Bear Countertop Blender 1000W Review & Test | Professional Smoothie Blender for Shakes and Smoothies

I decided to update my old blender with this model and boy am I glad that I did. I like the safety features of this blender - it won't even turn on unless the glass top is locked into place. Once you've got the top on you just turn the knob to get going. My old blender just had three buttons for selecting the speed. This one has a knob where you can ramp up the speed through a huge range. I love that, just so simple. I make protein shakes after working out and having that selection knob is great. When you add protein powder to milk you tend to get a protein powder "dust" floating everywhere if the blender is too aggressive. With the control knob though you can turn the blender way down when you first start mixing to minimize dust and then really crank it up once everything is in solution. There are buttons though for selecting different modes (fruit, cleaning, and ice crushing). The motor is really powerful, so I have no problem crushing ice and blending fruit for smoothies.

You do need to be careful as the blades are pretty sharp. That can make cleaning by hand a challenge. I've generally been using the self-cleaning mode though. You just add hot water, a drop or two of dish soap, and switch it to the cleaning function and it does a great job of cleaning itself! Just rinse it out really well afterward.

Overall I have been really pleased with the function and quality of this blender and would recommend it to others.
