How we tested immersion blenders

Jill Sollazzo

When the experts in the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab assess immersion blenders, we put each to the test in common tasks: blending a smoothie, making mayonnaise and pureeing soup directly in a pot.

The smoothie evaluates a blender's ability to tackle ice and whole strawberries. The mayonnaise test indicates the capacity to emulsify, which needs to happen smoothly and slowly to create stability. The soup test helps us understand the blender's ability to puree large quantities of ingredients (including potato and broccoli) without splatter or leaving chunks.

We also consider the weight, comfort and available accessories for each machine. We review the instruction manual and appreciate quick start guides, helpful illustrations or images and tips or recipes.

Is an immersion blender worth it?

Our experts think it is worth it to add an immersion blender to your kitchen, especially if you are a lover of smooth soups and quick sauces. It's easy to use, reasonable to store and quicker to clean than a countertop blender.

An immersion blender is great for small jobs like making pesto, dips, mayonnaise, whipped cream and even scrambled eggs. Good immersion blenders can whip up smoothies, milkshakes and frozen drinks for one or two people — but that's where they cap out since the motor (and blades) are smaller than a countertop blender and cannot run for a very long time without overheating.

We do advise that you avoid hard foods (like nuts and seeds) or very fibrous ones (such as kale and carrots) because they generally won’t become silky smooth; for those, we do recommend a high-powered blender or food processor. Also note that with an immersion blender, the blade needs to be fully submerged to work; you may find that you have trouble blending very small quantities.

What to consider before buying an immersion blender

✔️ Corded vs. cordless: A cord offers constant power, but it can get tangled or burned or could knock things over on a busy kitchen counter and stovetop. Cordless models are portable and convenient, but they need to be charged between uses or they may lose power before you can finish the job.

✔️ Blade guard vents: The blade guard is the dome-shaped part of the blender arm that covers the blades. We found that wide blade guards with large vents do a better job of circulating the food for better and faster blending. They are also easier to clean because food stuck under the blades is more accessible. Just make sure the blade guard will fit easily in your favorite pots and smoothie cups.

✔️ Handle and grip: To operate an immersion blender, you’ll grip the handle with one hand and press the on, off or speed buttons with your fingers, so it needs to feel comfortable to hold and operate simultaneously. Your hands will fatigue if the handle is too large, if the buttons are too small or awkwardly placed or if the blender feels heavy. Also, the buttons should be easy to press without much force. Ideally, your fingers will fall naturally on the buttons when you hold the handle. We found non-slip rubber handles to be softer and easier to grip.

✔️ Design: Look for a model that's compact enough to store in a kitchen drawer. Though immersion blenders are easy to clean, we prefer models that have a removable blender attachment that is dishwasher-safe.

✔️ Additional attachments: Many immersion blenders function with a motor that can also be connected to attachments for chopping, processing, whisking or frothing. If you already have stand-alone versions of these appliances, you can save money by buying a model without the extras, but they can be a convenient option if you don't own the pieces or want to consolidate your storage. One accessory we highly recommend is a sturdy, tall and narrow blending jar: It helps ensure the blender is submerged, reduces splattering and makes the up-and-down motion needed to blend easier. Plus, you can serve or store food directly in it.

✔️ Wattage: We have found this is less important than other factors. The immersion blenders we tested had motors between 225 and 600 watts and although wattage is an indicator of power, we did not find that it’s a reflection of quality, performance or comfort.

While many people find storing a blender in their kitchen to be worth it, the smaller (and overall less expensive) immersion blender can handle a lot of the same cooking tasks with less fuss. And while they may not be right for, say, big-batch smoothies or crushing nuts into butter (which takes a lot of force), they work totally great for emulsifying soups, marinades, dressings and aïolis and, yes, for making smaller smoothies. In fact, I found that it’s pretty common to own both a blender and an immersion blender — but that the ease of the latter is preferable whenever it can be employed. “I use mine way more than my full-size blender and food processor,” Simply Recipes associate general manager Emma Christensen told me. “It stores in a drawer and you can pull it right out. There’s no transferring. It’s much easier to clean.” No matter which model you’re drawn to — likely from one of the few brands that seem to dominate the market — Cristensen’s points ring true. The immersion blender? “It’s all about convenience.”

