We're thrilled to introduce BLENDi, a decade-long journey from a hacked-together drill battery blender experiment in 2017 to the most advanced portable blender on the market. Born from a simple question — why can't blending be truly cordless and portable? — BLENDi has spent nearly ten years engineering, iterating, and innovating to bring you a blender that goes wherever you go, without compromise.
2017: The First Prototype — A Drill Battery and a Dream
BLENDi's journey started with a hacked-together experiment: stripping a traditional corded blender, mounting a drill battery and trigger to the side, and wiring it so a squeeze of the trigger powered the blades — proof that truly cordless, portable blending was possible. That same year, in collaboration with UMass engineers, they transformed a standard shaker bottle by removing the base and engineering a custom blending base that became the foundation of their next-generation design. This scrappy, inventive origin story is the spirit that drives every BLENDi innovation.
2018: First 300 Units — Sold Out by December
After two years of ideation, BLENDi produced their first 300 units and successfully sold out by December 2018. This early market validation proved that the world was ready for a truly portable blending solution — and that BLENDi had built something worth having. This sell-out debut set the stage for everything that followed.
2019: Featured in MassLive
In March 2019, BLENDi's first news article in MassLive spotlighted their journey and shared the story behind the brand with readers across Massachusetts. This early media recognition reflected the genuine excitement surrounding a product that was solving a real problem in a genuinely new way.
2022: The BLENDi Pro — 120W Ice-Crushing Power
In 2022, BLENDi introduced the first BLENDi Pro — engineered with enough power to go beyond powders and fresh fruit, making it their first portable blender capable of crushing ice with 120W of power. This leap in performance brought BLENDi into a new category entirely, proving that portable blending didn't have to mean compromising on power. This power milestone changed what portable blending could mean.
2023: The Pro+ — Drink Without Sipping Around Exposed Blades
In 2023, BLENDi relaunched the BLENDi Original as the Lite and officially reintroduced it at the Into The Blue event hosted by Lowe's. They also launched the Pro+ — the first portable blender that lets you enjoy your drink without sipping around exposed blades, thanks to a fully detachable blending base that separates securely from the bottle. This user-experience breakthrough made BLENDi not just the most powerful portable blender, but the most thoughtfully designed one. This innovation reflects BLENDi's commitment to solving every friction point in the portable blending experience.
At Daily Health & Beauty, we're thrilled by BLENDi's decade-long journey from a hacked-together drill battery blender experiment in 2017 through collaboration with UMass engineers, selling out their first 300 units by December 2018, launching the 120W ice-crushing BLENDi Pro in 2022, and introducing the Pro+ in 2023 as the first portable blender with a fully detachable blending base so you can enjoy your drink without sipping around exposed blades makes BLENDi a perfect addition to our curated collection of innovative portable wellness lifestyle brands.
