Features of blenders of different types

The blender allows you to mix, grind, puree, and more with ingredients. For this purpose, the device is equipped with special attachments, and also has different operating modes. Therefore, it is important to choose the best option that has all the necessary functions for comfortable work in the kitchen.

Different attachments allow you to prepare food for your meal

Submersible

The submersible device is compact and lightweight. It is a long handle with buttons for adjusting the operating mode and a place for attaching attachments. The equipment can be quickly transferred from place to place, which makes cooking easier. Color, body shape, handle length and other parameters of blenders from different manufacturers differ.

The hand blender is easy to carry and store, even in a small kitchen

Stationary

The appliance with a large bowl and stand is a stationary blender. Food should be placed in a bowl, which is then closed and turned on. The inside of the container is equipped with knives and other cutting devices. Many of these blenders are self-cleaning. To do this, pour warm water into the bowl and activate the appropriate operating mode.

Stationary blenders can have different bowl sizes

Combined

A blender that combines the compactness of submersibles and the functionality of stationary ones is called combined. The set includes a hand blender, attachments, chopper, bowl and can be used as a stationary. However, it is not an alternative to a food processor, as it does not allow squeezing juice and performing other functions.

The combination blender has a higher cost than the hand blender

Criteria for choosing the best blender

Manufacturers present a wide range of kitchen appliances of different sizes, colors, functionality, and therefore the following criteria should be taken into account when choosing:

• bowl and body material. The container for ingredients can be made of glass or plastic. The first material is scratch resistant, easy to clean, durable, but may not withstand strong impacts. The second material - plastic - loses transparency faster due to scratches, often the bowls crack and do not differ in durability. The case of inexpensive models is made of plastic, but there are also metal options with a higher price;

  

  The blender bowl can be of different shapes and sizes

• the volume of the bowl affects the cost of the appliance, the speed of processing the ingredients and the amount of food that the blender can grind in one load. The most common models are with a full volume of 1.5-2 liters, but the usable capacity is about 200 ml less;

  

  Measuring scale for easy dosing of ingredients

• the quality and speed of grinding the ingredients depends on the speed. In the assortment of kitchen appliances from different manufacturers, the main part of blenders has from 2 to 5 speeds. Expensive or professional models can be equipped with 12 or more processing levels. Adjustment is carried out using buttons or a mechanical regulator;

  

  Many blenders have two buttons to adjust the speed.

• the power of the device determines how effectively it cope with the processing of products of different hardness and structure. The power can be from 220 to 700 W. Blenders with a capacity of 600-700 W are common, which cope with the processing of ice and other solid products;

  

  Manufacturers indicate the power on the product body

• the type of food determines the peculiarities of using the blender. Inexpensive devices operate from the mains, to which they are connected with a cable. Wireless models have a higher cost and are equipped with a battery and charger. This blender is more convenient to use due to the absence of a wire;

  

  Battery blender is easy to charge and use

• the number and purpose of blender attachments is an important criterion on which the functionality and efficiency of the appliance depends. The main ones are chopping knives, a whisk, ice fixtures, shredding elements, a blender attachment and some others. They are made of metal, the knives are well sharpened, and the whisk is securely attached to the handle.

  

  A measuring cup is often included with a blender

The choice of blenders is extensive, but you should always determine the purpose of the appliance. For mashed potatoes, a submersible device is optimal, cocktails are best prepared in a stationary, and for both, a combined one is convenient. In any case, the quality of the product is important, as well as its characteristics.
