Until now. I traded the hulking, corded beast for something tiny. Something cordless. The Beast Go Cordless Blender. It looks like an olive oil bottle. Small. Manageable. It stays out. It blends quietly. And it costs less than $100.
What Is This Thing?
Beast launched in 2021. The founder? Same guy who started Nutribullet. Their stuff usually looks like modern art sitting on your kitchen stone. Sleek. Minimal.
This new model is the Go. You get the blade base. A 670-millilITER cup. Drinking lid. Two straws. Cleaning brushes. Oh, they toss in a smaller 640-millILITER cup too. Seven colors. I want the beige. Or the blue-gray. Half of them are sold out though.
Price? $97. Portable blenders are cheap usually. This one bites back. But after testing five different units over three years I can tell you the blades on this thing are vicious.
Does It Work?
Here is the test. Can it handle ice?
Most portable blenders fail. You get chunks. Slush. Occasional solid cubes rattling around in defeat. I didn’t know what Beast could do so I started gentle. Frozen berries. Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries. Easy peasy.
Under 30 seconds it was smooth.
Then came the hard part. Ice. I made a vanilla latte frappe. Full 30 seconds on the clock.
It finished perfectly frothy. No ice chunks. None.
Wait, was that louder than a whisper?
Actually, it was quiet. Surprisingly quiet. I could’ve talked to my fiancé over it. The interface is dead simple. One button. Tap for pulse. Hold for one second to let it run for 30. No menus. No settings.
I am not usually impressed by small blenders. The Go is different. It crushes ice better than my full-size kitchen staple. And it’s wireless. I can take it anywhere this summer.
One button does everything. Tap to pulse, hold to run.
Buy the Beast Go if you hate cleaning your counter. Or just want decent frappe power on the go.
