How do I clean my portable blender?

  1. Add a few drops of detergent into your HESTIA bottle.
  2. Fill your bottle halfway with water and close it securely.
  3. Start your HESTIA blender and shake it gently to help remove the residue. Allow it to run for a cycle.
  4. After the 20 secs. have passed, empty the soapy water, and most, if not all, of the residue will be removed!
  • If you find that there is still residue stuck to the bottle, you can gently wash it off with soap and water. Use a sponge or a bottle brush to avoid scratching. Additionally, there is a brush included in your package for cleaning the blender blades (please exercise caution while using it).

  • The base of your HESTIA blender is water-resistant, so it can be rinsed under a stream of water. However, we do not recommend fully submerging the base underwater to prevent potential water damage. Please exercise caution when cleaning the base.

Can I put the blender's components in the dishwasher?

Our portable blenders are designed for easy cleaning. The bottle cup, lid, and under-cap are all (3) dishwasher safe. The blender base (motor) is NOT dishwasher safe.

Are the blender blades removable for cleaning?

No. In case you were looking to remove them to wash them thoroughly, we recommend using a larger brush with which you’ll be able to do so while keeping you and your HESTIA’s blender base safe.

What type of liquids or ingredients can I blend in this blender?

You can blend a wide range of ingredients, including fruits, vegetables, ice, and various liquids like water, juice, or milk. Please avoid blending highly-carbonated mixtures as these can create pressure buildup in the blender. Be sure not to overload the blender beyond its capacity, as indicated in the user manual.

Can I blend hot liquids in the blender?

It's not recommended to blend extremely hot liquids as they can create pressure buildup in the blender. Allow hot liquids to cool to a safe temperature before blending.

Is my blender suitable for crushing ice?

Yes, your HESTIA bottle is suitable for crushing ice! Its strong motor is great for making smoothies, shakes, and more. You can always do a second or a third blending cycle if you want your mixture increasingly smooth.

How long does the battery last on a full charge?

The battery life lasts approximately up to 45 cycles! One of the best things about your HESTIA bottle is its 6000 mAh battery capacity. The battery life will depend on the consistency of your drinks since some will be tougher to blend than others, but again, up to 45 blends per charge.

How do I charge the blender?

  • Charging the blender is simple and effective. In fact, its magnetic connection is one of the reasons why your HESTIA bottle is water resistant. 
  • To charge, connect the provided charging cable to the blender's charging port and plug it into a standard USB charger or a USB-enabled device. It usually takes 3-5 hours for a full charge, and then you’ll be good to go for another ~45 blending cycles.
