Choose Cuisinart EvolutionX Cordless (RPB-100) if…

You’re the strongest cordless blender for ice and nuts. Crushes ice and nuts better than most portables and holds its charge for many smoothies. Bulkier than rivals, but the best performer when you’re away from an outlet.

Choose Magic Bullet if…

You’re occasional, simple smoothies on a tiny budget. The original mini blender. Fine for soft fruit, yogurt and milk, but its small motor struggles with lots of frozen fruit, ice and leafy greens.
