Yes. The main features that differentiate blenders from one another are the purpose size, motor speed, control, and design. Let’s have a look at the different kinds of blenders available, so you can choose the one that’s right for you.
Personal blenders are typically single-function blenders that perfectly combine ingredients into smoothies or milkshakes, straight into the bottle! Convenient blending for making a smoothie on the go.
Jug Blenders are more powerful blenders with a larger capacity capability. They also offer additional functionality such as crushing ice, and an auto-cleaning feature. With the Smeg Jug Blender, you can also purchase a Smeg ‘Bottle To Go’, which enables you to also use it as a personal blender, providing you with the best of both worlds.
High-performance blenders are the most powerful form of blender, and make light work of making anything from smoothies to crushing ice. While less powerful blenders may struggle with denser textures and thicker liquids, a high-performance blender can blend a variety of ingredients such as nut butters, flours, vegetables and fruit. High-performance blenders are easy to recognise, with pitchers made of strong and durable plastic instead of glass. This is due to the high amounts of pressure that the high-performance blenders put out.
Hand blenders are most typically used for blending sauces or liquids for cooking. As they are portable and manoeuvrable, they offer great versatility for cooking, baking, or smoothie making, giving you more control over the blending process. They may not be as strong as a jug blender or high-performance blender, due to their smaller size which typically houses a smaller motor.
