This blender isn't just for smoothies — use it to whip up cozy small-batch soups this season. (Amazon)(Amazon)
Ever crave a smoothie, but the thought of hauling out your big 'ol blender is enough to make you reconsider? Yeah, us too. Lifting a heavy appliance onto the counter to make one drink (not to mention the cleanup) seems unnecessary, but thousands of Amazon shoppers have found a better way. The Ninja Blast Portable Blender weighs less than 2 pounds and holds just enough for a single serving. But the coolest part? It's battery-powered, meaning you can whiz up refreshing beverages on the go. The other coolest part? It's on sale for just $50.
Why keep tripping over shampoo bottles when these handy shower shelves exist? This popular set claims to hold up to 40 pounds (that's a lot of gel, conditioner and body wash) and comes with five storage racks in different sizes for all your bathtime essentials. All you need to do is apply the included adhesive to stick 'em on the wall. This deal drops the price by 50%, so grab a set for every bathroom.
A top-selling Roomba that's down to $129 — nearly its lowest price ever? I'll take two! This'll zap up all of that dust and debris on your floor while you relax on the sofa — nothing wrong with that. It runs for up to 120 minutes before heading back to its charging dock, and you can even schedule cleanings via the app.
An air fryer is just the ticket when you want a hot meal without turning on the oven. This top-rated model heats up quickly and holds up to 2.5 pounds of fries or 14 wings at a time. Plus, it can be used to dehydrate food, proof bread and even bake desserts. This deal brings it down to just $2 more than its all-time low.
"How did I manage life without this air fryer?" mused a happy home cook. "It’s awesome! It holds plenty for two adults, and we've had fun cooking all sorts of different food in it! I’ve been making crispy apple chips for a snack … just as good as the expensive ones you can purchase at the grocery store!"

Bigger isn't always better, and this compact crusher is proof. It weighs less than 2 pounds and holds just enough for a single serving. But the coolest part? It's battery-powered, meaning you can whiz up refreshing beverages on the go. Designed to fit in most cupholders, this blitzer can accompany you on road trips, to the gym, the office ... just about anywhere. Toss in your ingredients and blend away en route to work — that'll give you a few more minutes of shut-eye in the morning.
It's only dipped lower than its current price by $5, and not very often.
Snag it in gray, green, pink or this pretty blue!
Our price trackers tell us that, aside from Prime Day, this is the lowest this mini appliance has ever sold for, and because Ninja is such a respected brand, you know you're getting a quality product. Plus, making your own smoothies is a lot more affordable than daily visits to the local juice bar.
Designed to fit in most cupholders, the Ninja Blast Portable Blender can accompany you on road trips, to the gym, the office ... just about anywhere. Toss in your ingredients and blend away en route to work — that'll give you a few more minutes of shut-eye in the morning. It has a built-in handle for easy carrying, and despite its small stature, it's strong enough to crush frozen ingredients in a matter of seconds.
There's no need to bring an extra cup along; the blending container doubles as a drinking vessel. Cleanup is a snap since the vessel and sip lid are dishwasher-safe, and when it's low on juice (in the battery sense), just power it back up with the included USB cable.
More than 3,400 Amazon customers think you should give this pint-sized purée master a whirl.
"I use it for protein shakes for my morning commute to the gym," wrote one satisfied shopper. "[Thirty] seconds later, it's ready to go. Once at the gym, it's easy to disassemble and clean before I hit the floor for a workout. Very satisfied with its ability/power to crush the ice cubes when making my shakes and the fact that I can plug it in using the USB in my car. Definitely will take it with me on trips when staying at a hotel."
"I didn't think a battery-operated blender would blend frozen berries," admitted a convert. "You have to shake it, but it does! Lots of comments from my coworkers [about] this. Everyone wants one ... I don't have time for an actual breakfast in the morning. Bringing a shake with me to start my day really makes a difference in how I feel by lunchtime. Extremely easy to clean! Long-lasting battery life. A game-changer."
"I was looking for a convenient and effective blender, and this one is just perfect," raved a third buyer. "It’s aesthetically pleasing and so easy to carry around. ... My biggest concern was that it wouldn't fully blend frozen fruits, but I was so surprised [by] how quickly it blended them. As I drank from it, there were no clumps at all."
You won't get Vitamix power here, shoppers caution. "Bought this for my husband who has to wake up at 4 a.m. and doesn't want to run the blender and wake the kiddos," shared a thoughtful spouse. "He loves it. He puts in his ingredients before getting ready (frozen fruit) and then when he leaves, he'll run it in his car or office, which gives the fruit time to semi-soften for the blender." Their one note? "It is rechargeable, therefore it doesn't have all the power of a large plug-in blender, which is expected."
"I wish the glass cup was detachable from the mechanical part, as it is bulky to handle when drinking straight from the container," wrote a final fan. Still, they added, "I love how easy it is to use ... I can make it at my desk anytime."
