Overview
Bear's countertop blender pairs a 700W motor with a 40oz jar and six stainless steel blades, aimed at smoothies, shakes and crushed ice rather than heavy commercial blending.
- 700W motor with 3-speed control
- 40oz jar with included measuring cup
- Six stainless steel bi-level blades
- One-touch self-clean function
Who it's for
Suits someone making daily smoothies or shakes for one to a few people. Less suited to anyone routinely crushing large amounts of ice or whole frozen fruit, where the motor is reported to struggle.
Pros and cons
- Self-clean cycle simplifies maintenance
- 40oz jar size handles multiple servings
- Pulse function for crushing ice
- Non-slip base reduces movement during use
- Speed dial markings are hard to see
- Struggles with large frozen pieces like whole strawberries
Performance notes
The 700W motor and bi-level stainless steel blades are built for smoothies, purees and ice crushing via the pulse function, with the self-clean cycle running on soap and warm water rather than manual scrubbing.