Best overall | Best less expensive | Best even less expensive | Best simple | Best less expensive simple | Best with multiple blade styles | Best durable | Best with pan guard | Best cordless

Number of speeds: Some immersion blenders have set speeds, in which case I’ve listed the exact number you can choose from. Others have a variable speed, meaning you control how quickly they’re whirring with a dial or button that moves gradually from low to high.

Extras: Most immersion blenders come with more than one stick and blade. For this, I’ve listed all the additional attachments (whether that’s different styles of blades, whisks, or choppers à la a food processor), as well as any pitchers or cups that will give you a mini blenderlike setup.

Breville Control Grip Immersion Blender

$130

$130

15 speeds | Whisk, chopping bowl with blades, storage jar with lid 

The majority of the experts I spoke to named the Breville Control Grip as their favorite immersion blender. With 15 speeds, it’s the most high-tech of the bunch. “It is on the bigger side,” says food writer and editor Alyse Whitney, “but it’s really powerful.” Food writer and editor Matt Rodbard has had his for more than five years. “For me, it’s just really brought a lot of utility when making soups and sauces,” he says. “Plus I love the way it feels in my hand.” Posie Brien, a recipe developer and writer for the food site 600 Acres, has had hers for even longer — more than a decade. “I love it,” she says. “It’s so easy to use and clean. It’s sturdy and substantial and the motor is great. I really think everyone should be using an immersion blender more often. It’s good for eggs — if you blend your scrambled eggs with one, they’ll be so much creamier and better. It’s good for smoothies. It’s good for sauces of any kind, really.” And no matter what you’re doing, the rubberized lip means it won’t scratch the bottom of any pots, pans, or bowls.

Plus there are all the attachments. “You can use the blender function to purée pumpkin or smooth out a custard for a cream pie, then swap it out for the whisk attachment to whip up some cream to top it with,” says Petra Paredez, the owner of Petee’s Pie Company in Brooklyn and the author of Pie for Everyone. “It has a cup attachment that lets you use it as a regular blender, too, so it can replace multiple tools that would otherwise take up a lot of space.”

Cuisinart Smart Stick Variable Speed Hand Blender

$69

$69

Low-to-high variable speed | Whisk, chopper, measuring cup

The Cuisinart Smart Stick, favored by two of the pros I spoke with, has a variable speed dial that takes the handheld machine from low to high. That’s actually one of the features Christensen likes about it. “The controls are really, really easy,” she says of the stick, which she has owned for about five years. “Clearly, it’s built to last.” Chef and author Virginia Willis can certainly attest to that too — she had an older-model Cuisinart immersion blender for 15 years and only recently replaced it with this one. “I find it to be such a great tool,” she says. “Especially when it comes to making soups, it’s so much safer and easier than pouring the liquid into a blender. Plus if you’re making something like refried beans, it’s easy to control going partway blended instead of fully.”

Mueller Ultra-Stick 9-Speed Hand Blender

$33

$40 now 18% off

$33

Nine speeds | Jar, whisk, milk frother

The Mueller Ultra-Stick was a favorite of Strategist readers from a previous version of this article — and we can understand why. It has four and a half stars and close to 40,000 ratings on Amazon, with glowing reviews about the quality you get for the price. Many people noted the strong stainless-steel body and the force of the blade (it has a turbo speed setting for when you really need to kick it up). “At 500 watts, this immersion blender is more powerful than most,” says one. “The steel feels substantial, and the attachments are very easy to change.” Speaking of those attachments, the Mueller is the only one on this list that comes with a milk frother, a bonus if you like to make lattes at home.

Braun MultiQuick 5 Immersion Hand Blender

$65

$65

Two speeds | Whisk and blending jar

Cookbook author Julia Turshen uses her Braun immersion blender primarily for two tasks: making salad dressing directly inside a deli container (so she can store it in the fridge without dirtying two bowls) and blending soups, especially when she’s looking to purée just some to thicken the body. She appreciates the simplicity of its two speeds, which work perfectly for her needs without giving her too many choices, and she doesn’t “find the cord impacts my usage at all since nothing in my kitchen is terribly far from an outlet,” she says. “Most kitchens can probably say the same.” For two years, this straightforward model has held up great, Turshen says.

