Is $55.69 a good price for this blender?

It is the best new price among six stores as of November 8, 2026, and sits at the low end of its recent range. Waiting is unlikely to save much unless a holiday sale undercuts it.

Can it crush ice and frozen fruit?

Commercial Chef rates it for ice-crushing and frozen fruit, and 1000 watts is enough for small loads. Use the Power Blend or Pulse mode and add liquid so the blades keep moving.

The jar holds 28 oz, which is one large smoothie or two smaller servings. It is a single jar, so you blend in batches for more.

What is the difference between Smart Blend, Power Blend and Pulse Blend?

Smart Blend runs a preset cycle for everyday smoothies, Power Blend runs longer and faster for frozen or tough ingredients, and Pulse gives short bursts you control.

What comes in the box?

The blender unit, the 28 oz jar, a lid and a manual. No extra cups or travel lids are listed.

How does it compare with a NutriBullet?

It offers more power on paper (1000 W) and a larger 28 oz jar at a lower price, but NutriBullet has a longer track record and more cup and lid options. Choose this one for budget and capacity.
