I’m a big fan of anything that makes a morning routine easier, especially when it involves getting something vaguely nutritious into my system before the day gets away from me.
And while I’ve owned my fair share of kitchen gadgets, I’m not exactly interested in adding another appliance to the counter unless it is compact and easy to pull out of the cupboard.
The Beast Mighty 850 Stainless Steel Personal Blender is priced at $522.19 on Amazon Australia; this is definitely not an impulse purchase for the price point.

But with an 850W motor, premium stainless steel components and a clever design that promises to do considerably more than make smoothies, it’s an interesting contender for anyone who takes their kitchen appliances seriously.
I put it to the test with a morning smoothie and, I have to say, the little machine impressed me.
The first thing I noticed was the power. I threw my ingredients into the blending vessel, pressed the single button and let it do its thing. The motor is seriously powerful, making light work of the ingredients and delivering a smooth result without needing to stop and fiddle around with different settings.
It’s the sort of appliance that makes you wonder why some blenders need an entire control panel to achieve something as simple as blending breakfast.
Small but mighty
The Mighty has a supercharged 850W motor designed to tackle everything from frozen fruit and ice to tougher ingredients. That makes it a handy option for anyone who likes their smoothies thick, cold and completely free of unpleasant little chunks.
But what makes this blender stand out from the usual personal smoothie makers is its stainless steel blending environment.
The double-wall stainless steel vessel is designed to keep contents cold for up to 12 hours, which is a clever addition if you’re someone who likes preparing drinks ahead of time.
The stainless steel interior also provides a non-toxic, non-reactive and non-porous environment, with BPA- and BPS-free materials.
There’s also what Beast calls its Nutrient Vault technology, designed to protect sensitive nutrients against light and heat during blending.
Another feature I appreciated is that there’s no need to pour your smoothie into another cup once it’s ready. The Mighty comes with spill-proof lids and an innovative Straw Cap System, allowing you to blend, sip and take your drink on the go using the same vessel.
And while smoothies are an obvious starting point, Beast has designed the appliance to handle plenty of other kitchen jobs.
Multi-purpose uses for a tiny machine
You can use it to grind coffee beans, prepare dips, whip up dressings and make desserts. It’s essentially a personal blender that wants to take on a few extra responsibilities, which is useful if you’re trying to avoid filling every available cupboard with single-purpose appliances.
Its compact footprint is another selling point, despite packing an 850W motor, it has a space-saving design that makes it suitable for smaller kitchens, apartments and anyone who doesn’t have an enormous amount of bench space to spare.
The simple one-button operation is also worth mentioning. Rather than navigating multiple speed settings, the blender uses a timed blending cycle to deliver consistent results with minimal guesswork.
Of course, at $522.19, it’s a significant investment for something many people will primarily use to make breakfast.
You could buy several standard personal blenders for less, but if you’re looking for premium materials, a powerful motor, a stainless steel blending vessel and the flexibility to prepare everything from smoothies to dips, the Beast Mighty packs the power behind it.
After trying it for my morning smoothie, the blending performance was the standout. It was fast, powerful and delivered the smooth consistency I wanted without much effort.
And if there’s one thing I appreciate before my first coffee of the day, it’s an appliance that knows exactly what it’s doing.
The Beast Mighty 850 Stainless Steel Personal Blender is available for $522.19 on Amazon Australia.
