#blenders #blenderx #ninjablender - Jak na to + styl
Yeah, I liked having more videos this week, but I think I like the longer videos more, personally. Still thanks for all you do James! 😉👍
Couldn't agree more, very well said...
Ditto
same here
I agree
Longer videos were better
Imagine if a power tool company like Milwaukee or Makita made a cordless blender powered by 18v tool batteries.
they should would be a great blender
@@dragonflydazzlewhisper1169 I know right.
One of those companies, can't remember which one off the top of my head but maybe Makita, makes a one cup coffee brewer that runs on their power tool batteries
@@amandasquire5342 that is makita
To me the best part of this is the portable situation and low wattage. It ain't easy powering the powerful blenders over a small generator or solar battery solution for your RV or glamping setup.
Who could possibly survive out in nature without a proper blender? Absolute madness I tell you
@@ConorHil Zeus
Definitely prefer longer videos because I watch them in bed before I fall asleep so it's great to relax to but as stated in different comments, the abundance of videos has been good
That considered - definitely longer vids for myself
I picked the Blendjet a long time ago after your review of it because I liked the portability of it and after a while I stoped using it because I got tired of its weak blending and I just recently picked up the Ninja (BN401) 1100 watt countertop blender and I’d say what it lacks in portability it makes up in power and perfect smoothies every time. #NotAnAd
Loving these mini reviews😍
Hey. You probably already know this but check your PO Box objects before you leave the post office. Apparently people are putting tracking devices inside products to see where CZcamsrs live.
They only need to read the address label you plonker.
@@grahamjohnson4702 what? You’re kidding, right? Please tell me you’re a troll and not legitimately that dumb. 😂 you do realize that he drives HOME after getting the packages from the post office box, right? You understand that post office boxes are used to provide anonymity so he doesn’t have to disclose his HOME ADDRESS… right? 😂 read the label he says. 😂 oh man 🤦♂️
but how would you do that? By opening all the package you receive in the post office? i mean... this man probably get like dozens of package every days (like otehrs such as Crazyrussianhacker and else)...
You definitly need a place to open theses. and you can't do that anywhere else then your home.
beside that. what would be the point to know where a youtuber live? It's not like it's a anonymous guy anyway as he is a member of a rock band XD
Well, since we’re talking about video frequency, etc. , both the short, single product reviews and the multiple product comparisons have merits. For example, each has James, who is worth watching because he is thorough, and gives useful analysis. Perhaps to improve monetization, you could just toss in more unsolicited items with less editing, say maybe three times per week, and then do your one big multiple product review every ten days or so. Just a thought. I do appreciate your longer multi item videos, because your unique way of comparison and your humor are shown to better effect. 🤔
I loved the extra videos were so nice for this week but man I wish you would have made them longer so I could have watched more.. that’s my only complaint.
Definitely need a long term review of this device, to see the battery life.
However, first impressions, definitely something of a portable blender if you someday have a road trip somewhere and want to make smoothies or something.
LOL, K-tel “records and tapes” thats a flash back to the 70’s-80’s. Very subtle.
We liked the change of pace with the "testing unsolicited items" videos but look forward to your regular schedule. Maybe you can do it once a year to mix things up. A big Spring time unsolicited item series every year? :)
I was loving the blender until you said "$129.00 price tag" 😢 Oh my 😮
Great review as always!
Might as well get a ninja for that price
@@Ashes_to_Ashes628 Nah. Might as well save another $100 and get a Vitamix. Better by several orders of magnitude.
@@gmansplit cant afford a vitamix but I'm happy with my ninja blenders. Its blends everything nice and smooth.
Freakin review Sunday!
I really like this new series I think maybe you should toss one in per week as a bonus !
These reviews have the most dad sounds, grunts, and loud exhales. Must be good info for sure 😎
I don't have the counter top to hold all of these gadgets. At the price I wouldn't pay that
anyway. Seems to me it set back technology a few years. The portable feature some
people probably would love and pay for it. Always love your reviews. I put you on my
community page sort of as a shout out. Until the next video, later James and thanks 😊🤗
I am diZzy with excitement as to the mix of videos you've been feeding us. 100 points awarded. You are a good human. Cheers!
I absolutely LOVE your Al Bundy shirt!
I HAVE TO HAVE ONE!
Married With Children was one of my FAVORITE shows as a kid!!