Cuisinart CSB-175 Smart Stick

$30

$30

Two speeds | No attachments

For an even simpler blender that also has two speeds but doesn’t come with any attachments, this Cuisinart model is all you need. In 2017, Strategist contributor Hannah Howard said it “changed he5r life” — and all these years later, she still feels the same. When originally surveying the immersion-blender landscape, Howard saw that many came with fancy attachments and extraneous features, like bendable arms, and usually went for upward of $100. She wanted something simpler, so she settled on this extremely affordable unit. “What I love most about it is that it just has two speeds,” she writes, noting that she uses the lower one for things like pesto and the higher one for smoothies and purées. “It has 200 watts of horsepower, which is plenty for a hand blender.” And since it weighs about a pound and a half, it maneuvers easily into all sorts of pots, bowls, and jars (and fits in Howard’s “tiny Brooklyn kitchen drawer”).

KitchenAid 5-Speed Hand Blender

$140

$150 now 7% off

$140

Five speeds | Whisk, chopper, pitcher, three different bell blades

Though it has fewer speeds than the Breville, this KitchenAid model has always been flexible enough for recipe developer (and soon-to-be cookbook author) Jessie Sheehan. “It’s a tool you might not think you really need, but it’s actually super-helpful,” she says. “I have a salad-dressing phobia — I always want other people to make it for me. But this really helps. I can make mayo or a fruit compote, or I can whip egg whites for baking with the whisk attachment. We have a Vitamix we use when we’re making smoothies en masse, but it’s nice to be able to make smaller portions too.” One of the attachment bell blades that come with the 5-Speed is, in fact, meant to be especially efficient at crushing ice. “It’s easy to use, and the cord has never been a problem because it’s quite long,” Sheehan says. “Plus it’s not crazy expensive.”

GE Immersion Blender

$49

Two speeds | Whisk and blending jar

The GE Immersion Blender comes recommended by Richard Rea, executive chef at the Butcher’s Daughter, who uses one at home and in his professional kitchen. In the latter, he says he probably uses it even more than the commercial model they also have on hand, pulling it out for creamy soups, cashew ricotta, hummus, and all types of salsa. “It’s very strong,” he says of the powerful motor and super-sharp blades. “It breaks through nuts — even some big, bulky blenders don’t do that. And it’s super lightweight and doesn’t make much noise (a little hum, but that’s it).” Rea has had the blender in his restaurant for two years (with daily use), and it’s still performing beautifully.

KitchenAid Corded Variable Speed Hand Blender

$55

$60 now 8% off

$55

Low-to-high variable speed | Blending jar with lid, pan guard

I’m a fairly recent immersion-blender fan, but so far, this KitchenAid model has performed great. Like Turshen, I’ve used it for bigger-batch salad dressings (it emulsifies a large amount quickly) and soup. In the latter case, I’m especially appreciative of the pan guard, which fits snugly around the appliance’s sharp metal cage but still allows the blades to whir freely. When I’ve accidentally touched the bottom of my beloved Dutch oven, it doesn’t leave a scrape. Another bonus: I own the black, but it comes in nine colors, if aesthetics are important to you.

In addition to her Breville, Whitney has this cordless immersion blender. Although it also comes with a pan guard, its standout feature is that it’s battery operated. “It’s helpful to not have a cord when I’m blending soup in particular,” she says. “You just charge it up like you would anything. And the charge lasts for a really long time — 25 uses, according to the website. I definitely don’t charge it very often.” Instead of a dial, this one has a variable speed button, which Whitney says is very straightforward.

Top 5: Best Immersion Blenders | 2022 Ranking

 ⭐ Below is a list of the top 5 M-G Immersion Blenders. This material is updated regularly. We remove obsolete devices from here and add the most relevant ones. In July 2022 the best blender in terms of price/quality is Wollmer G522 Katana. 

From a huge variety of immersion blenders, we took the 5 most popular models that often appear in all sorts of tops and reviews and have a high user rating. After that, we conducted a series of tests and determined the winner.

For this we used 3 tests:

• Main nozzle test. We kneaded a mix of milk, frozen cherries and chopped banana, then passed the resulting mixture through a sieve and compared the leftovers.
• Chopper attachment test with vegetables. We loaded a large cut of vegetables inside and checked how well the blenders are able to chop vegetables.
• Meat grinder test. We cut the chicken breast into large pieces and tested how well blenders can grind meat.

Let's not stir up intrigue: Wollmer G522 Katana hand blender won. It showed itself perfectly in 3 tests, has a rich package, is easy to use and copes even with solid products.

