How to choose a blender: Top 7 best devices and their specifications + customer reviews

Most of the modern inhabitants of megacities can not imagine their life without blenders.

The devices, whose name means "blender", appeared in 1922 and came to the bartenders' liking, and with their light hand they became popular with ordinary people. In 1935 we saw the stationary models as we are used to see them.

In addition to the knives at the bottom of the bowl, designed only for blending, they learned how to chop vegetables and make purees.

Mini blenders ("to go" or sport blenders) appeared later and immediately caught on with athletes and travelers.

These small mobile devices are easy to take with you - they easily fit into a backpack or hiking bag.

Why do you need it?

The maximum weight of the device - 2 kg. The bowl of the mini blender is small - no more than 600 ml. This is the only difference from the older full-sized counterparts.

Mini blender can be:

Immersion. A multifunctional device. Its only disadvantage is that you can't move away during cooking, because the immersion blender needs to be held in the hand. However, it can cope with a variety of products, including hard - nuts, meat, can pierce the ice.
Stationary. Suitable for making cream soup, smoothies or smoothies. On the more capable is not, but from it this and is not required. A palpable plus is the self-cleaning function. Pour water into the bowl and press start. The blender will wash itself, left to pour out the dirty water and wipe the bowl dry.

Appointment Mini Blender - preparing small portions:

baby food;
creamy and puree soups;
smoothies;
cocktails.

On sale you can find mini blenders with a portable bottle - made a diet smoothie or protein shake and took with you. The container has a convenient cap - it perfectly protects against leaks, in addition it is convenient to drink from it..

How to choose and what to look for?

Recommendations are exactly the same as for choosing a full-size model:

Manufacturer. You should not take a device, the name of which you see for the first time. And it does not matter where it is made, in Russia, China or Slovenia.
Guarantee. The shorter it is, the faster the device will fail. On the other hand, if it happens before the warranty expires, it can be exchanged for a similar one and use the new one again.
Power. Mini models are usually low-powered. They don't require anything special, and soft foods like berries, greens, cottage cheese or stewed vegetables can be handled by any device. If you can, choose a device with 300 watts or more. They will be able to chop ice.
The material of the bowl. Plastic or glass. Be sure to smell the bowl if it is plastic. If the smell is unpleasant, refuse to buy it. A glass container is much better. But if you plan to take the device with you, you need to be careful. It is very easy to break the glass, and the cost of such a mini blender will be more expensive.
Material of blades. Choose steel. But the price for such a device will be higher.
Nozzles for submersible devices. The more there are, the smarter the device. Possible options are a mill, a slicing bowl. Also among the additional elements can be a measuring cup, storage containers, travel bottles, thermal cups.
Price. Do not chase the cheapness, but do not overpay thoughtlessly. The most reasonable price for a mini blender with an optimal set of functions - in the neighborhood of 2 000-2 500 rubles.

Handle with a glass bowl should be extremely carefully.

Having broken it, you can send the blender to the trash - you can not buy a spare one, they simply do not make them.

Natalie Says

After consulting with a store manager last year, chose a Bosch MMBM 401, as I am satisfied with its technical characteristics and the price is not expensive, and the manufacturer is known by everyone. For about a year, this compact appliance has been my kitchen helper. No problems with it did not arise, I like the fact that you can even break the ice.
