Cordless blenders are a portable tool to make drinks, shakes and juices everywhere. There are various brands and styles of cordless blenders being sold at reasonable prices.
A blender is a kitchen appliance used to grind and mix ingredients together. It can liquify some solid foods like fruits or vegetables, or turn them to puree. It also helps dissolve some foods to be better mixed with other ingredients when cooking.

A blender can also reduce some foods to bite sizes. For example, it can chop peanuts a bit before being mixed to soups or sauces. It can also crush cubes of ice, or dissolve it further to crushed ice.
A typical blender has a glass container where the ingredients to be processed are placed, a plastic lid to close during operation, blades at the bottom which actually process the foods, measuring gradients at the side, and a couple of buttons that set the speed. The speed controls the fineness or coarseness of the output. Generally, a higher speed will produce finer output while slower rotation will produce more controlled and coarse output.
The blades are run by a motor. The first blenders produced have motors than run on electricity. These have cords plugged in a power outlet. However, preparing food in the kitchen can sometimes be messy. And it is unavoidable sometimes to wet the working area. In this case, the cords can be quite a hassle, and pose some danger to accidents.
