Adler Mixer AD 4076 - Glass jar 1,5L Black

Product Information

Vitamix is the brand synonymous with serious blenders for serious cooks, and the A3500 excels at almost any recipe you toss into its large 65 oz/6-cup container. With its four-blade design – two flat, two angled – it can produce creamy smoothies with satisfying mouthfeel in less than a minute, or crushed ice so consistent in shape you might mistake it for soda machine made. It struggled when blending oat milk however; producing a milk-like texture that was affected by a noticeable amount of fine chalkiness per sip. The NutriBullet Pro 900 is perfect if you're a daily smoothie-drinker looking for a smooth and delicious breakfast. On the other hand, that's about all it can do. The single speed setting means you can only puree; don't try to achieve any kind of chunky texture. And the small capacity limits its usefulness for larger meals. In addition to multiple settings and speeds, the blender also comes with a chopping cup that can be used to mince or grind ingredients. Plus, it also includes a recipe book of different sauces and smoothies to inspire your blending. When making smoothies and smooth soups, a tamper can be an important accessory that lets you safely push stubborn chunks toward the blades without having to remove the lid. Some blenders come with a tamper, while others offer them as an optional, sold-separately accessory.

But then there's that eye-watering cost. This is a super-powerful luxury blender, sold for a luxury price. (If you're planning to upgrade from another Vitamix model, you should note that older attachments are not compatible with the Ascent series.)Wattage gives you a rough indication of power, although all of the blenders we’re recommending can crush ice, and it’s more important that you consider the number of speed settings (more settings offer finer control), as well as pre-set buttons for smoothies or pureeing ingredients. The most popular small-batch blenders are at least 600 watts, with some operating at 1000 watts. Since they are for blending small loads and personal drinks, you can get a good blender with lower wattage. The Tribest PB-150 Personal Blender is compact, convenient, and easy to use thanks to only one speed setting. However, we struggled to clean the blending mechanism due to the placement of the blades. The blades are very close to the base, so the area easily collects liquid, but you can’t fit a sponge or brush under the blades to clean it. The blender was also very loud, especially when blending ice or frozen fruit. NutriBullet Rx Cooking Blender

Large pulse and start/stop buttons make for uncomplicated control, and Hamilton Beach simplifies additional options by dividing its control dial into two halves: the left half dedicated to the aforementioned programmed modes and the right half for adjusting variable speeds. A large red LED display takes the guesswork out of keeping tabs on elapsed time or time remaining, depending on selected setting. There’s a measuring cap for incorporating ingredients while mixing at lower speeds, and the lid includes an ergonomic grip that improves the chances you’ll remove it smoothly without splatter. Size: More-powerful blenders (over 1,000 watts) often come with larger bases—to house a bigger motor—and a taller jar to hold more greens for pesto. Even so, nearly every blender on the market should still fit under a standard cabinet. Measure the space on your counter or in a cabinet before you buy.

Always keep the lid on your blender when blending. Otherwise, the contents may very well splatter out, making a huge mess of your kitchen. Make sure your lid is secured tightly whenever the blender is powered on. When blending hot foods, steam will build up, which could blow the lid off. It’s important to release the steam when the blender is off, but always hold down the lid with your hands to help it stay on when blending.

This blender runs on a rechargeable battery that uses a USB connection making a great choice when you don't have an outlet to recharge. It can be plugged into any laptop or recharge station that has a USB port. Though not as powerful as a regular plugin blender, users seem pretty happy with its performance. It also comes with its own ice tray to make suitable-sized ice for the machine to crush into your drinks! Keep in mind where your blender will be stored, as models with more powerful motors tend to have larger bases and bigger blending jars (think 6 to 8 cups) that take up more space and are heavier to lift on and off a counter. While a personal blender might be effective for a morning smoothie, you may require a larger blending jar (typically made of hard plastic or glass) if you’re looking to make a big batch of tomato soup or apple cider slushies. If you decide your blender is never leaving the counter, there are sleek models in an array of colors to match your kitchen aesthetic.The Blend Jet 2 is the ideal size for blending small portions on the go. It has a lightweight and portable design, and it’s easy to move around thanks to its carrying handle. Plus, the blender uses a USB charger rather than a wall outlet for power, so you can take it with you while traveling, and even charge it in your car. Avoid blowing a fuse in your house by using your blender on a different outlet or circuit than other bigger appliances. For example, using a blender at the same time and area of your kitchen as your microwave or air fryer can certainly blow a fuse. Do Blenders Run on Batteries? Some motors are designed for blending tough ingredients, while others are more suited for smoothies and sauces. The Price There's no official definition for how much power constitutes a high-powered blender, but anything over about 1,000 watts puts you into the top echelon of machines. The highest-wattage home machine we could find boasts 1,800 watts. (Smaller-capacity personal blenders don't need as much power to do the same job, making the 900-watt NutriBullet on our list one of the more powerful personal models out there.)
