The 10 Most Powerful Mini Blenders Money Can Buy

What they lack in size, they deliver in torque.

It’s Sunday morning and you want to fuel up for your long run with a protein-packed smoothie. But, do you really want to lug your giant Vitamix out of the cupboard—and later spend 30 minutes on the tedious cleanup of all its pieces? Enter: mini blenders. Don’t let its small size fool you. These petite gadgets can handle frozen fruit, ice cubes, and raw nuts, and they’re way more cost-effective than their bulkier cousins. Here, ten of the best mini blenders that deliver creamy results and can be tossed in the dishwasher for easy clean-up after.

The Best Mini Blenders

1. Hamilton Beach Personal Blender, $20

Amazon’s number one best-selling personal blender, with 4.3 out of 5 stars and more than 27,000 reviews, this Hamilton Beach model scores high marks for its efficient motor and compact, portable size (the 14-ounce BPA-free blending jar fits in most car cup holders). Best of all the blending jar, blades, and travel lid are dishwasher-safe, for the easiest cleanup imaginable.

3. Tribest PB-150 Personal Portable Blender, $70

With this mini blender, Tribest lives up to its motto, “Making healthy living easy.” Small and powerful stainless-steel blades effectively grind ice, grains, seeds, nuts, and coffee beans. The blender comes with one commuter lid to take your drinks on-the-go and one regular top for secure storage in your refrigerator. Customers note that the compact size makes it ideal for smaller or single-serve portions, with one adding, “I have a Vitamix (love it), but for small tasks, the Vitamix is too large. Each morning I make a smoothie and this is just the perfect size for me.”

4. Bella Personal Size Rocket Blender, $27

Another budget-friendly option is this under-$25 blender from Bella. It comes with 12 BPA-free, dishwasher-safe accessories, including one tall blending cup, one short blending cup, one drinking cup, two shaker tops, two lids, and two comfort lip rings. Two blade options make it great for multitasking: a blending blade will create smoothies, tasty sauces, and salsas, and a grinding blade that allows the Rocket to double as a food processor. Reviewers note that while it is a bit loud, it's so powerful that you won’t have to bear the deafening sound for long.

5. Magic Bullet Blender, Small, $39

Magic Bullet has established itself as one of the go-to brands for personal blenders, and for good reason. This 11-piece set does it all, whether you’re chopping, mixing, blending, whipping, or grinding. Versatile and easy to use, the Magic Bullet does way more than you’d expect from a $30 blender: it chops, mixes, blends, whips, grinds, and more. Though the wattage (200) is much lower than some of the other models on this list, the sub-4lb weight and $39 price tag make this an excellent starter or budget option that still performs.
