Smoothie performance
Soft fruit, yogurt and milk blend fine, but fibrous greens and seeds leave visible bits, so stick mostly to fruit-based recipes. Go easy on ice and fully frozen fruit: add liquid first and let frozen fruit thaw for a few minutes. It isn’t built for thick smoothie bowls.
Size, cleanup and day-to-day use
It holds Two 16 oz cups, so it suits one or two smoothies at a time. Dishwasher-safe: yes (cups). The quickest cleanup for any blender: fill it a third with warm water and a drop of dish soap and blend for 30 seconds right after use.
Who should buy it
Best for: the cheapest single-serve blender that still crushes frozen fruit. The main trade-off: 16-oz cups are small.
Price checked October 2026, blenders go on sale often, so compare a few retailers and check the warranty (1 year) before you buy.
Our verdict

More power than the BL610 plus Auto-iQ programs that pulse and pause for you: press “smoothie” and walk away. Smoother results with greens than cheaper Ninjas.