⭐ Our choice (2022)

Handles hard food with a maximum power of 1200 W and a titanium blade

Ideal for home use. Efficiently whips, mixes and grinds, and all 3 tests confirmed this

Rich set: whisk, chopper and bowl, smoothie bottle, ice crusher, recipe book

Convenient to use: mechanical operation is intuitive, there is a stand holder

Bosch MSM 88190

Let's start with Bosch, which frankly disappointed us, although we had high hopes for it. Rich equipment and a large number of positive reviews promised an interesting device. The reality turned out to be much more prosaic. Summary test results:

1 test - 2 points: Frozen cherries were not crushed completely.

2 test - 3 points: The vegetables in the chopper turned into a mushy mass.

3 test - 3 points: The same thing happened with meat.

Total - 7 points: You can read the detailed text of the test by clicking on the title below.

Testing Bosch MSM 88190

First of all, we tested the operation of the main submersible nozzle: we added cherries, chopped bananas to a glass and poured it all with milk. A simple smoothie recipe that no device should have trouble mixing. The main difficulty is frozen cherries and their peel. We checked the success of the test by how much of it remains after 30 seconds of work:

Video:

Photo:

The result is depressing. At the bottom of the sieve was a huge amount of unground cherries. We thought that it was the products, but the results of the other participants in the rating convinced us.

Result - 2 points .

After the immersion part, we moved on to checking the operation of the chopper. First loaded inside raw peeled potatoes and carrots. The task of the blender was to chop the vegetables into crumbs. For objectivity, we gave all blenders 10 seconds at maximum speed:

Video:

Photo:

As you can see, some of the vegetables began to turn into porridge even before the Bosch blender chopped the contents. In the video, it is easy to see the potato pieces wandering along the wall while the chopper is running.

Result - 3 points.

After learning about the capabilities of the blender at maximum power, we decided to test how the blender copes with the grinding of denser products at lower power. Therefore, we set the average speed and scrolled through several pieces of chicken breast for 20 seconds:

Video:

Photo:

The minced meat also quickly began to turn into an unpleasant creamy mass, while the difference between the maximum and average speed is insignificant. The blender almost always runs around the advertised 800 watts.

Result - 3 points.

Total - 7 points.

Based on the test results, we left the Bosch MSM 88190 in last place. A large package is designed, rather, to hide flaws in the design of the blender, rather than expand its functionality.

4th place - REDMOND RHB-2913

4th place

High power makes it easy to process solid foods on the device

Processes meat well, can make minced meat out of it for cutlets

Works poorly with frozen berries, grinds them incompletely

Small package, suitable for working with a small amount of products

Chopper does not chop vegetables well, turning them into porridge

Budget option - minimum package

Yandex.Market | 5 320 ₽ | Shop

OZON | 5 320 ₽ | Shop

REDMOND RHB-2913

In fourth place is the REDMOND blender. The device comes with only the necessary minimum of accessories, and the device coped with the work mediocrely. Summary test results:

1 test - 3 points: The cherries were crushed a little better than Bosch.

2 test - 2 points: The blender coped with the vegetables in the chopper worse than all the other participants in the rating.

2 test - 4 points: The work of REDMOND with meat saved the situation. We were satisfied with the result of this test.

Total - 9 points: You can read the detailed text of the test by clicking on the title below.

Testing REDMOND RHB-2913

The start was rather positive. We passed the mixture crushed with a blender through a sieve and washed it with water:

Video:

Photo:

There are much fewer crushed cherry pieces inside. Still not perfect, but already better than Bosch. Confident middle man.

Result - 3 points .

Testing the chopper at maximum power, REDMOND had far fewer problems. Before we go into detail about the test, take a look at it yourself:

Video:

Pictures:

The contents inside the chopper bowl also began to turn into mush before the knives chopped the vegetables, but the remaining pieces were much smaller and no longer swirled so clearly along the walls inside the nozzle. This result was even worse than that of Bosch.

Result - 2 points .

The last test for REDMOND was to grind several pieces of chicken at medium speed. The blender had no particular problems with this test:

Video:

Photo:

The pieces of meat did not turn into porridge and turned out to be quite evenly cut. Our expert group did not have any special claims.

Result - 4 points .

Total - 9 points .

The REDMOND blender was exactly what we expected. There are not enough stars from heaven, but it is quite capable of coping with a simple task. Fourth place.

