- How does it compare with the original Beast blender?
- The Mega 1200 steps up to 1200 watts and a 40 fl oz pitcher, versus the smaller personal-size jars on the original Beast. That makes it better for ice and frozen fruit, but less portable for take-along cups.
- Can it crush ice and frozen fruit?
- Yes. Ice crushing is a listed feature and the 1200-watt motor is in the range that handles frozen fruit, though you should add liquid and load frozen items gradually for a smooth result.
- Is the pitcher dishwasher-safe?
- Yes. The listing states dishwashable parts, so the pitcher and removable pieces can go in the dishwasher. Check the manual for which pieces are top-rack only.
- How big is the pitcher?
- It holds 40 fl oz, about two 20 oz smoothies. That is smaller than full-size kitchen blenders, which often hold 64 oz or more.
- Is the Beast Health Mega 1200 worth it?
- You pay for 1200 watts and a smoothie preset in a compact pitcher. If you mostly make one or two smoothies a day, it covers that well; if you batch blend for a family, the 40 fl oz pitcher is the limit.
- Does it have variable speed or a pulse button?
- No variable speed dial or manual pulse control is listed. You get the smoothie program, so texture is set by the preset rather than by hand.
- Where is the BEAST Beast Health Mega 1200 Countertop Blender cheapest?
- At Target, for $219.99, as of our latest check.
