Overall Verdict
Neither of these blenders are capable of crushing ice. However, our tests found the corded companion excels at processing high-fiber edibles and is fairly skilled at tackling tough mixtures, like frozen fruits and whole nuts. While it didn't ascend to the summit in our protein shake and smoothie showdowns, it certainly didn't falter either. Its overall textures still eclipse what the OBERLY manages to churn out.
To conclude, if it's mobility you're after, and your blending needs are basic, PopBabies could fit the bill. However, for those valuing performance and consistency, especially on a budget, the BLACK+DECKER FusionBlade is your better bet.
Pros & Cons

- It offers consistent performance.
- There is an extra blending jar with twist-on travel lids included.
- The motor is more than sufficient for light-duty tasks.
