  • Weight

    Most single serve blenders include a travel cup or – the container that it comes with can be used as one. As one might expect, these are most of the time, low in capacity. But it is always nice to have a little bit more. The Hamilton Beach 51101B Personal Blender with Travel Lid has a 14oz capacity while the Vitamix S30 Personal Blender includes a 20oz cup, though they have a significant difference in price. It would also be great if it can fit in car cup holders.

  • Travel Lid

    It is also important, and should not only be an added feature, that the blender includes a travel lid. This usually has a drinking spout so you can take it and drink your juice in the car on your way to work. Beware though, that these are rarely spill-proof but they are usually secure enough not to spill when placed in a cup holder on a moving vehicle.

  • Cord Storage

    It would be an added convenience if the blender is designed with a cord storage so that you can neatly tuck the cord away when you bring it with you. The Hamilton Beach 51108 Stainless Single Serve Blender with Travel Lid?features a base where the cord conveniently wraps around for easy storage.

  • Dishwasher Safe

    You want the blender to be as easy to clean as possible so you don’t have to worry about cleaning it when you bring it with you. It would save you a lot of time and trouble if the cup and other parts are dishwasher safe.

Special Types

Some blenders have unique features and design that make them quite versatile. They can serve as countertop blenders and at the same time, a personal blender that can be portable. Here are some that fits that category.

Conclusion

Always take into consideration other uses that you might have for your blender. Think of it as an investment. And it wouldn’t hurt to have something that offers some added features that you can use later on. A countertop blender that includes a single serve jar might be more practical if you also want to serve blended drinks to your family or guests.
