The Homexup compact blender is designed with a focus on high spatial efficiency, making it a practical choice for crowded countertops or office desks. Tests show that the unit features a 300W motor and a 17 oz blending jar with a wall thickness of approximately 2.2mm. While this thickness is standard for personal blenders, the materials are rated for daily household use rather than heavy impact resistance.
The design includes a threaded blade assembly that allows for easy access to the underside of the 304 stainless steel blades, which helps with routine cleaning. However, specifications indicate that the motor is best suited for 30-second bursts. Processing frozen items for longer periods may lead to the internal thermal fuse tripping to prevent overheating.
Functional features and maintenance tips for this unit include:
- Utilizing the threaded assembly for thorough cleaning of the blade base.
- Operating in short pulses to manage motor temperature.
- Monitoring the silicone gasket, as it is a non-serviceable part that ensures the unit remains leak-free.
Specifications indicate that the blending jar is made of BPA-free plastic; however, to maintain the clarity of the material and prevent micro-cracks, it is advisable to avoid high-heat dishwasher cycles. The unit produces a notable high-pitch resonance during operation, which is a common characteristic of thin-walled housings in this power class.
For those who prefer a blender with a larger capacity and a different motor configuration, the Mueller Personal Blender offers an alternative 15 oz setup.
