The Beast Mega 1200 Plus is a high-end personal blender. This is the brand's largest and most powerful personal blender, but it shares the same design as the Beast Health Blender, including a ribbed jar and an hourglass shape. Its main jar holds 40.6 ounces, which is a considerable capacity for a personal blender, and it also includes a 34-ounce jar and a smaller 16.9-ounce jar, advertised for chopping and grinding. It also includes a few lids for different purposes: storage lids, a straw cap for easy drinking on the go, and a carry lid with a plastic loop for easier carrying.
Our Verdict
The Beast Mega 1200 Plus is decent for multi-purpose use. It's primarily intended for smoothies, shakes, and frozen drinks, and it's well-suited for this purpose since it can blend fruits and vegetables smoothly and make small batches of crushed ice. Using it for recipes like nut butter isn't the easiest process, but it can still produce good results, so it's helpful for occasional dips and spreads as well. However, as a personal blender, it can't hot blend and has only a single blending speed.

The Beast Mega 1200 Plus is excellent for making single-serve smoothies. This well-built personal blender quickly produces a very smooth blend with small batches of fibrous ingredients, such as fruit and kale. It can easily crush small batches of ice cubes. It's designed for smoothies and comes with a straw lid, allowing you to easily sip your blend on the go.

The Beast Mega 1200 Plus is excellent for making multiple servings of smoothies. Although it's a personal blender, its main jar has a 28-oz blending capacity (40.6oz overall capacity), which is enough for a couple of small smoothies. It blends more efficiently at full capacity, making a nearly perfectly smooth blend of fibrous ingredients in about one minute. It has no problem crushing small amounts of ice cubes, either.

The Beast Mega 1200 Plus is a decent ice crusher. While its main jar can fit about six ice cubes, it can't process that much ice at once. However, if you use a smaller batch and simulate pulse mode by repeatedly pressing the power button, it's quite easy to create snow-like crushed ice. It has excellent build quality, which is especially important if you blend a lot of hard ingredients, such as ice cubes.

The Beast Mega 1200 Plus isn't good for making soup. This personal blender can't hot blend, so it's not suitable for blending cooked ingredients directly from the pot or pan. However, it does make a very smooth blend with fibrous ingredients like broccoli or kale, so it can help with making silky, pureed soups as long as you let your ingredients cool down.
Excellent build quality.
Can't hot blend.
The Beast Mega 1200 Plus isn't meant for professional use. While it performs well for a variety of recipes, its 28-oz maximum blending capacity is limiting. Because it's a personal blender, you can't add ingredients or stir your ingredients without undocking the jar and removing the blade assembly. It can't be used for blending hot ingredients. However, it can blend fibrous ingredients very efficiently and smoothly.

Popular Blender Comparisons
The Beast Mega 1200 Plus is a big personal blender. It has a similar design to the brand's other blenders, including the Beast Health Blender and Beast Mini Blender Plus, which both have smaller main jars and less powerful motors. It has quite a bulky design for a personal blender, and if you primarily use your blender for personal smoothies, you might prefer a smaller model with similar performance, such as the Beast Health Blender or Ninja Foodi Power Nutri DUO. However, it's a good option for blending smoothies and frozen drinks for a couple of people. While it works best with recipes like smoothies and protein shakes, it's also a suitable option for small batches of nut butter or hummus, making it quite versatile for a personal blender.

The Beast Health Blender and Beast Mega 1200 Plus are similar, and you might prefer either. The Mega 1200 is bigger and has a bigger capacity in its main jar. It's better for processing fibrous ingredients at full capacity and comes with multiple jars. The Health Blender is a bit better for processing recipes like nut butter, and it's quieter.
The Beast Mega 1200 Plus and the Beast Mighty 850 Plus have a similar design and come with similar accessories and jars. All of the Mega 1200's jars are slightly larger, and it also features a more powerful motor. It's a significantly better ice crusher and performs slightly better for blending fibrous ingredients and recipes, such as nut butter. That said, the Mighty has a comparable performance, and you might prefer its more compact design.
The nutribullet Pro 900 and the Beast Mega 1200 Plus have different strengths. The Beast is a large personal blender that can blend a couple of small smoothies at once in its main jar. It has a more modern design, but it's also much bulkier. The nutribullet is more compact, which you might prefer if you just need a blender for personal smoothies. It's also easier to use for making small batches of nut butter.
The Beast Mega 1200 Plus has a better blending performance than the nutribullet Pro+, as it makes a slightly smoother blend with fibrous ingredients and can crush ice without liquid in the jar. The Beast comes with more jars and with a straw lid and straw for drinking on the go. However, the nutribullet is a much smaller and lighter blender that also performs well for smoothies.
