The BlendJet 2 is a battery-powered personal blender for making smoothies and other single-serve drinks to go. It's primarily available on the manufacturer's website and comes in a variety of bright colors. It's meant to be portable, meaning you can drink directly from its 16-ounce jar with the blade assembly and motor base attached, or screw the lid on and put the whole blender in your bag. It does an okay job of making smoothies and crushing ice but can't fully process kale. The blades also tend to jam when you first start blending, and it's not very good at making almond butter. None of its parts are dishwasher-safe, but fortunately, it's easy to clean by hand.
Our Verdict
The BlendJet 2 is disappointing for multi-purpose use. It makes okay smoothies and crushed ice in its 16-ounce jar, but you often need to shake the jar before the ingredients start blending. It's not good for making almond butter, and like most personal blenders, you can't use it for hot blending. It's also not dishwasher-safe. On the plus side, its jar design makes it very easy to clean by hand since it can open on both ends. It's also compact and quiet when it's running, making it well-suited for use as a portable blender.

Not dishwasher-safe.

The BlendJet 2 is okay for making smoothies. It makes an adequate smoothie in roughly four minutes, but you may need to shake it quite a bit before the ingredients process. It can incorporate frozen banana chunks but doesn't fully process kale. However, it makes crushed ice with an okay texture, which is nice if you add it to your drinks. It's also very easy to clean after making a smoothie, although soap can get caught under the seals, which is a bit annoying.

Very light and small.
-
Quiet while blending.
-
Not dishwasher-safe.
-
Struggles with leafy greens like kale.
The BlendJet 2 is adequate for crushing ice. It feels sturdy and makes crushed ice with an okay consistency in about four minutes. Unfortunately, it can't process very many cubes at once because some tend to get stuck above the blades instead of being processed.
-
Quiet while blending.
-
Not dishwasher-safe.
The BlendJet 2 can't safely blend hot ingredients, so it's not suitable for making soup.
The BlendJet 2 is inadequate for professional use. It's mostly intended for making single-serve drinks, and its jar is too small for big batches of food. It struggles to fully process hard ingredients like almonds and fibrous greens like kale, and you can't use it for hot blending. Ηowever, it's decently well-built and easy to clean by hand.

The BlendJet 2 is a very small personal blender. It's intended to be portable, and while it's a bit heavier than the NutriBullet GO, it's still very easy to carry around. It can fit into backpacks and purses and doesn't take much space in a kitchen cupboard. You can also remove the jar from the base to make it shorter and easier to store.
The BlendJet 2 has a good build quality. The entire blender is plastic, including the jar and motor base. The blade assembly is attached to the base with a thin shaft and is slightly offset from the center, which the manufacturer says helps it blend better. The base sits on three rubber anti-slip pads and has a power button with a battery life indicator light and a USB-C charging port.
The jar has a magnetic sensor that helps align it with the motor base, and it screws tightly into place. There are measuring marks on it, and the lid has a built-in carrying strap.
The BlendJet 2 comes with a 16-ounce jar with a screw-on lid. There's no bottom for the jar apart from the motor base, meaning the base needs to be attached if you want to drink from the jar. Take a look at the NutriBullet GO if you're looking for a cordless blender with a different design.
Unfortunately, this blender's jar, lid, and blades aren't dishwasher-safe.
This blender doesn't come with an additional jar.
The BlendJet 2 has six sharp blades, including two that are serrated. Since you can't remove them from the motor base, they aren't dishwasher-safe.
The BlendJet 2 has a screw-on lid with a built-in carrying strap.
The BlendJet 2 is battery-powered and has a fairly short USB-C to USB-A charging cable. The manufacturer says the battery takes about 90 minutes to fully charge and lasts for 15 or more 20-second cycles. Unlike the PopBabies Portable Blender, you can't use this blender while it's charging.
The BlendJet 2 has one speed setting. Pushing the power button once allows the blender to run continuously for 20 seconds, or you can double-press it to turn on pulse mode. You can also push and hold the button for five seconds to lock the blender, which prevents it from accidentally turning on. When you're ready to use the blender again, you just hold the button for another five seconds to unlock it.
The BlendJet 2 struggles to make almond butter. Once it breaks the almonds up into a paste, the ingredients get pushed to the sides and a space forms around the blades. You need to tap or shake the jar often to help the ingredients come into contact with the blades. Unfortunately, after about 10 minutes in total, you have a mostly dry and sandy almond butter that's barely spreadable on toast.
The BlendJet 2 is okay for making smoothies. It can blend frozen banana chunks and kale into a cold and drinkable smoothie. Ηowever, it has a foamy and leafy texture because of unprocessed pieces of kale. You may also need to shake the blender vigorously at the beginning of the process to incorporate the ingredients. It takes about two minutes of blending, and since the blender runs for a 20-second cycle each time you press the button, you need to press it quite a few times.
The BlendJet 2 is decent for ice crushing. It can make crushed ice with an okay texture but can't handle too much ice at once since it tends to build up under the blades. That said, it can process four cubes at once if you blend the first three for a few seconds to break them up before adding the fourth.
The BlendJet 2 doesn't have any programs or modes.
The BlendJet 2 is very easy to clean. If you're working with liquidy ingredients like those for a smoothie, blending water with a bit of soap takes care of most messes. It's also easy to clean if you make something sticky like almond butter because once you remove the lid and motor base, the jar is open on two ends. A quick blend with soap and water should remove any residue on the blade assembly. In either case, you may need to rinse away soap trapped under the lid and motor base seals, which can be annoying to do every time you use the blender. Also, no part of the blender is dishwasher-safe, including the jar and lid.
Differences Between Sizes And Variants
The BlendJet 2 comes in many different colors and patterns, including 'Black,' 'Mint,' 'Lavender,' 'Purple,' 'Red,' 'Blush,' 'Lemon,' 'Orange', 'Hot Pink', 'Seafoam', 'Lime', 'Coral', 'Sky Blue', 'White', 'Royal Blue', 'Ocean', 'Bailey's', 'White Marble', 'Black Marble', 'Woodland Camo', 'Urban Camo', 'Winter Camo', 'Walnut', 'Carbon Fiber', and 'Leopard'. There are also 'Tie Die', 'Rainbow', and 'Leopard' variants that are part of a partnership with the brand Lisa Frank.
We tested the 'Mint' variant, and you can see its label here. The expectation is that the other color variants will perform similarly. The selection of colors and patterns seems to change quite often, so you may want to take a look at the manufacturer's website to see what's currently available. If you come across another variant, please let us know in the discussions, and we'll update our review.
Compared To Other Blenders
The BlendJet 2 is a compact, battery-powered personal blender that comes in a variety of bright colors.
