Homemade to-go smoothies can melt easily even when in an insulated tumbler. Sudden exposure to ambient temperature during the blender-to-tumbler transfer can affect the smoothie’s chilled, frozen state. This is what fueled the popularity of portable, personal blenders. Fridja takes it up a notch with the f600, which doubles as an insulated stainless steel tumbler.
At first glance, this cordless blender looks more like a premium tumbler than a portable kitchen gadget. It’s heavier than its plastic-bonded counterpart, which should give you a sense of its durability. Indeed, it’s made from professional, kitchen-grade 304 stainless steel that doesn’t stain, never retains unwanted odors, and never clouds over time like plastic.
It features an elegant matte black finish and is rated IPX6 for water resistance, which means you can clean it under a tap. f600 offers 500ml of storage in a double-walled stainless steel vacuum flask, which provides efficient insulation that prevents condensation from forming outside. This means drinks stay chilled for hours: Fridja says it keeps smoothies frozen for up to six hours.
This personal blender runs on two USB-C rechargeable 1,500mAh batteries, which provide roughly 10 blends per charge. The batteries power six stainless steel blades that turn at 18,000 rpm, crushing ice into a thick, frozen smoothie in seconds. When it’s time to drink, unscrew the blender head, click on the drinking lid, and sip away.
f600 blends upside down and its blade has its own protective cover. It features a sealed, travel-friendly drinking lid that threads down onto a silicone sealing ring. The push-top spout also locks shut to prevent leaks when storing the blender in a bag. A full-size moulded carry handle also makes it easy to take with you.
