The sleek design of the Cuisinart EvolutionX Compact is much akin to a bullet blender with two exceptions. It features a push start button and has the option of cordless blending. The powerful motor crushes ice and pulverizes spinach. With the installation of the flip-top lid, the cup goes from blender to travel cup, with the option of leaving the motor base behind; a perk for anyone who wants to eliminate extra bulk and weight. In comparison to most portable blenders, this is the closest you'll get to standard blender performance.
The tradeoff for powerful performance is space. The combination of the blending cup and motor base takes up some real estate. If you want to blend and go, this model is an excellent choice. If you want to travel with the entire unit daily, another option may suit you better. The EvolutionX is best for those who want to skip the hassle of tediously slicing up frozen fruit and plan on leaving the motor base behind.

Do you have sticker shock from the price tags attached to some of the top models in this review? The Hamilton Beach Big Mouth retails for a fraction of the price of many other products yet can still produce above-average juices. Across our entire series of tests, this price point model delivered impressive results. It yields an average amount of juice from both soft and hard produce and is even capable of effectively juicing leafy greens &mdash; an uncommon feat for most centrifugal models. Best of all, this juicer makes reasonably tasty juice cocktails and is quite easy to clean.
While it may not feature the handsome stainless steel construction of some other top models, this is a durable model that is still likely to stand up to everyday juicing. As a centrifugal model, it can introduce quite a bit of pulp to your drink, which means that juices tend to separate quickly and are best enjoyed fresh rather than stored for later. Although this machine doesn't offer the most impressive juice yields, it does produce a high-quality glass of juice, particularly considering its price point. The Big Mouth is perfect for anyone shopping on a tight budget &mdash; but for those able to spend a bit more, the Premium version is well worth the small additional expense.
