Aura is Singapore’s leading brand specializing in portable
blenders and the blenders I’ve used so far are mostly bulky so joy is receiving
this sleek blender to review! The kids always badger for drinks when we are out
and we’ve been limiting them to 100 plus if they go for a good work out and
occasionally juice but this blender is just about the right solution to keep
their sugars under reasonable limits and keeping healthy!
A few things to note,
There is only 1 button, give it a long press to start the
blender a quick press to turn if off. I actually struggled at the beginning
trying to decipher how to turn on, blend and turn off but nothing too difficult
to master.
It is “smart” enough not to function if the glass bottle is
not fastened properly or it is overloaded i.e. too much to blend. On more than
one occasion I’ve had to empty it just to get a good gauge how much is too much
– food for thought, filling the fruit till about the half mark and liquid
slightly over is sufficient.
Features of the Aura
Portable Blender that makes it a hit
- Self cleaning rocks.
Makes life as easy as it can get without having to go near the razor sharp blades. All you need is some tap water, dish washing liquid and a good blend. Rinse and leave it to dry, we’re done!
- Charge on the go, with a powerbank even!
- Sleek design, the blender is an accessory
As frivolous as it sounds, I like the way it looks. With the
transparent glass, after filling it with fruits makes me happy just looking at
it.
- Gentle whirling
The other blenders used tend to have loud and jarring
blending sounds, this was in comparison, music to my ears with the gentle
whirling. Everything blended in under 5 seconds, sweet!
Made a dragonfruit and grape milkshake – Surprisingly so
good! Sweet, creamy and refreshing for a hot day!
Apple and pear milk shake – The grainy apple bits could be tasted, should have blended in some
ice too!
What I did not like though…
- Tampered glass blenders are sturdy but heavy so that makes
bringing around a concern, especially if you’re packing for a picnic with the
liquid heavyweights (iced packs, iced drinks and fruits) and then a blender. It
all adds up!
- Would be great to have a battery indicator like our phones
or even ear buds, so we have an idea when a next charge should be scheduled or
really, just charge it every 2-3 uses to play safe.
This is great for your chilled drinks if you’ve already
blended them at home and keeping your beverage at a constant temperature.
ALL in, a super nifty and fashionable blender. This will be
the next highly used appliance in our kitchen next to the Ninja foodi!
