Is 850W enough for crushing ice?

It can crush small amounts of ice with pulses, but it is not built for regular ice crushing. Add liquid and pulse in short bursts, and expect some chunks.

Is the jar glass or plastic?

The jar is glass, 54 oz. That means it is heavier than plastic but less likely to scratch or hold odors.

How many speeds does it have?

It has four speeds plus a variable speed control. That covers basic blending, mixing and pulsing.

Can it blend hot soups?

Only if the jar is rated for hot liquids, which budget glass jars often are not. Let soup cool before blending and vent the lid.

Is it worth it over a Vitamix or Ninja?

It costs far less and suits light blending. A Vitamix or higher-end Ninja will crush ice and frozen fruit more reliably if that is your main use.

What comes in the box?

Typically the motor base, 54 oz glass jar, lid and blade assembly. Check the listing for any extra cups or attachments.

Our take on the JIONJOY 850W Peak Countertop Blender 54oz Glass Jar

The JIONJOY 850W Countertop Blender is a budget countertop blender with a 54 oz glass jar and four speeds plus variable control. Its 850 watts is peak power, not continuous, so expect it to handle smoothies, shakes and light blending better than heavy ice crushing or hot soups. It is a basic, low-cost machine aimed at simple daily jobs rather than all-purpose kitchen duty.
