The wide mouth makes adding ingredients easy, and it’s also easier to remove thick items like nut butter from this type of cup. One thing to note: The thick Tritan plastic 3-cup-capacity cup is wider and squatter than most other models. It comes with a storage lid and a drinking lid the latter also has a drinking cap with an adjustable carry loop. If for some reason the blender won’t start, color-coded lights indicate why (e.g., amber flashing lights mean the motor is overloaded a flashing red light means the contents are too hot to safely blend). The Beast made quick work of smoothies with both fresh and frozen fruit, blended ice into slush with just a few pulses, and made a good batch of nut butter without breaking a sweat (and without any metallic blender smell, thanks to internal sensors that prevent overheating).

But it isn’t just good looks that won our favor its powerful 1,000-watt motor delivers. With its unusual hourglass-shaped design, this blender is eye-catching right out of the box. Loading up the blender the wrong way and/or turning the blender on top speed for every task can ruin your blender’s motor.

Make sure the manual gives you insight on best practices for loading the blender and which speed to use for different tasks.

And, if you do want your blender to live on your counter, it’s important to ensure there is enough space under your cabinets. Afterall, this encompasses your storage needs (if you’re low on counterspace, a smaller, more lightweight version is for you) and function needs (are you looking for a daily smoothie maker or something for family sized soups?). Capacity: The size of your blender and your blender’s carafe might be one of the more important factors you consider when selecting a blender.
