How to choose the best blenders

After examining the review of the best products currently on the market, it is now only right to explain to you what are the characteristics to look for in a blender, which we will list below:

Motor power Blades Functions

Motor power

First of all, there are two types of motors: DC, direct current; AC, alternating current. The first type is common to most blenders, especially non-professional ones that boast great performance, but tend to overheat. The second, on the other hand, are less common because they have a professional use, and therefore can guarantee long work sessions without various overheating. For DC motors, our advice is to opt for a high wattage, so as to be able to obtain great satisfaction, while for AC motors we suggest buying instruments with a variable wattage from 400-500 to 800W.

Blades

On the market there are blenders with different characteristics, especially on the number and design of the blades. Generally, products of this kind have four smooth blades, while the professional models (the expensive ones) have six. As for the design, many products have a linear structure, while few models have a propped design. In any case, we suggest to take those with four blades, because they are characterized by an excellent price / quality ratio.

Functions

As a last factor we want to find the secondary functions. Usually, inexpensive blenders do not have secondary functions, at most that of turbo-boost. Premium products, on the other hand, can have different technologies, each created to perform a specific job. For example, we can find the ice crusher function (to crush ice for cocktails), or the one to create smoothies.
