La Reveuse vs. iCucina Portable Bullet

Overall Verdict

During the tests, the La Reveuse performed well in producing smooth and nutrient-rich drinks, especially green smoothies and frozen fruit smoothies. It was able to liquify oatmeal and produce a well-balanced smoothie in a relatively short amount of time too. However, it was not able to crush ice cubes efficiently due to its relatively weak motor and blade assembly.

The iCucina and its 300-watt motor was unable to perform well in other tests compared to the La Reveuse, although both blenders struggled to crush ice or to pulverize raw nuts and dried fruits. With all of their shared weaknesses we recommend the La Reveuse over the iCucina for overall efficiency. Still, the iCucina is not a bad choice at all when it comes to processing fresh plant-based ingredients.