3rd place Philips HR2655

3rd place

Large set, suitable for working with a large number of types of products

Good quality of the chopper with vegetables, high-quality chopping without turning into puree

Good quality of chopping meat in the chopper

Lack of speed switching, smooth pressing does not allow maintaining one speed of operation blender

Poor quality of the main nozzle with berries

No precise speed control

OZON | 6 890 ₽ | Shop

Philips HR2655

Next on our list is a blender from Philips. We expected a lot from such a technologically advanced model, but in tests it proved to be average. Summary results:

1 test - 3 points: The blender coped with cherries at the same level as the REDMOND machine.

2 test - 4 points: But we were satisfied with the results of chopping vegetables in the chopper: Philips HR2655 chopped them well.

3 test - 3 points: With meat, the result was worse - the lack of precise speed control was to blame.

Total - 10 points: You can read the detailed test text by clicking on the title below.

Test Philips HR2655

We started by testing the main nozzle. The Philips measuring cup is much narrower than the rest of the competition, and has a lid that allows you to take it with you.

Photo:

Average result. At maximum speed, there are no problems with control.

Result - 3 points .

Then we went to the chopper and loaded the vegetables. Before Philips, no other model showed anything intelligible in this task, but the HR2655 showed some result:

Video:

Photo:

As a result, the blender still turned the vegetables into porridge, but before that he managed to grind them. If this blender had a more precise power control system, it could have done better.

Result - 4 points .

Difficulties arose with the last test, because here it was necessary to control the speed of rotation of the knives and try to keep it at average values:

Video:

Photo:

It is really difficult to hold the button in the middle position, the finger constantly breaks off, which stops the engine. Therefore, the end result turned out to be ragged. Because of this, we can conclude that management is more of a hindrance than a convenient feature.

Result - 3 points .

Total - 10 points.

As a result, Philips scored only 1 point more than REDMOND, which helped him to take the final third place in the overall standings.

2nd position Braun MQ 9027X

2nd position

Large number of speeds to handle a wide range of products

Good chop quality with main attachment

High power for hard products

Average quality for working with vegetables in a chopper, not suitable for cutting vegetables for salads

Not the best result for working with meat, not suitable for minced meat

Technological blender

Braun MQ 9027X

In second place was a blender from Braun. After the experience with the device from Philips, we were skeptical about adjusting the speed by pressing, but this time the result was better. Brief test results:

1 test - 5 points: Almost all cherries were crushed with the main nozzle.

2 test - 3 points: Further, the performance of the Braun MQ 9027X went downhill - the result of the test with vegetables was quite average.

3 test - 3 points: The meat test was also not very impressive.

Total - 11 points: You can find the detailed text of the test by clicking on the title below.

Braun MQ 9 test027X

The first thing we did was test the main nozzle, doing the same test as with the previous models. We found the speed control by pressing to be not very convenient. Especially if you want to include not the maximum speed.

Video:

Photo:

Since we were testing at maximum speed, the result turned out to be appropriate - very good. The blender showed a quality comparable to the leaders.

Result - 5 points .

The first disappointment awaited us. The chopper bowl of this blender is significantly smaller than the competition, so we had to load fewer vegetables into it. But for the purity of the experiment, we kept the large cut:

Video:

Photo:

The result is so-so. The contents of the bowl are something between sliced ​​\u200b\u200band porridge, into which vegetables began to turn.

Result - 3 points.

After the previous test, we didn't expect anything special from the blender.

Video:

Photo:

He was acceptable. The meat was chopped into minced meat without turning into porridge. The pieces, however, were not entirely homogeneous - the control problem affected.

Result - 3 points .

Total - 11 points .

Wollmer G522 Katana

Wollmer G522 Katana became an unexpected leader. Unexpected, because this is a new direction of Wollmer technology, which is famous primarily for meat grinders. We were extremely satisfied with the test results of this model:

1 test - 4 points: On the first test, almost all frozen cherries were crushed and passed through a sieve.

2 test - 5 points: The vegetables on the second test were cut into small pieces and did not turn into porridge.

3 test - 4 points: The meat on the third test turned into minced meat, it can be safely used for cooking.

Total - 13 points: You can read the detailed test text by clicking on the title below.

