WantJoin Professional Blender

Is the WantJoin Professional Blender worth buying?

Yes, for anyone who blends frozen fruit, ice and nuts in batches, the WantJoin Professional Blender earns its £98.99. It puts 1,800W behind a 2L container, which works out at 5.5p per watt, and 4,073 owners have rated it 4.3, a review base ten times the size of most machines at this price.

It is a poor fit for a single morning shake. The container is built for batches, the machine stands 50 cm tall, and the jar has to be washed by hand, which is a lot of work for one 400ml drink. If you blend for one, a machine with a travel cup attached is the better buy.

What does 5.5p per Watt actually buy you?

Divide the money by the motor and the answer is 5.5p per watt: £98.99 spread across 30,000 RPM of blending power. The blades are hardened stainless steel and turn fast enough to chop ice in around 10 seconds without adding water, which is the job most buyers want a powerful blender for. The 2L container takes a full family batch in one go.

Five speeds with variable control run from a silky soup to a chunky salsa, and the timer can be set anywhere between 1 and 5 minutes. Set it and the motor stops on its own when the time is up, so a batch of nut butter does not need anyone standing beside it. The jar is BPA free and the blades are stainless steel, so hot soup and frozen fruit both go in the same container.

What comes in the box and how big is it?

You get the motor base, a 2L polycarbonate container with a rubber handle, a tamper and a user manual. Nothing else is needed to start blending. There is no second cup included, so every job runs through the same 2L jar, and the rubber handle matters once that jar is full because 2L of smoothie is heavier than it looks.

The machine measures 50 cm tall on a 20 by 23 cm base and weighs 4.3 kg. It needs clear worktop with headroom above it, and it will not slide under a low wall cupboard. The container is not dishwasher safe, so the routine is warm water, a drop of washing-up liquid and a short run before rinsing the jar by hand.

What are the downsides of the WantJoin Professional Blender?

The cover runs for 1 year, which is the shortest term among the machines worth comparing here. Buyers who blend daily should weigh that against the 2 years on the Reemix 2000W Jug Blender and the Ninja Detect Power Blender. Only one container ships with it as well, so there is no travel cup for a drink on the way to work.

At 50 cm it is a tall appliance, and the 2L polycarbonate jar is hand wash only. That combination asks for worktop space and a few minutes of washing after every batch. The 4.3 rating is solid across 4,073 buyers, but it sits below the 4.7 that the Ninja 2-in-1 Blender carries, so this is a value pick rather than the most loved machine on the shelf.

WantJoin Professional Blender vs Reemix and Ninja: which should you buy?

The Reemix 2000W Jug Blender costs £69.99, which is £29.00 less, and runs a slightly larger 2,000W motor in a 2L Tritan jar with 10 speeds and a 2 year warranty. What it does not have is a timer or a long history: 331 owners have rated it, against 4,073 on the WantJoin. Take the WantJoin when you want a machine thousands of people have already lived with, and the Reemix when the saving and the extra 200W matter more.

The Ninja 2-in-1 Blender costs £104.00, £5.01 more, and drops to 1,200W. In return it adds a 700ml cup with a spout lid and three Auto-iQ programmes, and 5,112 owners rate it 4.7. Buy the Ninja if you want jug batches and single-serve drinks from one base; stay with the WantJoin if the biggest motor inside a large jar is the whole point.
