Mini blenders are compact and lightweight. This means they're easier to carry around and can easily fit in a car cupholder. They are also great for blending small portions of dips or sauces. However, they're not recommended for crushing ice or hard ingredients, which can cause the device to overheat.
If you're looking for a personal blender that you can take with you, you'll want to choose one that's battery-operated. These come with a rechargeable lithium battery that can last up to 20 minutes and blend up to a dozen drinks before needing to be re-charged. Some even come with a travel lid, which screws on the cup.
