CHOOSE THE RIGHT BLENDER
Before you buy, think about how you work, what you eat and what you want to blend.
What's on the menu? Think about your favorite meals.
If you prep a lot of hearty vegetables or tough nuts, look for a blender with a variety of chopping and dicing settings, plus a powerful motor.
If smoothies, cocktails and soup are your specialties, choose the best blenders for smoothies that offer precision pureeing and powerful ice crushing. Be on the lookout for a juicer attachment as well.
If you're a foodie with too many favorites, look for a blender with attachments and accessories to take on all types of recipes.
Prep by numbers
How much food do you usually prepare? A large-capacity blender is ideal for entertaining and hosting, while a more compact design, like a hand blender, provides efficient power for smaller servings. Easy-to-read measurement markings on the container are a plus, too.
A matter of size
Think smart and think first about where you'll store your blender. Choose a compact design or a hand blender if space is an issue, or go for the full-size design if you have cabinet or countertop space.
Need for speed
Be mindful of the number of settings on the blender and make sure it has the basics for what you make the most.
Take the pulse
The popular pulse setting provides bursts of power for hands-on precision, which may come in handy when pureeing.
Have an edge
Check the blade construction. For prepping a lot of tough ingredients, like ice and nuts, look for an ultra-durable stainless steel blade.
