If you are choosing a blender for your house or office for the first time, it can be overwhelming to find all sorts of blenders in the market. While it can be tempting to readily go with what’s is currently being promoted or on sale, it will help to know the difference between each type so you get the most out of your money.  Here, we list down some of the common types of blenders that you will encounter, and their basic functions and uses.

Single-serve blenders – this is one of the most popular types and also one of the most affordable to buy. Single-serve blenders are electric blenders that can make smoothies fast. One blender can produce up to 16 oz blended product. One of the advantages of this type of blender is that is can conveniently fit in a tiny kitchen.

Hand-held blender  if you are looking for classic ones out there, used to slice and blend just about anything. You can manually blend your ingredients in a bowl using the different sets of blades that come along with it. This also now comes with cordless versions for better portability. Although it is indeed convenient to use anywhere in the house, this is not the best option for blending harder ingredients like squash and cucumbers.

Full-Size Blenders – for those who enjoy preparing healthy meals for the family, the more practical choice is the traditional full-size blender. It is large enough for multiple servings, but also compact enough to fit on the kitchen tops. These blenders are also able to process almost all sorts of ingredients, which make them handy for food preparations.

Personal blenders – these days, anything on-the-go and eco-friendly is a welcome product, and blenders certainly did not miss out on this trend. You can opt for personal blenders, which you can use anywhere you are, whether at home, in the office, and travelling. The best part is, most of these personal blenders can also double as your drinking jar. Less effort, and less waste.

Smoothie Blenders – they are commonly called smoothie blenders, but they are actually highly durable blenders that are commonly used for commercial purposes. This means that they can also be expensive. You will often find this in your favourite smooth bar, cafes, and restaurants.  Professional chefs also swear by these types of blenders in making their whole meal preparation easier and the output more consistent.

Knowing about these different types of blenders and their uses can help you assess your own needs. The right type and brand of blender for you will have to match your lifestyle, without hurting the pocket, too much. One important consideration once you have picked your blender is to also assess the ease of cleaning them since this will also greatly determine how long the blender can last with you. With this, before making the purchase, make sure that you are also well-aware of the maintenance so that both your blender and your food stay on top quality.
