Prime Day Deal: Get the Powerful Blender I Use Everyday for Less Right Now

Prime Day Deal: Get the Powerful Blender I Use Everyday for Less Right Now

CNET09-07-2025
There are blenders, and then there's the blender. The one that crushes ice without sounding like a demolition site, turns frozen fruit into velvet and never seems to slow down -- no matter how much you throw at it. For me, that blender is the Chefman Obliterator, and right now, it's just $93 on Amazon, down from its list price of $150, just in time for Amazon Prime Day.
I've tested and used plenty of blenders over the years, but the Obliterator has been a standout in my kitchen for one simple reason: It delivers big-league performance without a steep price tag. With a 1,380-watt motor, stainless steel blades and a sleek, minimalist design (I'm partial to mine in the Concrete color since it's modern without screaming look at me) -- this is a tool that gets the job done and looks good doing it.
Whether I'm making smoothies, protein shakes, sauces, soups or my new favorite thing to make, pesto, the Obliterator handles it all. I've used it daily for weeks and have yet to hear it complain, slow down or leave an unblended chunk behind. It even tackled nut butters and frozen margaritas with zero drama.
If, like me, you prefer the Obliterator in the Concrete color, it's also on sale on the Chefman website for 20% off, bringing the price down to $120 from its usual $150 price tag. That's not as much of a deal as the Midnight model on Amazon, but it's still a decent discount. Or you can get the bundle (the one I have) that also comes with a travel jar for $130, a $30 discount from its usual $160. That's a great price for a blender that genuinely competes with other higher-end models from brands like Vitamix and Ninja.

Let's talk about specs

Equipped with a 1,380-watt motor and an advanced airflow system, the Obliterator is capable of crushing ice and blending tough ingredients while operative relatively quietly. The unit includes a 48-ounce shatter-resistant Tritan jar, suitable for both cold and hot blending, though the latter requires the lid to be removed and covered with a towel to manage splatter.
A range of manual controls, including five speed settings and a pulse function, give users precision, while built-in safety alerts such as "fix jar" and "add liquid" offer added guidance during use. An "auto blend" feature also automates consistency settings based on the ingredients, reducing the need for guesswork. To put it simply, the blender does all the work for you. You just have to stand and watch.
Whether you get the bundle or opt to just get the blender, you'll still receive a tamper and scraper tool to assist with thicker mixtures. This especially helps when scraping down smoothies or other purees.
While I love the other features of the Obliterator, my favorite part is the easy cleanup. In the past, I rarely used blenders because it meant handwashing five to 10 small blender pieces, and risk cutting my fingers on the blades. With Chefman's blender, cleanup is streamlined through two methods: a self-cleaning preset or dishwasher safe accessories. Notably, the blender uses a blunt-blade design aimed at increasing safety during cleaning without compromising blending ability.
A great birthday gift (or a "gift for me" gift)
If you have a loved one with a summer birthday or you're looking ahead to the holidays (they'll be here before you know it), consider gifting them the Obliterator. If you have someone in your life who enjoys cooking, blending drinks or just having powerful yet stylish tools on the countertop, this is a gift that's both practical and fun. It's easy to use, easy to clean (hello, dishwasher-safe parts) and durable enough to last through years of use.
Or maybe you're just tired of your current blender's underwhelming performance. This is one of those upgrades that feels instantly worth it -- the kind you notice and appreciate every time you use it. I certainly won't judge you if you end up gifting the Obliterator to yourself.

Bright spots emerge in corporate earnings as tariff uncertainty lingers

(Reuters) -Some of the world's top tech firms, including U.S. search giant Alphabet, South Korean chipmaker SK Hynix and Indian IT services provider Infosys, have provided upbeat guidance in their latest earnings reports, shrugging off an uncertain U.S. trade policy. Corporate operations have been overshadowed by erratic U.S. trade action that has upended supply chains and left firms to navigate fluid tariffs on top of broader economic uncertainties such as regulatory change and currency fluctuation. But tech titans Alphabet, SK Hynix and Infosys - which all reported earnings that beat market forecasts - predicted brighter days to come, with Alphabet and SK Hynix both flagging plans to boost spending. Nvidia supplier SK Hynix booked record quarterly profit, boosted by strong demand for artificial intelligence chips and customers stockpiling ahead of potential U.S. tariffs. Indian IT services provider Infosys raised the floor of its annual revenue forecast range to 1% to 3%, from flat to 3%, matching analyst expectations. Among the major earnings on Thursday, Nestle, Reckitt, Roche and Wizz report before local markets open. TURBULENCE The upbeat guidance amounted to a bright spot in a turbulent second-quarter earnings season that has so far seen businesses as varied as chipmakers and steelmakers report downbeat results. Companies have reported over July 16-22 a combined full-year loss of as much as $7.8 billion, with the automotive, aerospace and pharmaceutical sectors being hurt most by tariffs. General Motors said tariffs knocked $1.1 billion from second-quarter earnings. On Wednesday, Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk said U.S. government cuts in support for electric vehicle makers could lead to a "few rough quarters", as his firm reported its worst quarterly sales decline in over a decade. TRADE DEALS News that the U.S. had struck a deal with Japan to lower new tariffs on auto imports and spare it punishing levies on other goods lifted Asian and European stock markets on Wednesday. It stirred hope for a similar deal with the European Union ahead of August 1, when the U.S. said new tariffs will go into effect. The European Union is moving toward a trade deal that could include a 15% U.S. baseline tariff on EU goods and possible exemptions, two European diplomats said. One surprise on Thursday was South Korea's finance ministry saying tariff negotiations had been postponed due to a scheduling conflict for U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. The announcement cast fresh doubt about whether South Korea would be able to avert U.S. import duties that could hit some of its major exporting industries. All eyes are on Washington as governments scramble to close trade deals ahead of next week's deadline that the White House has already pushed back under pressure from markets and intense lobbying by industry. While the Japan deal has eased investor worry, the threat of higher tariffs on other large economies remains, including the European Union, Canada and Brazil. An EU-China summit on Thursday will test European resolve and unity as the bloc faces trade pressure from both China as well as the United States, while U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent meets Chinese officials in Sweden next week.
