Bring your smoothies or mixed beverages everywhere you go with the Vortex blender from GSI Outdoors. The Vortex blender is completely cord- and battery-free.

The cord-free Vortex blends ice, food, and drinks with a few turns of the crank. To blend, all you have to do is crank the handle and powerful two-speed gear system will kick in. Strong enough to crush ice or process food, the Vortex is ideal for camping, tailgating, picnics, and even backyard BBQs. The blender's 1.5-liter pitcher and lid are both made from virtually unbreakable BPA-free Lexan resin, helping them stand up to rough handling while cleaning easily. The blender also includes a stainless-steel base that fits neatly inside the pitcher when not in use and stores handily out of the way.

Other features include an exclusive pour-through locking lid and a C-clamp that secures the base to the table to prevent accidents.

    About GSI Outdoors
    GSI opened its doors in 1985, after a small group of British Columbian siblings made their way down the West Coast to San Diego. Beginning with a few pieces of blue enamelware and a smattering of campfire accessories, GSI Outdoors grew through the years to include full design, manufacturing, sales, and marketing departments, all tasked with developing and marketing an ever-more-innovative line of outdoor cookware, tableware, and accessories. Siblings Don, Ian, and Kathy Scott eventually relocated to Spokane, Washington, where they continue to define innovation through the creation of unique, imaginative, and fun products that reassert their enthusiasm for the outdoors. GSI Outdoors is still a small, privately held company, with no obligation to shareholders, a corporate board, or anyone else aside from its customers and employees.

    13 customers mention5 positive8 negative

    Customers are mixed about the mixing of the outdoor recreation product. Some mention that it blends great and is easy to set up and use, while others say that it does not blend ice, it doesn't blend anything other than bananas, and the mix was too solid to blend well. The only difference is the ice-chopping, which doesn't do as well, and it needs two people to blend.

    "...I like the fact that there are basically two speeds. It blended everything including my frozen fruit very well...." Read more

    Perfect for our off grid Belize house
    We purchased this blender in 2011 for our off grid eco house in Belize and it’s a game day blender. I make rum drinks with it using fresh cut pineapple, bananas, OJ, ice and of course- the rum! Guests at our house have commented on how fun and easy it is to use. We gifted this blender to local friends and got one for our backyard in Colorado.
