We can't deny how unpredictable the weather in Singapore can be. One moment it is raining and the next moment it is so sunny. But no matter how hot or chilly the weather is, one thing I enjoy having is some cold smoothie.
As this is the fasting month, my mum and I like preparing some drinks for the family when we break our fast when the sun sets. Today, it is not gonna be a post on diy or recipe but it is a post to introduce this awesome personal blender that would come in really handy at any time of the day or season.
TADA! Introducing the Naturai Personal Blender (NPB600i).
PS: The background was too crowded so I edited it. *winks*
This is how the packaging looks like. It comes in 2 different colours, green and red. This was a gift from my aunt and she got me the green one and I'm really loving the whole look.
Some details of the product that is found on the packaging.
It's been a week since my aunt got me this personal blender and I finally decided to use it today. My dad's friend had sent some mangoes from India and let me tell you mangoes from India got to be the best. Whenever the season comes we get a box full of them have mango feast that will last for about 2-3 weeks. So, my mum wanted to cut them but realized it was too soft. boooo!
That's when we decided to make a smoothie and finally check out the blender.
It comes in 2 different sizes, 600ml and 300ml. All you have to do is put in any fruits or vegetables of your choice.
If you like add some milk and honey for a creamy taste. I do not have an exact measurement, I just poured according to my feel. I was using low fat milk.
Then you fasten the blending blade to the bottle and place it on the machine.
This is the most simple step. Just hold the pulse button until the ingredients are fully combined. I think the whole product looks too cute.
The best part about this product is that you do not have to transfer it to another glass or bottle to chill it in the fridge.
Simply replace the blending tool cap with the bottle cap. Doesn't that make your life so much easier?
This blender is specially for making smoothies or juices and not for designed to blend any meat, dough or mashed potatoes. I have been using the blender that my mum uses to make sauces and chutney to make smoothies. It is rather inconvenient because of the extra washing so that the remaining traces of the spices won't stick to my smoothie ingredients.
I was really happy and grateful that my aunt got this for my as I have been saving to get this blender that I saw in Tangs. If I am not wrong, I saw it for $80 but I must say it is a reasonable price because of the whole concept and convenience. Moreover, it comes in 2 different sizes allowing you to make 2 different smoothies at the same time with minimal time and water wastage. If you are staying in Singapore, look out for any sale from John Little/Tangs/Robinsons because I am sure they will be selling it at a cheaper price. Plus it comes with a 1-year warranty.
I found this user manual online just in case you couldn't understand how this works.
If you are staying outside of Singapore, I found some similar machines that can be found in Target or Amazon.com. Check out the links below.
I would like to mention that no one paid me to do this. Even though I am using it for the first time, I personally felt that this was an adorable and useful product that people would enjoy using because of its convenience.
Update (6 October 2013): I have been using this blender for about 3 months already. Although usage is not high, it is working really well for me and the multi-purpose function is still so awesome!
If you were to travel and wanted to bring a smoothie making machine, this would definitely be an ideal choice. It is also a great gift idea for your loved ones or anyone who loves making smoothies.
So, get yourself one now and make some smoothies!

DeleteThank you for introducing this unique blender. I wanted to buy a similar tokebi blender from Korea but its not available in Singapore. The best blendtec so far i recommend is Blendtec blender from http://BlenderSingapore.com
ReplyDeleteHello, thank you for your recommendation. I've seen a number of videos from Blendtec and I am really tempted to get one. But this one is very compact and I hope you will find a similar one that you really like! (:
DeleteHi! Have you ever tried it with veggies? Does it work? Currently Groupon is having a promo I am not so sure whether I should get it or not.
ReplyDeleteHello! My mum had been into juices lately and she had tried it with beet root, carrots and tomatoes as well. It works just as well! You can consider getting it because it's really convenient and washing is not much of a hassle compared to normal blenders (: isit the same one?
Deletehi, did your mum filter the beetroots and carrots or was that a smoothie?
DeleteHello, my mum manually filters the juice after blending them because that's how my family prefers to consume it. But it is really up to your preference. I have tried making smoothies using this blender as well. Hope this helps (:
DeleteI don't find this in Tangs or Robinsons. Where else is it selling in Singapore?
ReplyDeleteHello! I am not sure if they are still carrying this product but you can check at Mayer Outlets. I saw one in Plaza Singapura quite some time back. Here is the link: http://www.mayer.sg/index.php/products/small-domestic-appliance/naturai/personal-blender-detail Hope this helps! (:
DeleteHi! I'm very keen to get this but just wondering if it's still working after a year and if there are any rust issues? ^^
ReplyDeleteHello! I've been using this regularly for the past year and I did not encounter any issues with it. No rust issues as well! I would definitely recommend (:
DeleteThank you so much for your reply! In case anyone else keen of getting, Mayer (at Plaza Singapura) is having sale for this item till end of this month - $49.90 instead of $59.90 (I think the price has gone down...).

ReplyDeleteGreat share, i was always looking forward to buy smoothie blender and this guide helped me a lot, i also referred commercial blenders for smoothies with frozen fruit along with this article and i hope it helps
ReplyDeleteYou know your projects stand out of the herd. There is something special about them. It seems to me all of them are really brilliant! cheap stand mixer
ReplyDeleteHorizontal single auger juicers, these are the simple single screw or auger juicers that offer 'masticating' style juicing in which the produce is 'chewed' up and pressed against a perforated juicing screen, the juice flows through the screen and the pulp is held back and pumped out of the front of the juicer. Cold press juicers online
ReplyDeleteNice post! This is a very nice blog that I will definitively come back to more times this year! Thanks for informative post. Good commercial blender India
