KOIOS Smoothie Blender, 900W Blenders for Kitchen

Random brand, but a high quality & functional blender, with 2 large containers, at a great price.
I’d been looking for a stand-up blender like this to replace a small food processer that I have. While this is designed for making smoothies, I was looking for something to use for making salsas and other sauces. Again, I have a food processer for this, but it’s a pain to clean each time, and I was looking for something smaller and easier to clean after each use. There were so many options, and honestly, after looking at 25+ blenders and the reviews, I got tired of looking and just decided to give this one a try. I’d never heard of the brand, but it had mostly solid reviews, the price was good, it was simple without a lot of features, which is what I was looking for, and I liked that it came with two fairly large containers and lids. I’m glad I went with this. The dimensions were on the listing, but I when it arrived, it was larger than I expected. Not so much the base (it doesn’t’ have a large footprint) but with the container attached, was taller than I thought it would be. However, that’s a good thing, because I found that anything smaller would have been too small, so this was perfect. The fact that it comes with two containers, both with lids, is really nice, in that it makes it quick and easy to do two items in the same instance. The construction and components all seem high quality. Its not quiet, but it’s also not too loud. It’s probably also more powerful than the size would convey, but I wouldn’t try to push it too much. While I bought this for making salsa mainly, in which it does a spectacular job, I have indeed used it for its intended purpose of making smoothies, and no surprise, does this just as well. If you’re on the fence comparing blender options, I’d encourage you to give this brand you’ve likely never heard of a chance, and probable save some money in the process. It’s a basic blender, but it basic blends very well, and won’t take up too much space. I store mine in a cabinet because I don’t like anything on my counters when not in use, however, it looks nice enough, and has a fairly small footprint, so you could just as easily keep it out all the time. This is not a portable model, it does need to be plugged in. When I was looking, many options were portable and needed to be charged in advance. I personally didn’t want that, as I had no intention of whipping up stuff while out and about, and I think the plug in options are more powerful, and don’t require having the foresight to keep anything charged. Anyway, this is a nice blender at a great price. Go for it, and save yourself another 45 minutes of reading reviews.

Best purchase I’ve made for my kid all year
If your kid wants to make smoothies at home – do it. I was happy eating my food not blended, and I’ve owned some not very great food processing machines in my life, so I didn’t know what to look for in a smoothie blender. I was all for it, but expected to figure out what works best by trial and error. I liked the idea of being able to control the speed etc. with a manual dial, and the six leaf blade seemed like a sensible feature as well. I think I picked the right one for us, and don’t think we would have been happier with something more powerful or with more accessories… somehow, we seem to have done it right the first time!My kid LOVE his smoothies, loves to make his own all natural, completely healthy snacks, he cleans the equipment when he’s done (he’s 10), and I don’t have to lift a finger. What a brilliant machine! We’ve had it a month, and it’s great. It doesn’t do a completely thorough job with ice (or frozen juice), and seems to have a harder time getting through ice at first. Maybe it’s just louder, I don’t know. We could try starting with smaller ice chunks, but the kid doesn’t especially like ice anyway, and we love the smoothie maker and don’t want to stress it out, so we mostly avoid ice, just in case. We have a freezer full of berries and exotic fruits now, which we mix with fresh fruit, various juices, milk, ice cream… I’ve even raided the spice rack a few times, though the kid is happiest with just fruit and milk or juice. Oh, and it’s not quiet. But ya know, the child was never quiet before, so the new noise is just another noise to me 😀

Great choice
I love this powerful blender. It chops my fruit and ice with ease where I don’t taste the chia seeds. The functionality is superb how I chopped my fruit and ice then screw off the blades screw on the top and simply stick in my straw. That’s it, that’s all.

Great blender
I use it every morning! Blends great and convenient size!