0:27 ahh the volcano 😂 a fellown man of culture I see
been a surprising number of solid products in this round of mail time.
You scored 4 touchdown in the same game?! Way to go Peg!
ANOTHER GOOD VID LIKE THIS.THE LAST ONE WAS WORTH IT.I WOULD LIKE IT PORTABLE MYSELF.BRAVO.
Dude that mini cup is perfect for cleaning the blades after you finish blending something and take the tumbler with you for your drink. I wish my Oster Myblend had a mini cup for cleaning the blades like that.
Hello James, I have saw the other battery powered blender called Regenerate portable blender on Amz just right below the blender X one, is it possible for u to review that one as well? Sincerely, Tom
I saw the Regenerate Blender too, it is also cheaper and have much larger capacity, I just don’t know if it will perform better tho..
Really makes me want a smoothie!!
Loved these tysm!!
I've been watching you for ages and just noticed that I was not subscribed! 😳
People that watch you often should check, seriously, you might be missing subscribers simply because we assumed we subscribed at some point.
Keep it up!
I'd like to hear a side by side comparison with the blendjet 2 that's my portable blender of choice
It is seeing reviews like this that make me happy I have a Vitamix.
Really liked this series, it's cool to have often uploads. However, idk of this is better for the monetization or the algorithm
Maybe you could do a week once a month or every couple months where you have multiple vids. both ways have their pros and cons
whatever you choose I'll keep watching! :)
These short mail videos have been an interesting segment, but I miss the full length videos. 8 minutes is not enough 😁
#TWSS
It was a fun series!
I like the short form videos. Not more than your full length reviews but I would lean into the podcast/clips demographic with these shorter ones
Hey there. You did a Blendjet 2 review some time back. (I did buy one actually and love it). How do you compare this product to that one?
My question also!
Way better than the bullet! It may be larger but if I needed a portable blender then I'd much prefer the BlenderX. Mostly because it actually works.
Cool blender x commercial. It almost had the feel of your review videos.
I wonder what if DeWalt or Milwaukee made a battery operated blender, 100% they would make it better.
Just use a clean spade bit in a cup and don't touch the sides or bottom 🤣
@@SMS2884 That's hilarious. Probably the best laugh I'll have all day.
that Al Bundy Shirt!!!
4 touchdowns in a single game hehehe
Noooo I love this little series
I'd be interested in battery life. This is REALLY abusive to the batteries. To be as small and light as it is, it doesn't have many batteries in it. Trying to draw 260 watts from such a small battery will heat them us significantly. I doubt it will take a hundred charge cycles.
you should see how much power rc motors pull out of batteries that would fit in that housing
I’d wager that’s enough tho, most people don’t have to use a blender that often much less portable so gets by on low use
perhaps it has some capacitors that it charges and uses as a buffer to get over the motor's stall voltage/current requirements without directly straining the battery.
although considering how it didn't seem to have a pulse cooldown maybe not
@@shadowwarrior97 All this crap is built to a price.
@@tarstarkusz 🇺🇦
I remember when I was a bit younger, all I wanted was the Magic Bullet, and finally my parents got one for me (crazy expensive). It worked well for a while till I started to notice some brown/orange flakes at the bottom of my smoothies and then that escalated to some brown liquid always being left inside the blender part. Finally, it dawned on me that the part with the blades was taking in liquid, the components were rusting on the inside, and that rust was getting into my drink (good source of iron I guess!).
So I won't ever return to these portable or quick-and-easy types of blenders. Way too expensive for potentially shoddy craftsmanship. Not to say that this blender is shoddy, but is sure does have a similar design.
Good feedback.. thanks for letting us know. You just stopped me from buying one
@@AverageReviewsYT no problem! I would definitely recommend getting an immersion blender instead (if that suits your needs). I only used it for making protein shakes and never used it to blend ice, so an immersion blend worked really well for mixing milk/bananas/protein powder etc. Of course if you need to blend ice I would suggest spending the extra money on a good standing blender.
@@cahebding what an immersion blender
The Al Bundy shirt makes this video soar
I'm a bit ashamed to admit that, I as a full grown adult have never once in my life plugged in a device without using it immediately. I bought a blender because I impulsively wanted to make a smoothie and pretend to be healthy. Glad to know that's a thing.. would explain a lot of my dead appliances over the years. Cheers!
