How to choose
Choosing the best blender for one person
Start with capacity: the BEAST holds 640 ml, the pakay holds 500 ml, and the Magic Bullet holds 3.5 fluid ounces. For one person, a single-serve vessel you can drink from beats a large jar you must pour from. Match the vessel size to the batch you blend each morning.
Power, speeds and ice
Wattage and blade speed decide what a blender handles: the BEAST runs at 600W with two speeds, the Magic Bullet runs at 250W with one speed, and the pakay runs at 50W with blades spinning at 21,000 RPM. If you crush ice, check the ice claim: the BEAST crushes ice and the pakay crushes ice cubes and frozen fruit. A pulse control, like the BEAST has, helps with thick blends.
Charging, cleaning and upkeep
The pakay charges over USB-C and runs 7-8 blending cycles on a single charge, so it suits travel and offices without an outlet nearby. The BEAST blade removes for cleaning. The Magic Bullet jar and blade clean in a dishwasher. Rinse the vessel right after blending, and dry the blade before you store it.
