The personal blender for a smoothie on your way out

The number that decides this purchase is 20 ounces, the size of each of the two cups in the box. This is a personal blender, sized for one drink at a time, with a single dial and an automatic program called SmoothiePilot. It comes in black, and a white version is also sold.

The set includes the motor base, a blade base, two portable 20 ounce blending cups and two to go lids. Two cups means a second drink can be prepared without washing the first cup, though the listing does not say whether extra cups are sold separately. The listing says the cups fit most cup holders, which is a design claim and not a measurement, since no cup diameter or height is given.

SmoothiePilot is described as an adaptive program that senses ingredient activity and adjusts speed and timing automatically. The listing does not explain how it senses this, so treat it as a description of behavior, not a technical specification. If you prefer to control the texture yourself, the same single dial gives variable speed control. The blades are laser cut stainless steel, and the motor is called powerful, but no wattage or horsepower is stated, so that word is marketing rather than measurement.

Cleaning is described as self cleaning, and the container is BPA free and dishwasher safe. The design is called compact and meant to save counter space, yet the listing gives no dimensions or weight. Price, warranty and cord length are not stated. The black version is described here, and a white version is also sold.
