![]() ![]() The BlendJet One took about one minute to blend, but the BlendJet 2 blends for about 20 seconds and then turns itself off automatically. The blending mode is much faster than it used to be. There’s also a lock mode, which is a smart safety feature to prevent accidental blending while your blender is packed in a bag or you’re sipping from it. BlendJet One only had blender mode, but the BlendJet 2 also has a pulse mode so you can use it to chop ingredients. The BlendJet 2 is operated by a single button, which serves to power the blender on and off and selects between three modes. The color options are bright and fun, and there’s something for everyone.Īnother new and noteworthy feature on the BlendJet 2 is the addition of measurement markings, which the previous version lacked entirely. At the time of this writing, there are 15 solid colors, two camouflage prints, and one design in partnership with Bailey’s liquor from which to choose. The BlendJet 2 is available in even more colors than the first generation. I never found much use for it and didn’t miss it on the BlendJet 2. One design feature that didn’t carry over to this generation is an optional strainer that could be screwed onto the top of the blending cup. I figure this must have been done for aesthetic reasons. This process just seemed clunky and could have been avoided by putting the markings on the front where the power button is located. I had to turn the cup around to see how much milk or water I was pouring, and then turn the blender back around to power it on. The blender cup has magnets that have to be lined up just so with the blender base, otherwise, the blender won’t turn on, so you can’t just turn the cup so the markings face front. One odd thing to note is that the measurement markings have been printed on the back of the blender cup. I found this extremely helpful so I could eyeball my ingredients right in the blender and skip having to dirty measuring cups when following a recipe. If you want to make a smoothie with milk, protein powder, fruit, leafy greens, and other add-ins, you’re still going to have to scale down your recipe and be prepared to use fewer solid ingredients.Īnother new and noteworthy feature on the BlendJet 2 is the addition of measurement markings, which the previous version lacked entirely. In my opinion, the design of this blender is still best for whipping powdered ingredients, like protein powder, collagen, or the brand’s BlendJet packs, into liquids. Plus, like the BlendJet One, you’ll get the best blends in recipes containing more liquid than solids. The tall and narrow shape of the blending jar is tough to fit much in the way of solid ingredients without overcrowding it. This sounds plentiful, but it has its limitations. The blender cup can now hold up to 16 ounces, which is equivalent to 2 cups. The BlendJet 2 did feel heavier, but it weighs less than 2 pounds, so it’s not so heavy that it’s tough or uncomfortable to transport. It doesn’t take up much space if you want to pack it in luggage or a gym bag, beach bag, or oversized tote. Like the first model, the BlendJet 2 measures 9 inches tall and 3 inches in diameter, which fit easily into my car cup holder. Interestingly, the increased capacity didn’t change the overall dimensions of the BlendJet 2. This is a welcome addition, since I found the capacity of the original BlendJet to be too small to make a significant smoothie for breakfast. Perhaps the most obvious change to the BlendJet is an increased capacity. The Spruce Eats / Sharon Lehman Design: Larger blending cup with new measurement markings I spent several weeks making smoothies, cocktails, and even a few snacks, like salsa, in the BlendJet 2. ![]() BlendJet was also kind enough to send me a few samples of its powdered single-serving fruit, vegetable, and protein smoothies, called JetPacks. I set out to see how the BlendJet 2 performs and compares to its predecessor and current competitors. ![]() Some of the promised changes and improvements to the original design include 33 percent more capacity, a more powerful motor, and a water-resistant design. Since then, BlendJet has redesigned and launched a new offering: the BlendJet 2.
