Power

In general, power can vary from 140 to 1200 watts. What this device can do depends on this indicator. For example, low-power equipment is unlikely to be able to grind frozen vegetables, minced meat or ice.

Important! Do not overload the blender. If the model has a small capacity, you can not use it to crush ice or meat. The device just breaks down.

Gear speeds

In different models, this indicator varies from one to twenty-four. Switching can be stepwise or smooth. The best blenders, of course, have the maximum number of speeds. In this case, you can easily select the mode that is most suitable for different products.

Nozzles

This characteristic is no less important than power. Consider the main options for a possible configuration:

1. The main nozzle is equipped with all models. It is used for most jobs: making mashed soup, chopping vegetables, mixing cocktails and more.In some models, a knife can be replaced, but more often it is non-replaceable.
2. Corollas for churning are spiral and teardrop-shaped. Spiral is used for kneading thick dough, and teardrop-shaped for liquid.
3. The mill is presented in the form of a small cup, the knife of which is located at the bottom. With its help, solid products are crushed in a small amount. It is convenient for processing coffee, sugar, breadcrumbs.
4. The grinder bowl includes a glass with a lid and interchangeable nozzles. Thanks to this, the blender becomes a real mini food processor.
5. Using a vacuum pump, air is evacuated from a special container. Thanks to this, the products last much longer.

Important! For the manufacture of the main nozzle, metal and plastic are usually used. Plastic, of course, is cheaper, but it also has disadvantages:

• Do not take risks and grind hot foods.
• Over time, the abrasion of plastic occurs, as a result, it turns out to be in food, the shape of the nozzle is deformed and changes.
• If dropped, the nozzle may break.
• After some time, stains from products that cannot be removed can appear on such material.

Convenient additions:

• All models are equipped with a measuring cup, which is used with the main nozzle.
• Very convenient wall mount. Almost all nozzles are inserted into it.
• The stand can be used instead of mounting on the wall.
