As a busy commuter constantly struggling for time, the promise of making a smoothie in my car felt like a futuristic fantasy. That's why I immediately said yes to trying the Blendi Pro +. And while the concept is crazy-awesome, I quickly learned that the "Pro" + part means there's a little learning curve involved.
My teenage stepson and I have been putting the Blendi Pro through its paces, and I'm sharing my honest thoughts on our experience.
My very first attempt was a spectacular failure. I tried to blend frozen fruit and it just wouldn't crush completely, leaving me with chunky liquid disappointment. Humiliatingly, my hubby immediately stepped in and achieved a perfectly smooth consistency on his first go. Apparently, there is a method, and the instructions are key.
After that initial hiccup, I started to notice a few crucial elements that determine success with the Blendi Pro:
The Starting Order: You must use liquid first. This is non-negotiable for a smooth blend.
The Capacity Rule: You absolutely have to leave space at the top. Overfilling the container prevents the blades from properly catching the ingredients.
Patience Pays Off: Forget the standard 20-second blend time, especially if you're using frozen fruit. I found it often needs more time than that to achieve a genuinely nice consistency.
Keep it Charged: This makes sense, but as the charge dips, the blending power diminishes and it takes noticeably longer to finish the job. Regular charging is a must if you plan to use it daily.
My stepson still seems to do it with a breeze, but after a few more attempts (and paying closer attention to his technique), I've managed to get much closer to his five-minute smoothie prep time.
The core value of the Blendi Pro + —being able to create a healthy drink while I’m on the go—is fantastic. It has easily slotted into my morning routine and genuinely saves me time.
However, there are a couple of minor drawbacks:
Size: I do wish it was a bit bigger. If I’m really hungry, the portion it produces feels a little small.
Cleaning: My stepson wishes it were dishwasher safe, though I don't find the manual cleaning to be a huge hassle. Though, it would be a positive addition.
Ingredient Container: It's not truly big enough for on the go making. I put the liquid in it and require another container for the fruit.
Final Verdict/TLDR:
The Blendi Pro + is a nice product that lives up to its promise of portable blending power. While there is definitely a technique to master regarding filling, blending time, and charge status, the convenience it offers for someone with a busy commute is unmatched. I would absolutely recommend this product, especially if you're someone who is constantly on the move. Like me! I can see it being handy for things like road trips and look forward to using it more.
I recently got the BLENDi blender and so far I’m really impressed. I love how portable and wireless it is—it makes it super easy to blend my shakes anywhere. For its size, it blends pretty well, and it’s convenient for quick, on-the-go smoothies. I’m still fairly new to using it, so I haven’t tested how long the battery lasts after many charging cycles, but so far it’s been reliable.
I also own a Vitamix, which of course has much more power and can handle bigger jobs, but that’s not really what I’d expect from a portable blender. The BLENDi definitely fills a different need: it’s lightweight, compact, and perfect for travel or when I don’t want to deal with the bulk of a full-size blender. Overall, I’m pleased with it and think it’s a great option for anyone looking for a convenient, smaller blender.
Jon and the team have created an awesome portable blender. On top of that, customer service is top notch! Don’t hesitate, get yours today.
This is exactly what I need for travel and ease of use!
How do I exchange for a larger Blender?
My BLENDi works well for mixing my cats’ food with water every morning. However, the place where the charger plugs in was very rusted out and I was worried about using it. This new part took care of that and I’m no longer concerned. I do wish the parts were more rustproof but have two Blendi’s which I love.
I have been putting off making smoothies because it was too difficult. My daughter gave me a Blendi and after a month or so, I finally decided to try it. I love it. It is so easy to use, cleans up easily, and now I use it all the time.
The ones I tried I liked very much. The 3 bonus smoothies 26, 27, 28 I could not download
Quieter than expected. Beautiful neon green color. Blends thoroughly. Will be choosing another color, it’s always good to have a spare. Ty🤗
I’ve tried many portable blenders and Blendi is the one that I will choose from now on. I have the X ( 24oz) because my smoothies have a lot of frozen fruits. The only downside is that the port where you connect the charger is exposed to water/ moisture, that can affect the ability of the battery to charge the way it should. I suggest Blendi to add some type of silicone cover for this issue. Other than that, im enjoying the blender
Love both of my Blendi Blenders. More quiet than the larger mixers and portable, too.
The Blendi X Ice is great. It is cordless. I can mix ice coffee, fruit shakes, ice drinks and milk shakes quickly. The charge lasts for several uses. It works quickly. It switches easily between blender and travel bottle. The pop up pour spout makes drinking and pouring easy.
Absolutely love it for my smoothie, which has kale and frozen blueberries and banana , and spinach which can be alot for any blender, but with the milk it blends perfectly and quickly and even able to have it ready to go in the container I blended in, love it!
Love this BLENDi! It’s a great blender for my protein shakes! I loved them so much I bought several for Christmas presents! My grands will love them for their daily workout shakes!
This portable blender does what the description says! It crunches up ice and frozen fruits with ease. Not having to change the lid to sip the drinks (smoothies, etc.) is great. This Blendi brand is quality made. I would definitely recommend this over a different brand I used to have.
I had an issue with my blender, customer service was great. I sent an email and heard back immediately. I was so surprised it was that quick and my issue was resolved.
This product it’s perfect size for the go. The best part is being able to do my shake with frozen fruit. No need to make extra messes.
Order has yet to be received. Order was placed on July 18, 2025.
The base unit started erring on charge. Replacement fits and works a charm.
The product is great! Love making chocolate malts! The company is super! The base on my original Blendi did not work. But the company sent me a brand new one. Thank you for a great product and a great company.
Amazing product! So happy with this purchase! Might purchase the bigger size next!
