Joyoung High-Speed Blender Review: The King of Chinese Soy Milk Makers Goes Premium

Introduction

Joyoung (九阳) is to soy milk makers what Xiaomi is to smartphones — the undisputed market leader in China. With the Joyoung High-Speed Blender (九阳高速破壁机), the company expands beyond soy milk into the premium blender market, competing directly with Vitamix and Blendtec. At ¥599 (~$82 USD) on JD.com, it offers 38,000 RPM motor speed, heating functionality (up to 100°C), and a glass pitcher.

With 50,000+ reviews on JD.com and a 97% positive rating, the Joyoung blender is one of China’s most popular kitchen appliances. Here’s why.

Design and Build

The Joyoung High-Speed Blender has a more premium, appliance-grade look than Xiaomi’s minimalism. The brushed stainless steel base houses the 1,200W motor, while the thick borosilicate glass pitcher (1.75L) feels substantial — it weighs nearly 2kg empty.

The touch panel features 8 preset programs clearly labeled in Chinese: Soy Milk, Rice Paste, Soup, Porridge, Juice, Ice Crush, Grind, and Self-Clean. A central dial adjusts speed manually.

The glass pitcher is the key differentiator from Tritan plastic blenders. Glass doesn’t scratch, stain, or absorb odors. It’s also dishwasher-safe and thermal-shock-resistant (from -20°C to 120°C).

Performance

The 38,000 RPM motor combined with 1,200W of power is formidable. It pulverizes soybeans into silky-smooth soy milk in 25 minutes — no straining needed. The heating function cooks the soy milk during blending, eliminating the traditional two-step process (blend then boil).

Smoothie performance: Frozen fruit + ice + yogurt blends to velvety consistency in 45 seconds — on par with Vitamix.

Nut butter: Almonds and peanuts transform into creamy butter in 3-4 minutes. The tamper (included) helps push ingredients toward the blades.

Soup mode: Raw vegetables + water + seasonings → piping hot soup in 30 minutes. The heating element brings contents to a rolling boil.

What Chinese Users Say

Aggregated Ratings: 4.7/5 ★ (50,000+ reviews on JD.com, 97% positive)

“九阳的豆浆机用了十多年了，这个破壁机升级很值。打出来的豆浆真的没有渣，不用过滤。加热功能太方便了，生豆子直接出热豆浆。” — JD.com 陈女士 ★★★★★ “Used Joyoung soy milk makers for 10+ years — this blender upgrade is worth it. Soy milk comes out truly residue-free, no straining. The heating function is so convenient — raw beans to hot soy milk in one go.”

“599元买到加热破壁机，比进口品牌便宜太多。唯一的缺点是噪音大，早上打豆浆会吵醒全家。建议放到厨房关上门操作。” — JD.com 黄先生 ★★★★ “Heating blender at ¥599 is way cheaper than imported brands. Only downside: it’s loud — making soy milk in the morning wakes up the whole family. Recommendation: operate in kitchen with the door closed.”

“玻璃杯很有质感，比塑料的安全放心。自清洁能洗干净90%，剩下10%拿刷子刷一下。研磨功能能打咖啡豆和药材。” — JD.com 赵** ★★★★★* “The glass pitcher feels premium — safer than plastic. Self-clean gets 90% clean, the remaining 10% needs a brush. The grind function handles coffee beans and Chinese herbs.”

“使用半年非常满意，宝宝的辅食都是用它做的。鱼汤模式很惊喜，整条小鱼扔进去煮成浓汤，完全没有骨头。” — 小红书用户 宝妈厨房 “Very satisfied after six months — make all baby food with it. The fish soup mode is a pleasant surprise — whole small fish becomes thick soup, no bones at all.”

Pros & Cons

Pros:

• 38,000 RPM + 1,200W — Vitamix-class performance
• Built-in heating to 100°C
• Glass pitcher: odor-resistant, scratch-proof, thermal-shock-safe
• One-touch self-cleaning
• 8 preset programs cover everything
• ¥599 is 1/5 the price of Vitamix

Cons:

• Loud — 78dB at max speed
• Heavy — 6.5kg total, not portable
• Glass pitcher is heavy (2kg) when full
• Large footprint on countertop
• Tamper required for thick blends

vs Competitors

vs Vitamix E310 (¥2,999): Vitamix has legendary durability (7-year warranty) and marginally smoother blends. But at 5x the price, no heating, and smaller pitcher — Joyoung is the obvious choice for Chinese kitchens.

vs Xiaomi Mijia Blender (¥299): Xiaomi is cheaper, smaller, and has app control. But Joyoung’s heating, glass pitcher, and raw power make it the better all-rounder.

FAQ

Q: Can I make cold soy milk? A: Yes — use the Juice program instead of Soy Milk. It blends without heating.

Q: Does the glass pitcher break easily? A: It’s borosilicate glass — same material as lab glassware. Thermal-shock-resistant and durable, but dropping it on a hard floor will break it.

Q: How do I clean burnt residue? A: Fill with warm water + baking soda, run Self-Clean twice. Avoid burning in the first place by adding enough liquid.
