Our verdict

A retro single-serve smoothie maker with a lever, two jars and a stainless steel blade. It runs one speed at a modest wattage, so expect shakes and soft blends rather than heavy crushing.

Overview

Culinary Chef built this retro smoothie maker around a lever that starts and stops the motor, with a power light to show it is ready. Two jars, one plastic and one glass mason jar, come with lids so a finished drink can leave with you.

Retro styling and a lever make it a friendly small-kitchen blender for shakes and smoothies. The limitation is output, since one speed and a modest motor leave little room for thick or icy mixes.

Who it's for

Single servings of shakes, protein drinks and smoothies at a small counter suit a lever blender with travel jars. Shoppers who need several speeds, a large pitcher or heavy ice crushing should look at a stronger machine.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Retro lever operation
  • Two jars with lids
  • Glass mason jar included
  • Power indicator light
Cons
  • Single speed only
  • Modest motor power
  • Small jar sizes
  • Warranty term not listed

Performance notes

The motor spins the stainless steel blade only while the lever is engaged, which makes run time a matter of hand control. A single speed means texture depends on how long the lever is held and how much liquid the jar holds.
