Has anyone used this product: https://blendjet.com/? I am looking for a juicer and this one looks really good, but wanted to know if someone is using it (or has used it) about their experience? Is it worth the money? Or do you have other recommendations? I am looking for something similar to the product shared above, but not looking for a full fledged juicer setup.

Sounds interesting. I’m interested to know as well. ☝️

I've been looking for a portable blender too. Not sure if the one you linked is a reliable brand but I've seen a lot of similar products on amazon and they have terrible reviews. AliExpress is banned otherwise there are some really good ones available there.

Yeah, the product looks good, but 13K+ reviews and all 5 star 🙄 Hmm, that is making me think twice about this product 👀
k
13k reviews on their own site? Yeah, totally legit. 😂

Have been using it for 6+ months. Haven't faced any issues yet, and it does what it is advertised.

That is good to know, @many-intern-37109. How long did it took deliver? and what about the customer support?
m
Haha, it did take some time to deliver. Probably a month. But it was during the Pandemic + December festive season.

I ordered it few years back, didn't arrive even after 3 months. Also didn't get my refund.

Honest question - aren’t juices bad (relatively)? why are we blending instead of eating the fruit?

@damp-coat-97256 When people say "Have the fruit, not the juice", I always imagine it being the canned juice (which are mostly flavoured sugar water). Don't see any disadvantages of freshly made and consumed juices. On the other hand, it allows mixing multiple fruits, milk, nuts, etc.

@careful-pencil-2826 afaik it’s also about fresh juices as you end up consuming more calories than you would if you eat the fruit. If you are knowing and managing that it’s fine I suppose

@damp-coat-97256 Juicing and eating raw fruits are equally good, except in the former you loose some fibery content (source: here, here). This is different from consuming canned juices as stated by @careful-pencil-2826. I prefer both (eating raw fruits and juices), the reason being while preparing a juice I can mix things up, especially those fruits which I don't like. By mixing a small piece of it in a juice, ensures that I am getting the essential nutrients from "disliked" fruits too. Not only that, I also like vegetable juice. For instance, in winters, I have a juice made out of beetroot, spinach, carrots, small piece of ginger and/or awala.
