![]() In all cases, the blender was very quiet, peaking at 75.7dB on maximum speed while mixing my smoothie. The blender hadn’t done very well with the coconut chips, though, since these were largely whole in the mixture. Pouring it out into a glass, I could see that the mint wasn’t as finely cut as it is using other blenders, such as the Ninja Foodi Power Nutri Blender 3-in-1 with Smart Torque & Auto-iQ 1200W CB350UK.ĭrinking it, the fruit was largely dealt with, with only a few smaller pineapple chunks. So, I turned to the manual controls to give the mix an extra blitz. I used the Smoothie programme to do this automatically, but found that there were still quite a few chunks remaining in the mixture. ![]() I then moved on to my smoothie test, using pineapple junks, coconut milk, yoghurt, ice, coconut chips and mint leaves. Although the blender is technically capable of the job, the cup doesn’t provide a lot of room, so the lower ice cubes were crushed, but the top ones became stuck where they were, leaving large lumps in tact. I started my tests by trying to crush ice, using the maximum speed setting. When I first unpacked the Millo Smart Portable Blender, I found a sticker on the blades saying that it isn’t suitable for dry ingredients, so you definitely can’t grind herbs or spices in this model. The base should only be cleaned with a damp cloth. Millo is also planning to release a coffee grinder that will attach to the same base, further expanding the system.īoth the cup and travel lid are dishwasher-safe, but the blade assembly should be washed by hand. Using the app will allow upgrades in the future, with new modes and smarter firmware. This provides the same range of controls, although since they’re labelled here it’s a bit clearer to see what you’re selecting. If you prefer, there’s a smart app that connects to theblender via Bluetooth. The three other LEDs are programmed for individual blender modes: Silent (the blender runs slower and more quietly), Smoothie and Pulse. The row of 12 is used to select a manual speed, and you just swipe your hand up to set the motor power. Tap the base anywhere and a set of LEDs will light up. Once the cup is in place, you can use the on-body controls. It’s very futuristic, although I found it a little fiddly to line up the cup with the base so that it was recognised: it takes a little practice to get things right. Magnets then drive the blades, without the need for physical contact. To use the blender, you attach the blades to the 500ml travel cup (this also has a travel lid), which magnetically attaches to the base. ![]() This model uses a Magnetic Air Drive, so there’s nothing exposed on the base, which makes it easy to wipe down. I’m quite taken with the Millo Smart Portable Blender’s design. ![]() It’s worth pointing out that you need a 60W charger or higher, and a suitable one is provided in the box. I’m not particularly convinced that you’d want to travel with this model, viewing the integrated battery as more a feature of convenience, so you can use it without wires in your kitchen. The blades come in a travel container with a screw-on lid. It has an integrated battery that charges via USB-C, and which will last for around 15 cycles. Design and featuresĪs the name states, the Millo Smart Portable Blender is designed to be portable. Performance isn’t as good as I’d hoped, particularly given that this blender is expensive. Throw in some neat-looking controls and an app, and this battery-powered blender is quite different to other models on the market. Rather than use an exposed motor base to drive the blades, it uses a Magnetic Air Drive, so no part of the motor is exposed. The Millo Smart Portable Blender is a different type of blender. ![]()
