BLENDi FAQ | Troubleshooting & Instructions

What should I do before first use?

Fully charge your BLENDi before using it. Charging takes 3–5 hours or until the display reads FL.

Why won’t my BLENDi turn on after charging?

Check these common issues:

  • Tighten the cup body onto the blending base

  • Cut fruit and vegetables into smaller pieces

  • Add a little liquid

  • If blades are stuck, shake the container and turn it on again

What does EL mean?

The EL message usually means the container is too full, the motor is stuck, or the unit needs more charge.

Why does my BLENDi shut off after a few seconds?

The default blend time is 20 seconds. It may stop early if the bottle is empty or ingredients are too light. Turn it on again if you need more time.

Can I blend ice?

Yes. Use 1–2 ice cubes at a time. Multiple cycles may be needed for solid ice.

Can I use BLENDi while charging?

No. To protect the battery, BLENDi will not operate while plugged in.

Do I need to slice fruit before blending?

Yes. Cut apples and other large fruits into small pieces before blending.

Why is my BLENDi leaking?

First check the rubber seal to make sure it’s seated correctly. If the blender went through the dishwasher, parts can warp. You can order replacements here:

How loud is BLENDi?

It’s quiet enough to use in a kitchen or office break room without disturbing others.

How long do I press the power button?

Just press it once — it stays on by itself. No need to hold the button down.

Can I make iced coffee?

Yes. BLENDi can crush ice and mix cold brew, coffee, milk, and other liquids easily.

Why does it only blend for 5–6 seconds?

BLENDi stops early if ingredients are too light or too heavy. Overfilling can trigger an ER message. Blend again in shorter bursts.

What is the capacity?

Total capacity is 17.5 oz.

Why is there black residue after washing?

That’s likely residue or mold buildup. Wash thoroughly with soap and air dry upside down. Do not store the cup wet.

How many blends per charge?

You’ll get about 10–15 blends per full charge (each cycle is 20 seconds).

Will it fit in a car cup holder?

Yes. BLENDi fits standard vehicle cup holders.

Does it come with a charging cable?

Yes, it includes a USB charging cable. A wall adapter is not included.

Is the blade removable?

No. The blade is fixed for safety.

Can I blend milk, yogurt, or other liquids?

Yes. You can use milk, almond milk, yogurt, juice, or water.

How long does the blender last?

We use premium materials and components. Many customers use their BLENDi for years.

Can I shake BLENDi while blending?

Yes. A slight tilt or shake helps blend thicker ingredients.

Can I blend leafy greens like kale or spinach?

Yes. Add liquid first and break up greens for better results.

How do I know it’s fully charged?

The display will read FL when charging is complete.
