A wireless portable blender
0:02
Let's give it a whirl. Dave Taylor here, and I drink smoothies pretty much every morning
0:15
But, honestly, this is not a very portable smoothie solution. Enter this
0:20
This is so cool. This is the second generation of the blend jet system
0:25
This is the blend jet too, and it's brand new. Now, this is a portable blender
0:31
So you can unscrew it and obviously you are good to go and you can actually clean things
0:37
It's super easy to clean. We'll get to that at the end. Let me reassemble it and you got to line up the arrows in the back
0:46
There we go. And it's super easy to work with. So you unscrew the top, you put ingredients in, you blend them, you are good to go
0:54
So I thought that with the new Blend Jet 2, I would actually give you
0:58
you some demos but first let me tell you about it 16 ounce capacity it has 15
1:05
blends on a single charge you charge it via USB C the button in the front lights
1:11
up while you're charging let me cut to that because it's really zen not nice so
1:16
you can get up to 15 charges on a or 15 blends on a single charge charges via
1:22
the USB it does include a USB C cable don't put that in your smoothie that's not
1:27
good. It is obviously waterproof. You can actually immerse the whole thing. Totally no problem
1:33
It has a three second push to lock on the button and then push to unlock it so that it doesn't
1:39
accidentally turn on if you're bringing it to work in your backpack along with a say Tupperware
1:45
container or sorry sealed plastic container of all of your smoothie ingredients. So you can not just
1:52
make smoothies of course. You can make salad dressing salsa, margaritas on the
1:57
road you could make camping daqories how awesome is that you can even make soup or spin up a soup or something so
2:03
i'm going to make actually my standard smoothie and i always start with a banana and this banana is looking a
2:11
little tired but fingers crossed it still taste good we find out because i just going to go ahead and put it in the smoothie container and of course i have washed this in advance and you see washing it super easy So I got banana now I have a bunch of frozen fruit I just gonna drop them in two
2:29
And then I like to put in just a little bit of yogurt Just coincidentally happen to have all of this stuff lying around so usually this is just to give it a little bit of creaminess
2:39
So I'm just gonna put in just a little bit of yogurt and sorry can't resist
2:43
Okay, so we have all that in and now all that's left is we need a liquid to actually make it into a smoothie and
2:52
I happen to have oat milk. I'm a big oatmeal fan so oh one of the things to do with oat milk always give it a good shake before you use it
3:02
Now I will just add oat milk and we'll do it to here on the side that's facing me they actually have
3:13
marks for milliliters and ounces it is like I said a 16 ounce container I'm going to
3:21
just close this up and you ready this is the big test I mean this is where it
3:26
all comes down to this so let's push the button and see what happens that's pretty
3:37
hard to beat that's a pretty nice smoothie machine right there and there's
3:41
really nothing to complain about just going to let it just run for a minute and that's probably good enough let's see
3:50
well let's see how smoothied we got our smoothie so I'm gonna unscrew the top and then that
3:59
looks really good I'm gonna just pour it into my glass and as I pour it you can see it did a
4:04
beautiful job I mean there was one tiny lump of that was probably a bit of blueberry
4:08
or something that is one tasty looking smoothie that we're going to
4:13
going to drink shortly, but I thought really the test of these things is ice cubes. So now let's
4:20
drop in some ice cubes and see what it does with those. Because if it can't handle ice cubes
4:26
then there's a fair number of beverages like daugheries and margaritas that is not going to be
4:30
able to handle either. So now we have the ice cubes in here. It'll probably clean up the sides
4:35
a little bit as it goes too Let see What are we doing wrong here
4:47
Let's see, we're having a technical difficulty here. Maybe these ice cubes are too big for it
4:59
Hmm. Well, it's not doing well on the ice cube test, so not sure what's going on this
5:05
Not sure what's going on there. So I'm going to go ahead and actually empty some of them out and we'll see what we can do
5:12
Or better yet, let me add a little bit of water. I mean, I've seen in their demos that they've been able to shred ice cubes pretty effectively
5:19
So we'll do this. Now, maybe it'll work a little better. We'll see what happens
5:26
So, all right. We're ready for this. There we go. So I think it's just the ice cubes without anything
5:35
just enough to cause the jam sensor on that blade to trigger. So now I have a slushy of the remnants
5:45
but perhaps more importantly, that also demonstrates how easy this thing is to clean, right? Now
5:52
I don't really want to drink this, but I think if we pour the liquid out, you can see that it
5:59
has done an extraordinarily efficient job of taking our ice and just absolutely crushing it
6:05
And I mean that in the literal and figurative sense. So now let's see what happens
6:18
Okay, that's pretty sweet. So what I've learned is don't just put in a bunch of ice cubes
6:22
Put in a bunch of ice cubes in a little bit of water, and you can always drain the water out when you're done
6:27
But notice also, like I said, it's actually cleaner than it was when we started
6:31
which is a great outcome of a demo. So, now, the real proof of this, of course, is my smoothie
6:42
That's really good. I need to finish this up so I can finish my smoothie. So what else can I tell you with it
6:47
You clean this up by putting about half water and then just a drop of soap and just let it spin
6:54
And when you're done, you dump it out, maybe rinse it once more. And it perfectly clean No hassles no actually touching the blades You never really want to do that And one of the things that cool is BlendJet too is this BlendJet the company actually has these
7:09
jet packs, which are these ready to make smoothie mixes, basically. So you put in a certain
7:14
amount of water, add their little powder, and boom, you have a smoothie. It's great for on the road
7:20
great for in a hotel, great for in the office. If you're trying to eat healthier, rather than just
7:25
get whatever's in the junk, you know, pile and the break room or something. Those are 336 each
7:31
That's not what we're talking about, though. We're talking about this. This is the BlendJet 2
