A 12v blender lets you make smoothies without running an inverter.

Options

• USB rechargeable blender: Blends small portions. 2,000mAh battery. 5-10 uses per charge. £20-30.
• 12v plug-in blender: Plugs into a cigarette socket. 150W. Blends frozen fruit. £25-40.
• Manual blender: Hand-powered. Cheap (£10) but requires elbow grease.

Top Picks

Power Draw

The 12v plug-in blenders draw 12-15A from your battery. A 100Ah battery can run one for 6-7 hours (about 50 smoothies).

Verdict

The BlendJet 2 is the best for most van lifers — USB rechargeable, no wires, fits in a cup holder, and blends well enough for soft fruit smoothies.
