Amazon beats Ninja with 30% discount on portable Blast Max blender

Whether you're after a quick shake, frozen cocktails for a garden party, or a refreshing smoothie to beat the heat, a blender is your best mate. Plus, many punters love having a portable model that can easily fit in their gym or work bag for delicious drinks on the move, and these can be just as potent as a countertop version.

Now, savvy shoppers can nab the Ninja Blast Max Portable Blender for £63.20, down from its original price of £89.99 at Amazon. This deal is even cheaper than buying directly from the Ninja website, allowing buyers to save a whopping 30 per cent off their purchase.

This blender boasts a host of desirable features and comes in a cool grey shade. Touted as having a more powerful motor than the original Ninja Blast, the Blast Max can blitz and crush frozen ingredients in a matter of seconds.

With three blending functions - crush, smoothie, and manual blend mode - this blender is a fantastic choice for those who fancy a drink on the move. To save even more time, the twist and go design makes it a doddle to blend the drink, then simply twist to remove the cup and enjoy wherever you fancy.

It also has a longer-lasting battery and can be charged in as little as three hours. It can run 25 times on a full charge, reports the Express.

If this isn't the one for everyone, shoppers could instead try the Russell Hobbs Go Create White Jug Blender for £30 from Argos. This has a 1.65 litre capacity, two variable speed settings and pulse functions and is suitable for ice crushing.

Another option is the 500W Grey Table Blenderfor £26.50 from Dunelm. This has a 1.5 litre capacity, has two speed settings, a pulse function, and full copper motor and thermo fuse. Boasting an impressive 4.3 out of five star rating, customers have left their verdicts on the Ninja blender. One buyer said: "Fabulous little blender.

"Really quick and easy to make up fruit drinks of every description. Well made and handles ice no problem. No end to how many drinks you can invent. Love the set programs, which do everything automatically.

"I'd say the battery doesn't quite last as long as advertised before needing to be recharged, but that's only a minor criticism. All in all, a great little hassle-free blender which I would recommend."

A second customer raved: "Brilliant gadget used for making fruit smoothies and protein shakes. Handles ice no problem. Easy to clean and good value for price."

But a few others weren't quite so impressed, with one reviewer saying: "If you're mainly after convenience and portability, it performs well within its limits. Just don't expect it to handle heavy-duty blending tasks."

Another customer complained: "The product description states that this blender is USB Rechargeable, even the Amazon AI told me it is however the charger in the box is not usb and on top of that the charging wall extension is only for certain EU countries which is not compatible with the UK and Ireland electric sockets."

Another said: "The manufacturers have put a lot of attention to detail, and this is a high-quality blender, worth the extra price over the cheaper ones."
