About

Use Your Blender exists for one reason: most good blenders end up in a cupboard, and they don't have to.

I'm Peter Lee. I've spent most of my career in the kitchen appliance world, largely on the marketing side, which is less glamorous than it sounds. A big part of that job is reading what customers write in after they buy: the reviews, the support emails, the survey answers. Thousands of them, over the years.

What struck me was how consistent the story is. People buy a blender with real intentions. They use it hard for two or three weeks. Then the little frictions win: the washing up, the smoothie that didn't hold them until lunch, the recipe that needed four things they didn't have. The machine didn't fail. The system around it did.

Nobody was writing honestly about that, so this is my attempt. Everything here is practical, tested, and free of the two things that plague this corner of the internet: miracle claims and fifty-ingredient recipes.

I don't sell blenders, I'm not affiliated with any blender company, and I'll always say plainly when something I recommend earns me a commission.
