There are mornings when you want to start the day with a smoothie full of fruit, but between preparing the ingredients, taking out the blender, dirtying a glass, another container, and half the kitchen, we end up having the usual coffee for breakfast even though we had promised to start taking care of ourselves, again.

That’s why we selected this compact blender from EL PAÍS Escaparate, because it allows you to prepare the drink directly in the container that we then take anywhere. The H.Koenig SMOO9 is designed precisely for our smoothies, you place the ingredients, blend, change the lid, and you have your smoothie ready to leave the house. And it also includes two portable 570 ml bottles, so you can prepare one for now and have another ready for later.
From blender to bottle in seconds
The great advantage of this mini blender is that we don’t need to prepare the smoothie in a jug and then transfer it to another container. The SMOO9 is designed to blend directly in its portable bottles, which have airtight lids so you can take them to the office, gym, on a trip, or have them ready and chilled in the fridge.
Each bottle has a capacity of 570 ml and is made without BPA, a size that allows you to prepare a generous serving of smoothie, juice, or shake without turning the container into an unwieldy object to carry.
A person who has tried it highlights precisely this aspect: “its compact design and perfect size to take anywhere”. In their case, they use it to prepare their healthy drinks both at the gym and at the office or when going on a hike.
Four blades for creamy ‘smoothies’
The H.Koenig SMOO9 features a 300 W motor and four stainless steel blades, designed to achieve smooth and creamy blends. In other words, although it’s small, it can handle everything. In fact, the manufacturer states it can also work with harder ingredients, such as frozen fruit or ice cubes.
In their review, a customer is especially satisfied with this aspect and assures that despite its size, “the efficient motor easily crushes fruits, vegetables, and ice.” They also highlight that it achieves smooth and creamy shakes in a short time.
Besides smoothies and shakes, the 570 ml capacity allows for preparing juices, soups, and other blends, so it can be used for more than just the classic fruit shake.
Compact, easy to clean, and with two bottles
It is designed for daily use without each smoothie turning into a deep cleaning operation afterward, since its components are detachable and dishwasher safe.
The same buyer highlights that for those who prefer to wash it by hand, they also recommend doing so right after use, especially around the blades, to prevent food residues from drying.

Regarding the design, the SMOO9 combines a compact format with a stainless steel construction and its two portable bottles with airtight lids make it even more practical: you can have one in use and another ready for the next drink.
Added to all this is a two-year warranty and after-sales service in Spain and Portugal.
Frequently asked questions
Can it be used to crush ice?
Yes, it is designed to work with hard ingredients and customers note that it can crush ice cubes. However, it is advisable to do so with some precautions: add liquid along with the ice, use small or medium ice cubes, and avoid filling the cup only with large blocks of ice. Frequent use of very hard ice without liquid can wear down the blades over time.
Is it easy to clean?
Yes. The blades are detachable and the components are dishwasher safe, according to the product specifications. It can also be quickly cleaned by hand with water and soap. To facilitate maintenance, it is recommended to wash the blades shortly after preparing the drink and avoid letting fruit or other ingredient residues dry.
Are the bottles suitable for carrying the drink?
Yes. The SMOO9 includes two portable 570 ml bottles with airtight lids, designed to prepare the drink and then transport it. This way you can prepare the smoothie directly in the container and take it with you to work, the gym, or during a trip.
