Blenders Buying Guide
Choosing the Right Blender

Consider these factors when buying a hand, benchtop, or personal blender:
- Match your blender to your dietary needs. For instance, a stick or benchtop blender with cooking functions is perfect for soups.
- Look for removable, dishwasher-safe parts to simplify cleaning.
- Power isn’t everything! Assess blade quality and settings for optimal performance.
Types of Blenders
Blender

Blenders are powerful and great for frequent use, especially for families or those preparing large quantities.
- Compact kitchens or chefs may benefit from multifunctional blenders that chop, dice, and even cook.
- Choose BPA-free jugs. Tritan offers durability and lightweight convenience, while glass is sturdy but heavier.
Stick Blender

Stick blenders are ideal for quick tasks, such as blending soups in a saucepan. They are easy to store and use.
- Look for models with accessories (whisks, chambers, kneading tools) for added versatility.
- Choose an “open foot” design to minimise splashes and spills.
- Ergonomic handles improve usability but ensure performance isn’t compromised for comfort.
Personal Blender

Personal blenders are perfect for smoothies and juices on the go, designed for busy lifestyles.
- Opt for models with multiple containers, especially in shared households.
- One-touch models offer speed, while variable settings provide greater control.
- Ice-crushing functionality is great for refreshing summer drinks.