Cool T-shirt!!
I may have to get one for glamping. The ultimate luxury for roughing it.
James you should do 5 videos in a row again. I enjoyed watching them.
It always makes me happy when a product does well. 🙂
like the longer videos , bring those back
Most of the blenders out there work fine, some more, some less. But it's always annoying that they have to be so loud.
Great video!
They have reduced noise blenders for coffee shops or stores where noise is a concern. You can purchase them.
A K-tel T-shirt in the wild!
That Bundy shirt is awesome.
Compete and lose but compete. As in yeah it will do the job if I don't have access to the countertop models. Seems fair.
As soon as he put the spinach in, my thought was "that's gonna turn brown". (I used to work as a VitaMix demonstrator and I got reeeeeal good at recognizing foods that don't look good together. Carrots and spinach never went together unless I was making something chocolate or the apple pie ice cream.
Hmmmm... not as brown as I thought it'd be. More of an ick green.
i have the vitamix creations 2 i found on Mercari for a good deal. is that a pretty good unit?
@@MrScubajsb @Scuba J I couldn't say anything specifically about that unit. I only worked with the home machines, and I think that might be a commercial unit. Truth be said though, they're all pretty much the same thing with different Bells and whistles.
Actually, just looked it up before posting this. It seems to be pretty much the 5200. There are nicer newer vitamix's now, but it's still probably the machine more people have than any other of their line. The only reason I upgraded from it was because I got a free one from the company.
@@AustynSN awesome thank you!
@@MrScubajsb Some advice I just thought about. If you decide to get any attachments for it, some newer stuff will work with the old machines, but some won't. Newer stuff will all generally be labeled "Self Detect". If a container is 64 oz, then you can only use if it's the "classic container". The shorter 64-oz (Self detect and otherwise) will work on your machine, but may burn out the motor because the wider base on the newer 64-oz containers is for newer machine with more powerful motors. (Basically, if your machine came with a tall classic 64-oz or smaller than 64-oz container, don't use the wide base.) The 32 and 48 oz containers will ALL work with your machine. (And pretty much ANY Vitamix made since the 50s or 60s. This includes the special "AER" and dry blade containers. I think the metal container would work too since it's 48-oz, but not certain. Those were introduced after my time with the company. If you want personal blending on the same base, you'll have to get the "Personal Cup Adapter". It's a bit cumbersome, but has to be for legal/safety reasons. The "Self Detect" personal blade base won't even fit your machine. However, if you need extra 20-oz cups for the PCA, the self detect 20-oz cups will work, but don't put the 8-oz on there for safety reasons. The food processor attachment also won't work with your machine, but I have it and to be honest, it's not the greatest food processor. (The "Self Detect" is a safety feature that controls the max speed and time limit of newer containers, as well as preventing the machine from running without newer containers. They basically made it so that the newer machines could use containers the consumer products safety commission wouldn't allow on a machine that always starts when you hit the switch.)
And for anybody else reading this who has a newer machine with "Self Detect" (Ascent or Venturist), You can use all "Self Detect" containers, but ONLY Self "Detect Containers".
(The machines with "Self Detect" can also work with a app called "Perfect Blend" to run the machine with around 17 automated settings for the standard blending containers and some for the mini and dry blades. However, last I heard from somebody still with the company, Vitamix had a falling out with the smart scale company that makes the app so there won't be any more updates for newer containers.)
@@AustynSN thank you so much for the info!
Hey! In the future especially for portable blenders can you try and see if a mason jar will fit in it in replacement of the container it came in?
A lot of blenders you can use a mason jar but a lot you can't as well. It would be a great thing to check out as a lot of us have a ton of mason jars which would make it so we have a ton of containers already for the product.
I like the idea but high speed blades and glass worry me. Mason jars arent really designed for that
@@Gillysaurxx There is no issues using a mason jar. There is tons of blenders that use glass for the container just fine. People have been using mason jars with blenders for over a decade lol.
@@Gillysaurxx almost every blender I grew up with where glass =b
@@Gillysaurxx my family's everyday blender is with a glass. after I messed up my moms old blended I bought her a new one but like always our golden rule is no plastic always glass..
