Quick reference for what the BlendJet light colors actually mean

[Thomas Martinez]

see other threads discussing this issue, someone commented that blue means battery is fine. Flashing red means the jar are not correctly aligned with the blades. Solid red indicates the blade is stuck. Flashing purple means its in lock mode (kid mode?), spinning purple means battery is getting low. Flashing red and purple means battery is completely flat. So purple relates to the battery and red relate to the machine itself.

Yes to me it did, left it on the charger for 4 hour approx and it worked again. People definitely panics when they see it.

Why purple for low battery? why not use yellow like all the other device out there?

 

[Ingenious Dog Dre]

Why re-use red for two different thing? This is amateur hour. You would think for any equipment out there, you would get a specific code for a specific fault. This is a toy though so whatever.

It just dies and I has to plug it in lol

Flashing red alignment problem got me twice before I realized the lid wasnt screw on properly. Once you know what it means its pretty obvious.

Does the blade stuck error clear on its own or does the blendjet have to be unplugged to reset the error? I had an instance of a frozen strawberry wedge once that would not go through.

The use of red for both blade stuck and alignment isnt actually that bad for the user experience. Flashing lights are commonly used to indicate different error states for cars, microwaves and other industrial machinery. The problem with the blendjet is that there is no legend for the colors on the device. If there was a diagram on the underside of the machine for example, no one would have to post about this.

Spinning purple means low battery, has to be charged soon.

does the blendjet consume more battery when in lock mode than when simply off the machine?

Its a flag, the LED doesnt draw that much power. You are fine leaving it locked on.

Flashing red by itself means the lid sensor on mine is busted. Not related to alignment. Had to replace the lid altogether.

lmao i thought blue meant it was ready to blend… for months!

Same energy as people waiting for the microwave to beep twice.

Blue simply means that the battery is healthy, not that its ready to blend. Press the button anytime once its assembled correctly.

For BlendJets the main issue is the batteries degrades very quickly. I’ve used one for a year and a half and its starting to give me low battery warnings constantly even with a full battery. I could blend three smoothies on a charge but now I can barely make one. The battery cells are cheap and not readily replaceable. So while its good to know what spinning purple means, the blendjet battery is on its way out for most BlendJet owners.

Is there any way to test battery health on a BlendJet other than simply blending and seeing how many smoothies it can make at a time?

Its more a matter of vibes. There is no service mode or app to check battery health. You have to simply blend as many smoothies as you can until you cant any more.
