We tested the BlitzPro Power Blender here at Motherpedia and here’s what we think:
Design: The BlitzPro Power Blender is slightly larger than a compact blender, but the extra weight and base size provide it with more stability.
Motor: According to the manual, you shouldn’t run the motor for more than 30 seconds. There was one time when we forgot to turn it off, but the blender stopped operating without any further response. There was no burnt smell from the blender, unlike others we’ve tried before. We tried it again to see if it still works and it worked perfectly fine! This is all thanks to the Overload Protective System that automatically kicks in during such situations.
Power: Be warned: this blender is extremely powerful—and that’s good! The sound is very loud and you can literally feel that the blades are working hard to blend the food items inside. We’ve tried putting in carrots, apples, seeds and even ice cubes; all of which came out with a thick shake texture.
Note: You might want to add a bit of water if the fruit or vegetable mix is not very juicy.
Use: The rubber cap that goes with the blender does a good job in keeping the liquid in the cup so you won’t have to worry about spills. We did notice that some of the residue gets stuck beneath the rubber seal (which happens with other blenders too), but can be easily cleaned by using a stick to push the rubber in a 45-degree angle to displace the seal from its position so you can pull it out gently for cleaning. Note that you don’t have to do this after every use since food doesn’t really get trapped there all the time!
Cleaning: We know that mums already have their hands full so it wouldn’t be ideal to add another tool in the house that will only take up extra cleaning time. The good news is, the BlitzPro Power Blender is such a breeze to clean! The blending blade holder can be easily removed without any extra tools. The cup is also big enough to put your hand in to for scrubbing so you can thoroughly clean it without problems.
Would we recommend the BlitzPro Power Blender? Definitely! It’s perfect for preparing delicious and healthy shakes for the family without the extra effort of having to take the pieces apart for cleaning afterward.
Overall Satisfaction Rating: 5/5
The BlitzPro Power Blender is powerful with solid material and a reasonable price tag (RRP $99.95).
