Blenders have become essential in our kitchen. Most of the dishes, desserts, and drinks require you to have one. Not only does it make cooking and preparing food easy, but it also makes everything tasty. Once you have a blender, you can certainly find a lot more things to do using it. Choosing a blender might look effortless, but with plenty of choices and functionality, you might have a challenging time in picking. To help you make a smart decision, we list down some of the considerations to make sure that what you purchase will be a good fit for you and your kitchen. 

What Container Material And Size Would You Like To Get?

There are three common types of a blender; Plastic, Glass, and Stainless Steel. Plastic-type are the cheapest ones, they are very lightweight and won’t chip. Glass blenders are heavier than plastic ones, they are also durable and not prone to discoloration if you blend herbs or colored fruits. Lastly, stainless steel blenders are the most durable, but also the most expensive type. It can keep your mixture cold, however, you can’t see the consistency of what you are blending inside. Most containers range from 8 ounces, which is the smallest and compact personal one and 64 to 80 ounces for regular and high-performance blenders. Depending on what you need, you can get a single-serve blender or family size blender. You can determine what size and material would be suitable for your needs.

What Speed And Power Will Be Appropriate For You?

You might not be familiar with it, but blenders have a variety of speed and power options. For example, if we are comparing two popular Vitamix blenders in terms of their horsepower, the 5200 model has a 2.0 HP motor where the 7500 model motor is 2.2 HP. The higher the wattage the more powerful the blender will be. The 2.0 horsepower can already chop through everything. However, blenders tend to overheat so you can find something with high horsepower with cooling fans included. A powerful blender motor will be the best choice if you will use it for a complex task, but you can opt for lower horsepower if you will be using it for juices and sauces. In terms of speed settings, choose one between 4-8 speed settings so you will have enough control over the speed. You can also choose one with a pulse button, as it allows you to produce finer consistency. 

What Is Your Budget?

The price of the blender is a huge consideration in making a decision. Blender prices for the most part have a variety of price ranges. There are affordable options for personal use and expensive ones for high grade and professional cooking. Ponder and assess your budget and needs before you make a purchase. There are plenty of good deals you can buy on the market like deals with the special attachment included. You can get a blender with cups, bowls, and the likes for free. 

Many of us are not aware of the consideration in getting appliances and end up getting things that are not fit for us and our needs. With all these points mentioned, you can now choose a blender that will be suitable for you. Like all things, choosing something that we will use and will spend money on is worth proper research. Now you can purchase your blender, and start mixing.
