Overview
Elite Gourmet packages a 300 watt motor with four spill proof 16 oz cups, a small grinder cup, and both chopping and blending blades, aimed at single serve smoothies, shakes and light grinding jobs.
This is a budget entry point rather than a high power personal blender, and reviewers who compared it side by side with pricier units like the Nutri-Ninja found it noticeably weaker at crushing whole ice cubes, though it handles already broken ice and frozen fruit chunks without trouble.
- 300 watt motor, 17 piece set
- 4 spill proof 16 oz cups with foam grips
- Separate grinder cup for coffee, nuts and cheese
- Dishwasher safe cups
Who it's for
Fits daily smoothie or protein shake drinkers who freeze fruit in advance or use crushed rather than cubed ice, and anyone wanting a low cost second blender for an office or dorm. Not the right pick for someone whose main use case is crushing hard ice cubes straight from a tray.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Long term owners describe the base lasting years of near daily protein shake or smoothie use, and several like the grinder cup for coffee, nuts or cheese as a bonus beyond blending. The clearest limitation reviewers raise is weak performance against whole ice cubes compared with pricier personal blenders, along with cups, lids and the blade base seal wearing out with heavy regular use.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Handles frozen fruit and broken ice smoothly for daily shakes
- Includes 4 spill proof cups plus a grinder cup for coffee, nuts or cheese
- Simple start and stop button rather than turning on the moment it's plugged in
- Base has lasted years of near daily use for multiple long term owners
- Struggles to chop whole ice cubes compared with pricier personal blenders
- Cups and lids wear out or go missing with regular use
- Blade base seal can wear and leak after years of heavy use
Performance notes
The 300 watt motor blends broken ice, frozen fruit and protein powder into a smooth drink quickly according to multiple long term owners, some reporting years of near daily use from the original base. Where it falls short is whole ice cubes, which one reviewer's side by side test against other personal blenders found it could not chop, and heavy daily use over time has led some owners to see the blade base seal wear out and leak.