Testing Wollmer G522 Katana

The first test of the model put us in a positive mood. Particularly inspired by the convenient operation: two buttons and 20 speeds to choose from:

Video:

Photo:

The result is good and achieved thanks to the four bladed titanium blade. As it turned out, not a single blender is able to grind frozen cherries to such a state that its remains pass through a sieve. This made it easier for us to separate the leaders from the losers. And Wollmer was among the first.

Result - 4 points .

A confident start, but then a more pleasant surprise awaited us. Chopper test at maximum speed:

Video:

Photo:

The blender easily chopped both potatoes and carrots and then mixed them. This mixture can be easily used, for example, for frying, if you add onions there. If it needs to be brought to a homogeneous creamy mass, then there is a main nozzle that does a good job of mixing homogeneous mixtures.

Result - 5 points .

The last test was just as easy. Confident work at medium power.

Photo:

The stuffing turned out to be homogeneous and without any complaints. But we didn't give it five points, since this option cannot be called the best by a margin, as it was in the previous test.

Result - 4 points.

Thus, the Wollmer G522 Katana becomes the sole leader in testing and receives the title of the best. In addition, I would like to note the rich blender package. In addition to the minimum required set, which includes a whisk, a main attachment and a chopper chopper, the G522 set includes: an ice pick, a holder-stand, a recipe book and a smoothie bottle in which you can make a drink on the road using a removable blade. block.

This model has a very rare feature - it comes with a smoothie bottle. Since other models do not have such a bottle, we did not test it. Therefore, here is a video from the brand itself.

We consider the Wollmer G522 to be the best choice and therefore made a detailed review of this model.

We appreciated the must-have features for a good immersion blender in the kitchen - the ability to mix a homogeneous mass with a immersion attachment and finely grind different types of food with a chopper. Now we know which immersion blender is better to choose for the home.

During testing, we found that adjusting the speed of rotation of the blades by pressing the button is an extremely inconvenient feature. And an impressive package can serve to cover up other shortcomings of the blender, as happened with Bosch.

Eldorado's Choice Kitchen Appliances

You can hardly find a more indispensable and versatile appliance in the kitchen than a blender. Sometimes it seems that these devices are capable of almost everything: from preparing baby formula and smoothies to kneading dough and crushing ice, from cooking minced meat to cutting vegetables and fruits into a salad.

But how do you find the right kitchen helper? Which type of blender is right for you: stationary or submersible? Finally, what attachments and additional features should be considered necessary?

Let's find out together! Let's talk about the most important characteristics that you should pay attention to when buying, and present our own rating of blenders in 2022.

Tips for choosing a blender. What should you pay attention to when buying?

The best blenders for home in 2022

Blender type: immersion or stand

The choice of blender type depends on the area of ​​\u200b\u200bits use. The stationary blender, which is located on the table, with a spacious bowl, perfectly copes with the preparation of dishes from liquid ingredients: shakes and smoothies, infant formula and popular creamy soups with a delicate texture. These devices have high power and blade speed that cannot be achieved in compact submersible models. Careful grinding of vegetables and fruits will allow you to extract all the useful vitamins and trace elements from them, which will surely appeal to adherents of a healthy lifestyle.

In addition, the stationary device will free the user from having to hold the device in their hands: just press the button and the blades will move on their own. Most often, stationary blenders come with only a basic set of knives, but with the necessary set of attachments, they can even handle salad, minced meat or mashed potatoes. But there are some nuances here. Since the blades are fixed on the centrifuge, it is difficult to achieve a uniform consistency. Large hard pieces of food will inevitably stick to the walls, clog into the corners of the bowl and under the knife: in this case, only manual mixing of the ingredients will help. Finally, the most advanced stand blenders often boast cool extras like keep warm.

The immersion blender has to be handled by hand, which can be tiring. But the benefits that it gives the user fully pay for it. With such a device, you will be able to direct the blades yourself to the most remote corners of the bowl, which will allow you to achieve the most even grinding of products and a uniform consistency. An immersion blender is simply indispensable for preparing salads, kneading sauces and dressings.

At the same time, there are many more various attachments for an immersion blender, which often come with the device. Needless to say, this will make the kitchen appliance much more multitasking than stationary counterparts? For example, with a simple whisk you can whip cream or get an amazing cream for a cake, and a dough hook will provide the user with a basis for making homemade bread, buns and even pizza.

