    Great review, thanks! America's Test Kitchen also loved the Beast and said both sizes worked well. I really wanted to see both side by side with a good comparison and you have done that and more. I'll go with the mini. I love my Vitamin but it's a pain to clean and is overkill a lot of the time. Now you just need an Amazon affiliate link so we can send a little credit your way :)

    Are the beast and the beast mini containers and lids interchangeable between the two models? Thank you!

    The larger one is $70 at Costco now and you get 3 containers. I love making nut milk with it. The white one color gets dirty and dulls over time.

    Thank you for comparing the two. I received my Beast Mini today; however I unfortunately purchased the Mini without the extra container. I paid $20.00 less.
    I planned to return this Mini in exchange for a Beast, large or small with ALL of the accessories.
    I looked for reviews that compared The Beast vs The Beast Mini. Thus far, I have only found your comparison.
    Thankfully, you addressed ALL of my questions on which of the two will work for my situation.
    I have decided to purchase the Beast Mini with ALL of the accessories. I wish I would have ordered the complete set.
    Amazon delivers quickly

    My main concern is how well the Mini will handle frozen fruit. Blenders I’ve used in the past w. 600 watt motors can’t blend them too finely and things can end up tasty gritty near the bottom. For me? The cause was frozen strawberries… and their seeds (small, frozen little devils!)
    Does the Mini handle frozen fruits well?

    • @graysontate_
      @graysontate_  3 місяці тому +3

      It handles frozen fruit really well. Everything I’ve made has come out really smooth and consistent but I’m going to make a smoothie today and watch out for the strawberry seeds and will report back. 🫡

    • @graysontate_
      @graysontate_  3 місяці тому +5

      I tested it again, and some strawberry seeds were still present. From what I remember this was the same with my other blenders, but there might be some extremely powerful ones that could get rid of these.

    I watched your video just a second late. I had ordered a beast from Costco. After I watched your video. I realized I would like the mini more. So I ordered the mini from Amazon. I used both. And I have to say. I like the mini more. At first I was concern it has less power and not able to blend and chop frozen fruit. But to my surprise the mini very stable when blending. Not shaking or anything I was concern. Thank you for doing the review. The beast is too big for my hand to open or close. I struggle. The mini Definitely way easier to open and use. And it has more colors to choose from. I got the terra cotta. Easy to clean too. I have a lot of white applicants but the beast seem to get dirty quickly. And find myself keep wiping and cleaning as I use it. Just want to thank you for your Video !

    From the review comments, it seems the older versions had glass containers and were relatively quiet. It seems like the newer versions are not glass, so I wonder if they are now louder

    • @graysontate_

      Honestly I am happy with the Tritan plastic because I am a bit clumsy and would have broken the glass by now.

    • @ccbowers
      @ccbowers 2 місяці тому +2

      @@graysontate_ There are advantages to both, but noise and scratches are typically drawbacks to plastic blending vessels. I would rather have both as options- glass for blending and an extra plastic one for on-the-go use.

    Hi Grayson! How is the beast mini on ice? I find my magic bullet* really struggles so looking for something that is able to blend ice smoothly and not too loud. Thanks for the super helpful video!

    • @graysontate_
      @graysontate_  Місяць тому

      Sorry for the delay! The blender does not do a great job of blending ice on its own. The ice that it does blend is like snow, but some of the cubes get stuck at the top and you have to shake them to get them to the blade. I think if you had some liquid in the mixture, it would work really really well. Like making a piña colada for for example.

    Thank you! I want the mini :) but haven’t found a review. It’s just myself and my husband so I think this will be perfect. And love matcha. This might be easier to make in the AM. I want to get rid of the ninja. It’s HUGE and too many accessories. I just didn’t like it so I think this will be perfect

    Very helpful review. I picked up the large size Beast during the Costco sale, but haven’t opened it yet because I saw the Mini on Amazon. I only need a blender for my daily protein shakes and I think the large one would be overkill. I don’t need all the extra accessories to store either. Thinking the Mini would work better for my needs. Is there much difference in the noise they make? I love that Mist color, too.

    • @graysontate_
      @graysontate_  3 місяці тому +4

      I think the mini would be perfect for you. The mini is noticeably quieter than the larger version. Obviously, it’s still a blender so I would not call it quiet. All of the colors of the mini I think are great, but I really love this mist color because it’s more of a gray blue than a true blue, which I think goes with a lot of decor styles without being too trendy.

      I just tried mine and there were still some strawberry seeds, but all of the frozen fruit was blended really well. My base has never gotten very warm, so I would just make sure that you’re using enough liquid. Otherwise I could see it overheating.

    I got the white Beast from Bespoke. I’ve had it for about 3 months. I love it. But in hindsight I would have gotten black. I don’t have a dishwasher so the blender top isn’t exactly bright white anymore. I’m hoping the sealing ring inside the blender top will last. I got tired of replacing the Ninja seal. They don’t just sell the ring. Also Ninja blades get dull fast. The sealing ring by the blades really gets disgusting if you don’t take them out and wash separately. It could be no dishwasher is the problem. Antique houses are pretty basic.

    • @graysontate_
