Our verdict

A capable small-batch blender at a fair price, provided you register that the blade unscrews the opposite direction and don't fight it.

Overview

A compact 32oz personal blender from Cuisinart with a 1+ peak HP motor, two travel cups, and a rotary dial for pulse, low, and high. Built for daily smoothies, juices, and protein shakes rather than large-batch blending.

The one recurring surprise: the blade assembly threads the opposite way from a standard jar, which trips people up until they learn it and, in at least one case, led to a leak during use.

  • 1+ peak HP motor
  • 36-inch cord
  • Dishwasher-safe jar and cups
  • Accessories lock onto the base

Who it's for

Suits someone making a smoothie or shake once or twice a day who wants a jar small enough to wash by hand. Not the choice for anyone who wants a blender with a familiar thread direction and no learning curve, or who regularly blends hot liquids in the plastic travel cups rather than the main jar.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Blends leafy greens and ice finer than budget bullet blenders
  • 32oz jar and two travel cups included
  • Removable blade assembly for cleaning
  • Handles hot liquids like coffee in the main jar
Cons
  • Blade assembly threads the opposite way, confuses new owners
  • Not built for continuous heavy-duty use
  • Travel cups aren't meant for hot liquids

Performance notes

The rotary dial gives three manual states, pulse, low, and high, rather than presets, so texture comes down to how long you hold it there. The 1+ peak HP motor is reported to handle kale, spinach, frozen berries, and ice with less leftover residue than lower-power personal blenders, and it can take hot liquids like coffee when blended in the main jar rather than the travel cups.