I honestly wish companies such as NINJA would use glass over plastic my sister owns a NINJA it's a damn good single use blender but no no no I just hate the plastic it would rate a 100 for me if it had glass but because of the plastic's I have to take a few points off🤷👎😅
I prefer the longer videos with you testing multiple things.
This does put a smile on my face-Thanos
Ngl, "portable blenders" are just so niche in practical use.
Like, unless you are put in a situation where "I gotta drink this now", then I don't find any practical use in having a portable blender.
99.9% of the time, the ingredients are in my house, and I can prepare them while at home.
+ most of the time, I want to have what I'm blending in larger volumes, and as such I really like bigger blenders.
The only real feature (which some blenders already had anyway) is the ability to just put a cap on the bottle and take it on the go.
Otherwise, the smaller volume + weaker motor just doesn't justify to me the ability to blend things outside of having a socket.
He says-mm..carrots and spinach 😂🤣😂
Epic al bundy shirt lol
THANKS For the Review Boss man!!! How does this COMPARE to the Blendjet 2 ??
Props for the Al Bundy shirt at the end
Any plans to do robot vacuums review in future?
If i may put a small suggestion here...
You should give a try/test to Cats product, gadget or else.
If i remember good, you have a cat (Shadow i think is it's name). And it's always interresting to see cats gadget because cats are way more resilient than dogs when it's about having fun or using something like it should be.
also, i think it may be nice for people who like cats and not much dogs and a nice little change for Bailey.
I don't hate Baily at all XD, and i like seeing her. But i m justs uggesting this as there is some cats lovers around here and you tried gadgets for dogs, so why not for cats :D
just a suggestion again, no obligation.
Much better than that flimsy portable blender which couldn't blend even the ice.
What do you do with the products after you review them? I’d totally buy that blender.
How many times can you use it on 1 charge?
Without garantee, i would say as much as the small blender he tried before.. wich is a rough 30 cycles. (but cycles were like 5 to 8 minutes if i remember good.) As there is no specific cycles here, i think it would be judged by the owner himself, so it may have a variation of half an hour or something.
Really the best part of this video was the Al Bundy T-shirt!
I’m sticking with my ninja. Make your drink then take it outside. 😁
My only issue with the video is.
1 if traveling with the blender if the button is pressed does the blade spind with out the cup attached.
2. What is the run time and does it out turn off at a time.
Points for the K-tel shirt
You should test battery powered pole saws. You can try it out on that palm tree in your backyard. Hint hint.
Very impressive for a portable blender
Try out the Ninja Foodie Neverstick Pan!
I would drink an egg milkshake before I would touch a carrot and spinach smoothie
I own one of these made by Popbabies and it works pretty well.
Can you make video about what’s the best portable blender
Nice
How is it when I need a particular thing. It shows up as a topic in your video??
Curious if all the testing showed was done on one charge?
AL BUNDY GANG RISE UP!
How long will the battery last on a full charge?
I like it better when you review 2 or more items at a time, but there are times that I would like shorter videos. Please note I am in my 60's
I wished you tested battery time or how many blends before a recharge.
$20-$25 for that and I'd buy it right now.
$120... no way ever. For that, I'd buy a mobile battery that has A/C and D/C outputs and just use my badass countertop blender. LOL
Did you say how long a full charge will last?
How long the battery would last?
Is it portable in a practical practical way? How much does it weigh?
WHERE did you get the Al Bundy shirt?? I WANT that....would match my Polk High 33 Bundy jersey. As for the blender, nope....expensive paperweight when the battery won't hold a charge. If it had a plug or replaceable batteries then yea, but as is? No way.
James PLEASE tell me you see this haha....I said no way I would own it and this bot is trying to scam me with the promise of a free one🤣🤣
Do blendjet 2 vs blender x next
I was waiting to see how long the battery was going to last after being fully charged
Should consider price and availability of extra cups I think
Heavy is generally good for something with an electric motor.
Off grid, but needs to be charged?
At 7:20 it would have been hilarious if the blender didn't spin up cause oh. Idunno.. It wasn't connected to WiFi lol one day maybe.
looks like something you would do dabs out of
I’d consider getting this if not for the $120 price.
"What does that chunk want?"

With this video Marathon that you have done I'm sure you're getting editing fatigue.
How good is it to render 3D graphics?
not much, considering you can only put 2 carrots and 1 banana in half in it.. LOL. Not much pixel torender anyway...
