It’s under $30 and comes with a lot of stuff: three different-size jars, two screw-on lids, and one sip lid. Magic Bulletįor this 2021 update, we tested the Magic Bullet and found there’s nothing magical about it. Still, the Sboly is a solidly built personal blender that’s worth your consideration. The only downside is that the jar’s 2-¼ inch mouth prevented us from simply adding ingredients directly from a measuring cup. It’s just a couple of books more than the Black + Decker, but it has slightly more power (300 watts) and blended our smoothie in a mere 10 seconds.ĭimension-wise, the Sboly is virtually identical to the Fusion Blade, but the big difference is that the jar is made from Tritan, a BPA-free plastic that resembles glass, but it doesn’t shatter and holds up its appearance after frequent dishwashings. Also great under $30: SbolyĪ real contender for besting our under $30 pick, the Black + Decker – Fusion Blade is the Sboly personal blender. On the downside, its 2 ½ inch opening made making shakes a little bit messier to clean up on average - but that opening shouldn’t be enough to shy you away from a purchase decision if you’re looking for a solid, reliable blender you can use day in and day out. In addition, the Black+Decker has a two-year limited warranty, a year longer than the rest of the cheaper models. Powered by the most powerful motor of the lower-cost models at 275 watts, the Black+Decker blended our difficult concoction in just under one minute. If you don’t want to throw down $90+ for a blender, the Black+Decker – PB1002 Fusion Blade is the best bang for your buck, performing solidly at right around $25. Best under $30: Black+Decker – Fusion Blade The Ninja is about 20 bucks less than the Nutribullet, and if you don’t mind the smaller cup size, it’s a great alternative. It’s a snap to clean with a quick rinse or you can pop it into the dishwasher. The Ninja’s slim design won’t take up much countertop real estate and can be stored in a cabinet if you don’t want to keep it out on display. The jar’s mouth is 3 inches in diameter - compared to the Nutribullet’s 3-⅞ inches - but we had no problem adding ingredients as we did with most of the other personal blenders we tested.

Two blender jars with sip lids are included, each 16 ounces. With 700 watts, it also blended everything to the smoothest texture in just 8 seconds. The Ninja – QB3001SS performed the best of the four personal blenders we tested for this 2021 update. It’s a bit loud, but nothing out of the ordinary for such a powerful blender. The wide base also makes it easy to make shakes without mess and also clean up without pain. The power makes blending fun, too - it might not make you healthier by default, but if it’s more enjoyable to do, it may make you more likely to reach for a smoothie than a sandwich. The bullet’s blending speed, at 12.47 seconds, is almost five times better than the group average of 58 seconds.

The NutriBullet Pro 900 is the best combination of every nice-to-have feature in one package - and at a price much more affordable than the Vitamix S30, which comes in at 3x the cost: $375 to the NutriBullet’s $91 at the time of this writing.
