It’s good to know that in this age of energy-consciousness and growing awareness of climate change and air pollution, you can still purchase a $300+ gas-powered blender. There’s even a knock-off called The Daquiri Whacker, which, improbably, seems an order of magnitude less safe than the Tailgator. or tweet him @TWTFSale.

Whip up margaritas, smoothies, and daiquiris or make dips for the chips right in the stadium parking lot. Waring is a respected name in blenders, so it's no surprise they were thoughtful enough to devise a bender that facilitates a movable feast.

The key is the plug at the end of a 14-foot cord: it plugs into a vehicle's cigarette lighter. That means icy cocktails, ice-cream shakes, and other drinks can be fashioned on a tailgate or picnic table or anywhere a vehicle can go. The 6-cup, pitcher-shaped container is tough plastic so it can be dropped on asphalt without damage. Fully assembled, the blender stands 14-1/2 inches high on a 7-inch-diameter, bright chrome base. 7.8 x 8 x 14.5 inches 6.7 pounds (View shipping rates and policies) #159,654 in Home & Kitchen (See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen) #376 in Kitchen & Dining > Small Appliances > Blenders > Countertop Blenders 5 star43%4 star23%3 star8%2 star8%1 star18%See all verified purchase reviewsTop Customer ReviewsNot a Vitamix, but as good as any other blender I have tried and perfect for camping purposes!Low power is to be expected at 12 VoltsNot a strong blenderLove.Love it. Loveitloveitloveit.Love.To be clear, I am not comparing this to a conventional bar blender.

I am not comparing this to a gas powered blender. I am taking it on its own terms, which is a blender that makes life very easy for you where you have a 12V outlet...and that's it. If you want a quick, easy, no-real-thought-required way to get a blender at a tailgate or a campsite, well, this is your boy.And to that end, let's adjust expectations. Many reviewers point out that this will not make superfinely ground frozen drinks, and they are correct. It will break up ice, though for best results you really want to prepare the battlefield. kitchenaid artisan mixer candy apple 90th anniversary editionBy that I mean that if you are trying to ground ice cubes such as you make in your freezer, well, you'll be disappointed. ninja blender bl780 reviewIt does an admirable job of crushing ice that you get from the supermarket though, and that is expected. oster blender blstcc-bfp reviews

After all, if you're tailgating you're more likely to use commercial bagged ice than ice from home, I think. But even at that, you are going to get cold, frothy, and small chunks instead of a Slurpee-style drink.One switch with one speed means one choice. It does, I think, approaches the edge of the power envelope that you can realistically get from a 12V outlet. And speaking of which, I used this with a Celestron Power Tank AND a Black & Decker PPRH5B Professional Power Station in addition to the power point in the truck. magic bullet blender kijkshopAll options worked flawlessly. cuisinart smartpower duet blender/food processor 350 wattsThere's a generous 15' cord which is appreciated, but if you have a power station then the cord is a bit TOO long.kitchenaid artisan hand blender khb2569

It's easy to clean. By now you know the pitcher is plastic, and other reviewers are correct when they say the lid fits on crazy tight. The bottom comes off easily though, and that makes cleanup really simple.For outdoors use I could kind of do without the chrome, but whatever.Frankly, I don't think you can do much better than this blender without spending a lot more money or going through a lot of hassle. Instead of messing around with pure sine wave inverters hooked up to monster batteries that will do anything, you could go for what I call a 90% solution....this blender will handle about 90% of whatever most people expect to blend. ninja blender nextagI am very impressed with it.It works great on the boat See all customer images Most Recent Customer ReviewsSearch Customer Reviews See and discover other items: plastic carafe, blenders that crush ice, drink blenders, sauce blender The Tailgater Blender is a great idea!
