A startup called Millo, founded by Lithuania-based inventor Adam Trakšelis, has developed the Millo Air, a blender that produces no motor noise. You still hear the sound of the blades chopping—there's no way around that—but it is stunningly silent:

You probably noticed the blender isn't plugged into anything. It runs on lithium-ion batteries, and reportedly can perform "up to ten blends" between charges. It was designed to be battery-powered for the sake of portability; the entire thing weighs just 3 pounds. Assuming the battery's not replaceable, however, does bring longevity concerns, though the company offers a 10-year warranty.

In terms of power, the machine reportedly tops out at 450W, and is "able to crush ice, nuts or full size carrots in a matter of seconds."

Interestingly, the company plans to use the base to power other devices in future:

The Millo Air has been successfully Kickstarted, with 26 days left to pledge at press time. The unites are priced at $220.
