It's decent for making nut butter, but it's a somewhat inconvenient process. You need five blending cycles, but more importantly, it requires quite a bit of shaking and scraping the jar. Since it's a personal blender, scraping requires you to undock the jar and remove the blades, so it's a little annoying. Still, in the end, it makes creamy, spreadable nut butter, although it's a little grainy compared with what some blenders can do, including the Beast Health Blender.

Compared To Other Blenders The Beast Mega 1200 is a big personal blender. It has a similar design to the brand's other blenders, including the Beast Health Blender and Beast Mini Blender Plus, which both have smaller main jars and less powerful motors. It has quite a bulky design for a personal blender, and if you basically only use your blender for personal smoothies, you might prefer a smaller model with a similar performance, like the Beast Health Blender or Ninja Foodi Power Nutri DUO.

Compared To Other Blenders The nutribullet Portable blender doesn't really stand out as a portable blender. It does an okay job of blending fibrous ingredients, and its jar has a spout lid so you can drink from it on the go. However, pricier models like the nutribullet Flip and Ninja Blast Max BC251 make a much smoother blend with common smoothie additions like fruit and leafy greens.

While the newest, most premium toaster ovens are often designed to fit almost anything you'd put in a regular oven, the space-challenged among us might still want something small. While more compact options naturally can't fit bigger dishes (most options here won't fit the average frozen pizza), you can get feature-packed models that can air fry, bake, and broil, all in a small package. Smaller ovens preheat faster, so even the more basic options can shine for purposes like reheating leftovers.

While you might associate air fryers with quick, crispy snacks like French fries and chicken wings, models with a capacity of around 7 quarts or more can work as an alternative to your regular oven for meals. The biggest models can handle main courses like a whole chicken or a rack of ribs and produce bigger batches of sides like Brussels sprouts and cauliflower. Since a bigger cooking surface area produces better air frying results, you may want a large-capacity air fryer if you have the space.
