base
- Safer to use and transport, especially for families and use by children
- Fewer removable parts to assemble or misplace
- Reduced risk of leaks caused by incorrectly fitting a separate blade attachment
Two intelligent blending programmes
Unlike blenders with a single timed blend cycle, the Cuisinart Blast & Go features dedicated Blend and Smoothie programs. Each uses its own optimised blending pattern and automatically finishes when the program is complete, helping you achieve the best consistency for different ingredients.
Designed for life on the go
The lightweight 500ml BPA-free jug is designed to blend and drink from the same container. Simply remove the motor base, open the leak proof lid and you're ready to go.
Longer battery life
A single USB-C charge provides up to 20 blends, so it's ready whenever you need it, whether you're at home, at work or travelling. Tip - please charge with the cable provided and on a reliable USB port for best experience.
Easy to clean
The BPA-free cup and drinking lid are dishwasher safe, making clean-up quick and effortless.
Backed by Cuisinart quality
For added peace of mind, the Blast & Go comes with a 3-year Cuisinart guarantee, where as other brands only offer 1 year.
