5 Tips For Choosing The Best Blender For Smoothies

To make a smoothie of ingredients like fruits and vegetables you usually mix using a small blender like a stick or a hand blender. When frozen food or ice-cubes are needed, the blender must have the ability to grind ice and have enough power to do such work effectively. You can't make a delicious smoothie without the best blender with the right ingredients and the right amount of energy.

When choosing a blender to buy, there are 5 important things to consider before making a purchase decision, such as:

•  Watts of  Power :

 Blender will require a higher horsepower motor so that a minimum of 500 watts or more of power is required to mix the components into a smooth texture. This is the most important criterion for Blender. A high horse-powered blender can mix the hardest foods and process them quickly and smoothly.

•  Price :

 If you have extra dollars to invest, a high-performance blender can be a great option. A high-end blender offers some features that make smoothies easier to make. The most commonly used high-end blenders are Vitamix and Blandtec. Both of them are made for high quality and are used frequently. A high-end blender will cost you about $ 400 or more.

A mid-range blender can cost you about $ 80 - $ 120 or more. These blenders are well equipped and have the ability to make smoothies on a regular basis

Cheap blenders cost around $ 30 or less. I think it is better for you to have a mid-range blender or a high-end blender.

•  Pitcher / jar :

It is also important to consider the jar that came with the blender. The size of a jar, usually the size of some blender pitchers is 32-ounce, 48-ounce and 64-ounce blender.

Another issue to consider is, is the jar plastic or glass? Plastic jars do not break easily. However, it can scratch and create bacteria, stains and odors. 

A glass jar is heavier and breaks more easily if accidentally dropped. However, glass jars can be easily cleaned. However, you should choose a BPA free polycarbonate pitcher that is tear-proof. It does not scratch easily.

•  Easy to Operation and Clean :

Blender has all the features you need and most importantly it's easy to handle. Some blenders have a pulse button that lets you press buttons to perform certain blending tasks.

A blender must be clean. Whenever you mix you sprinkle the liquid which will inevitably happen. A push button blender can be quite difficult to clean when the liquid goes down between the buttons. A blender that comes with a dial, touchpad or switch control that is easier to move and clean than a push button blender.

You can choose a blender that has a removable blade that can be easily cleaned. But, sometimes, many people prefer a blender that has a built-in blade that can be cleaned without separating anything while cleaning.

• Stability and reliable warranty :

 You need to buy a blender that has a heavy base, and a tight lid. Heavy bases are important because when a blender runs at a very high speed, vibrations from its motor can cause the blender to run along the counter and even scratch the surface of your counter. Just make sure you are looking for a blender that has a wide, heavy metal base for durability.

The best blender is made for extended periods of time and can be fixed whenever it breaks. Breakdown issues are common for Blender. Thus, when you buy a blender, you need to make sure that it has a warranty for the product and serviceable parts. 

So, you can fix your blender instead of throwing away your whole blender or looking for another one.

All the most important things you need to consider when choosing the best blender for smoothies.
