Tech News | Wonderchef Showdown: Testing the Twister Portable Vs. Nutri-Blend Turbo

By Himank Tripathi

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 24 (ANI): The moment I tried to look for a blender, I was overwhelmed to see so many options starting from just Rs 500. However, if you don't know the right way to pick the correct one, then you'll either end up buying a blender made of cheap plastic and a motor that could burn out in six months, or end up spending too much on a blender for a simple protein shake.

In my opinion, your blender should match your routine. So, let me tell you about two such blenders from Wonderchef that I tried and tested extensively, ranging from Rs 2,000 to Rs 3,500, and help you find the right blender that suits your lifestyle and routine. The reason I tried these blenders is because Wonderchef is a known brand started by our very own renowned chef Sanjeev Kapoor, so I thought it would be a good idea to test them to find out the truth.

Wonderchef Twister:

I've been noticing a lot of people opting for portable blenders and realised that the main reason for this boom is largely because they are perfect for single-serve blending of soft ingredients. The Twister costs Rs 2,099 and has a 500ml capacity, which is ideal for a single large serving. It has a 150W motor spinning at 18,000 RPM, and it's powered by a Type-C rechargeable battery.

While most of the similar portable blenders were giving me around 15 blends, this one gives 20+ blends before I have to charge it again. It has this dual-rotation stainless-steel blade system which spins both ways. The Twister actively pulls ingredients down so you don't have to awkwardly shake the blender mid-cycle. Like all portable blenders under 200W, this is meant for light duty. Think of smoothies, iced coffee, and protein shakes. To get the best results without jamming the blades, I suggest you chop your fruits into smaller pieces. There's a 30-second auto-stop pulse function, which I find it quite convenient. Plus, there is a sipper cap, meaning I can blend and immediately head out the door. The cleaning process is also very easy where I just need to add some water, a drop of soap, and run it for a few seconds.

Wonderchef Nutri-Blend Turbo:

This one is also an impressive blender for some heavy-duty load. Unlike most standard nutri-blenders with 400W to 500W of power, this one has a 750W motor hitting 22,000 RPM. Yes, you read it right - 22,000 RPM. There are two jars (300ml and 200ml) and a handy sprinkler lid. Keep in mind, all nutri-blenders use food-grade plastic jars--if you want stainless steel, you need a traditional mixer grinder. There is no dedicated on/off button, as you just lock the jar into the base, twist, and the machine roars to life. You get perfect juices and smoothies, where my favourite is watermelon with seeds, and it gives me excellent results with no gritty residue. This blender is best suited for fine textures. However, I tried making chunky, traditional Indian chutney and realised that it blends everything so smoothly that the end result can't be called chutney.

This is when I realised that if you need to powder dry seeds (like flax, chia, and watermelon seeds), try the smaller 200ml jar, as it completely pulverizes them into a fine powder without a hitch. I even tried making a paste of ginger, garlic, and onion. I got a great paste, but there is one catch: I have to chop these ingredients first. I tried throwing in large, whole chunks of ginger, thinking that the 22,000 RPM should be able to take care of it. I was wrong, as the blades left a few pieces behind. So, the golden rule is to chop them into small pieces and then use this blender to do its job. Another thing I noticed is that this blender should be used for short bursts where you need to limit your blending to 60 seconds at a time, as the motor will heat up if I use it any longer. So, this one is ideal for shakes and pastes, as I could not use it for heavy-duty tasks like grinding large batches of dosa batter. Last but not least, I could not get any froth while trying to make my cold coffee.

In the end:

Both of these blenders deliver what they promise, but they serve two very different needs. If your daily routine involves long commutes, gym sessions, or working from a laptop, then the Wonderchef Twister is a no-brainer. It is portable, surprisingly punchy, and outlasts the battery life of many competitors.

However, if you're looking for a reliable, high-RPM daily driver for your kitchen counter that can get you your morning smoothie or a fine ginger-garlic paste for dinner, then you need to consider the Nutri-Blend Turbo. Just remember to chop your veggies first, and don't expect it to grind your heavy batters.

My Rating: 4/5 for both
