Joyoung P132 Blender Review 2026: The ¥369 Soy-Milk Machine With a Hidden Cleaning Tax

The Joyoung P132 is the best-selling low-noise blender on JD.com right now — over 500,000 cumulative reviews and a “no-filter soy milk” claim that mostly holds up. It’s a 1.75L machine with 10-leaf steel blades, a claimed 38dB noise floor, a 12-hour timer, and a one-key self-clean cycle, and it costs ¥369 on promotion (¥387.09 with the national subsidy, about $54). What the spec sheet doesn’t tell you: SMZDM’s most-shared P132 user essay is titled “I spent ¥369 and after a week I’d rather buy soy milk at the breakfast shop,” and its 16 commenters split almost evenly between “cleaning is a dealbreaker” and “for a family of four it’s a no-brainer.” Xiaohongshu’s biggest P132 thread (2,378 likes) still recommends it at “three hundred-something for a big-capacity blender.” The honest verdict: the P132 makes genuinely smooth, filter-free soy milk — but you’re not buying a blender, you’re buying ten minutes of cleanup per batch, and that trade only makes sense for daily-use households. Conclusion: ✅ Best Value for families who’ll use it 5+ times a week; ⚠️ skip it for singles or occasional use.

What Chinese Users Say

The P132 sits in one of the busiest review ecosystems in the Chinese kitchen-appliance category: SMZDM hosts a 16-comment real-user deep-dive plus recurring national-subsidy deal threads, and Xiaohongshu returns dozens of owner notes — the largest recommendation note has 2,378 likes, and the largest “serious test” note has 1,146. The debate is unusually sharp: everyone agrees the slurry is smooth, and everyone disagrees about whether the cleaning workload is acceptable.

The Cleaning Tax: “Self-Clean” Leaves the Hard Work to You

“The one-key self-clean ran for a minute, I opened the lid, and the bean pulp on the wall was still there — sticky. The blade gaps and the wall need a brush, the lid’s silicone seal needs to come off separately. All washed and laid out to dry: nearly ten minutes.” — SMZDM user deep-dive essay (2026-06-12)

The article’s core finding matches Xiaohongshu’s complaint notes almost verbatim: the self-clean cycle flushes surface foam but misses blade-gap pulp and the seal ring. One XHS owner (P132 six-month review, 99 likes) calls the daily routine “rinse, brush, disassemble, dry.” Commenters split on whether that’s fair: one SMZDM commenter (2026-06-13) argues “lazy people shouldn’t buy any kitchen appliance — you wash dishes when you cook, this is the same,” while another’s reply is simply “thanks, not buying.”

The Timer Trap: 6-Hour Soak Means Scorch Risk

“The fifth day, the bottom scorched slightly. The timer left the soaked beans in the jug for six hours, the sediment settled and roasted during heating — the soy milk picked up a faint burnt taste. The scorch needed a scrubber pad to remove, and the non-stick coating picked up fine scratches.” — SMZDM user deep-dive essay (2026-06-12)

Prescheduling is the P132’s headline feature, but overnight presets are where the real-world failure mode appears. XHS owners report the same pattern (E03 error codes in one note, a hairline crack in another after a month), which is why the practical advice in the comment threads is to use the timer for morning starts within a few hours, not overnight soaks.

The Family Counter-Argument: 5 Servings Make the Math Work

“One person, sure, it’s a hassle. But a family? I drink a cup in two minutes and the ten-minute cleanup is spread across four or five people. If you’re feeding kids and grandparents, it pays for itself.” — saiss, SMZDM community comment (2026-06-28)

“Self-ground tastes richer and creamier. We’re living, not just surviving.” — baifuqu, SMZDM community comment (2026-07-12)

The strongest pro-P132 voices are all multi-person households. Mianhuabei (SMZDM, 2026-06-22) notes the sibling model B70 has a detachable blade base and bought the P132 anyway at ¥370; Feisibuke’s reply (“brushless motor, it’ll run a decade”) is the durability counterpoint to the coating-scratch complaints. XHS’s 2,378-like “three hundred-something big-capacity blender” note and the 1,146-like “is the door really closed? full P132 test” note both frame it the same way: at this price, the smoothness-per-yuan ratio is unbeatable if you’ll actually use it daily.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

• Genuinely smooth, filter-free soy milk — slurry is fine enough to drink straight
• ¥369-387 national-subsidy price with 500,000+ JD reviews behind it
• 12-hour timer works well for short-horizon presets (morning starts)
• 1.75L covers a family of four in one batch
• Quieter than the previous generation, though not the claimed 38dB

Cons:

• “Self-clean” misses blade gaps and the seal ring — expect ~10 minutes of manual cleaning per batch
• Jujube peel (and similar skins) never grind fine; the official advice is to peel first
• Long timer soaks can scorch the base; coating shows fine scratches after scrubbing
• Real noise is closer to a small countertop blender than a library
• No detachable blade base (the ¥999 B70 has one)

The P132 beats the B3 on noise and smoothness at a lower price; the B70 is the “no-compromise” pick with a detachable blade base and genuinely quiet operation but costs 2.6x more; the K7Pro’s ¥2,452 tag is hard to justify unless you specifically want its 6-blade batch capacity. For most buyers the real choice is P132 (¥387, manual cleaning) vs B70 (¥999, no dead corners).

FAQ

Q: Is the P132’s soy milk really filter-free? A: Yes for soy beans — SMZDM’s deep-dive confirms the slurry is fine enough to drink directly. But skins like jujube peel survive the 10-leaf blades, so peel or buy pre-peeled jujubes (a commenter’s tip that several XHS owners echo).

Q: How bad is the noise actually? A: The 38dB figure is a lab number. The SMZDM reviewer describes it as “a small blender running on the nightstand” — audible through a closed kitchen door, but not a banshee like the B3’s ~95dB hard-item mode.

Q: Does the one-key self-clean replace hand washing? A: No. It flushes surface residue; blade gaps, the wall below the rim, and the silicone seal still need a brush and separate rinse — roughly ten minutes per batch, which is the article’s core complaint.

Q: Is the P132 safe for a family with kids? A: Yes on the cooking side — it’s fully automatic with an anti-overflow design. The concerns are the coating (fine scratches after scrubbing scorch marks) and the hot jug, so keep kids clear during and right after cycles.

Rating: 7.8/10

Who should buy this: Families of 3+ who make soy milk, porridge, or nut drinks at least 5 times a week; buyers on a strict budget who accept a daily cleaning routine; anyone upgrading from a cheap 200W blender who wants truly smooth results.

Who should skip: Singles and couples who’d use it once a week (the cleaning cost per use is brutal — the SMZDM essay’s “just buy breakfast” argument applies); noise-sensitive sleepers who preset overnight runs; and anyone who refuses to hand-wash a blender — that person should spend ¥999 on the B70 with the detachable blade base.
