Spring is here, and so has the arrival of those warm and sunny days, albeit sporadically. But on those mornings when the sunshine lights up my kitchen, and the temperature creeps up, I find myself drifting straight to thoughts of days in the garden and my go-to summer breakfast: an ice-cold smoothie. That's why it feels like particularly good timing that Ninja has slashed its BlendBoss blender to its lowest-ever price.

The blender only landed back in February 2026, designed with smoothies, frozen treats, and protein or milkshakes in mind. At full price, it retails for £119.99, but right now you can get it for just £99. According to price comparison website PriceRunner, this is the cheapest it has been. It might just be one of the most eye-catching blenders I've ever seen, and spoiler alert: it's not just a pretty face. I had the chance to put it through its paces a few weeks ago, and it didn't take long to realise this thing means business. It's fast, impressively powerful, and genuinely gives your standard kitchen blender a serious run for its money. If you want the full lowdown, you can read my detailed review here.

Of course, at £119.99 it isn't exactly the cheapest option out there. You can easily pick up a standard blender for under £50 - even from Ninja itself. Take the Ninja Blast Cordless Portable Blender, for example, which retails for £49.99. But the BlendBoss stands out from your average blender for a couple of reasons.

Straight away, its unique design stood out to me and instantly made it stand out from other blenders on the market. It's certainly good-looking, coming in four bright, playful colourways, alongside a more understated grey if you prefer to keep things low-key. There's Blue Raspberry, blending teals with soft light blues; Watermelon Bubblegum, a cheerful clash of pinks and greens (though this is currently sold out); Lavender Lemonade, mixing purples, lilacs and pops of yellow; and Cyberspace, pairing navy with powder blue. Then there's Stone, a more versatile mix of greys and beiges that slips easily into most kitchens.

The design is interesting, too. This single-serve blender features a Stanley cup-style tumbler that sits neatly on top of the rounded, motorised base. It comes with one tumbler, lid and straw, so once you've blended your drink, you can simply lift it off and head straight out the door. If you do want extra cups, lids or straws, you'll need to buy those separately. They're currently available on the Argos and Very websites for £29.

When it comes to functionality, it keeps things simple but smart. There are three automatic settings - Smoothie, Ice Crush and Blend - each designed to adapt depending on what you've added to your cup. There's also a pulse setting for when you want a bit more hands-on control.

While the colours were what initially caught my attention, it was the sheer power of the machine that really stuck with me. The BlendBoss has a 1100-watt motor base, which is pretty punchy considering most everyday kitchen blenders tend to sit somewhere between 500 and 1,000 watts. You notice that the power is on as soon as you switch the machine on.

It also comes with suction cups on the base to keep it firmly anchored to your worktop, and after using it, I can safely say there's a very good reason for that. It's not exactly subtle. It's definitely on the louder side, especially when tackling ice, but compared to my old blender, it works through ingredients so quickly that the noise is over almost as soon as it begins.

The blender has a 4.8-star review from previous customers on the Ninja website. One review said: "Perfectly perfect as with all ninja products. Fast does everything it says."

Another shopper wrote: "This is a compact but effective blender. We have the soup smoothie maker. This blender is equally powerful as its larger counterpart when it comes to making smoothies. The fact that you use the cup is genius. Thoroughly recommend."

So far, there aren't any one- or two-star reviews. The lowest rating it's received on the Ninja website is three stars, with one shopper noting: "The lid of the tumbler gets water stuck inside of it after washing (either hand or dishwasher). I can hear the water inside, and even after shaking and trying to dry out on the windowsill, water still leaks out of the inside of the lid. I don't know if it's a faulty lid or a design flaw. However, the blender itself is 5/5 stars. "

When it comes to cleaning, the bladed cap, tumbler, straw and travel lid are all dishwasher safe.