Device power and rotation speed

Blender motor power is the main indicator that directly determines the speed of rotation of the device blades and, as a result, what the device will be capable of in general. It is important to understand that the power of submersible blenders, all other things being equal, will be inferior to the power of stationary devices: the latter, by virtue of their design, allow manufacturers to install a stronger centrifuge and a powerful motor. Then it all depends on what exactly you want to do with the blender and how much you are willing to spend on the purchase.

The power of the most budget models varies from 300 to 600 W. This is enough for chopping and kneading liquid ingredients, making sauces, smoothies and soups. It’s better not to even look at models with power below 250 watts if you don’t want to bump into pieces of fruit in your cocktail. If your plans include grinding hard foods like nuts, frozen berries or vegetables, you should look at a device with a power of at least 700-900 watts. For kneading thick dough and crushing ice, it is advisable to have a model with a power of 1000 W or more at your disposal.

In addition to power, you should pay attention to the available speed settings. Everything is simple here: the more speed modes a blender has, the better. For the most energy-intensive and complex tasks, we spin the centrifuge to the maximum, and for simple kneading, we twist the speed - this will allow not only better control of the cooking process, but also save on energy costs. In the most advanced blender models, instead of choosing from several speed modes, you can find the function of smooth speed adjustment using a special knob. This will provide even more control when cutting and mixing products, but will also affect the price tag of the device.

Variety of attachments and functionality

Let's move on to the analysis of possible functions and attachments for a blender - they determine what the device will be capable of. There are no universal standards here: manufacturers act according to the formula "who cares what much. " Someone supplies a whole arsenal of various nozzles in the kit, while someone completes the blender with only one standard knife. Fortunately, nozzles can always be purchased separately. But you can’t say the same about the operating modes - you should familiarize yourself with their assortment in advance. Let's list the most popular and demanded nozzles and blender modes of operation.

Most popular blender attachments

• Immersion nozzle (leg). Used for chopping, slicing and blending food in an immersion blender. Equipped with a protective cap that will protect the user from splashing and keep all the ingredients in the bowl.
• Knives in different sizes. Standard attachments, usually supplied with the device. Suitable for cutting vegetables and fruits into a salad, as well as chopping meat.
• Dicing knife. A very useful attachment for those who like to cook not only tasty, but also beautiful.
• Ice pick. An indispensable companion for lovers of cocktails and chilled drinks.
• Graters. Ideal for grinding soft foods.
• Whisk. Suitable for high-quality whipping of cream, preparation of creams and sauces.
• Pyureshnitsa. Special attachment for smooth mashing potatoes or other vegetables and fruits.
• Dough hook. Eliminates the need for hand-kneading baking dough forever.
• Mill. Small attachment with container for crushing nuts and spices. It can also be used as a coffee grinder.
• Mayonnaise. Special narrow attachment to help combine difficult-to-blend ingredients and whip mayonnaise.
• Vacuum nozzle. Supplied with the container and allows you to pump out all the air from it to keep food longer.

The most useful blender modes

• Pulse mode. Designed for crushing particularly hard ingredients such as ice or nuts. Used for short cycles.
• Turbo. High-speed operation for the fastest and most uniform grinding of products. Suitable for making smoothies, purees and smoothies, but can also come in handy when chopping meat.
• Heating mode. Allows you to prepare soups, hot cocktails and warm purees directly in the blender bowl without the use of additional devices.

Material of the bowl and blades

With the material of knives, everything is quite simple: in most modern models they are made of stainless steel, and this is the best option. Stainless steel blades are tough enough to cut even the hardest foods, resist wear and tear from liquid contact, and are easy to clean.

But with the choice of bowl material, everything is somewhat more complicated. As a rule, manufacturers use one of three possible materials, each of which has its own pros and cons.

Size, design, storage

Immersion blenders usually fit in a cupboard or even a drawer. In addition, they are easy to take with you to the country house, to visit or transport to another apartment if necessary. For stationary blenders, ergonomics is a much more important parameter. Before buying, be sure to evaluate the dimensions of the device: it is difficult to understand from the pictures what gigantic sizes the most powerful blenders can reach!

The issue of storing additional nozzles and other useful peripherals is relevant for both stationary and immersion blenders. If you don't want extra parts scattered all over the kitchen, it makes sense to look after a blender that allows you to conveniently store everything in one place. For example, knives, blades and other attachments are in a bowl, like in a nesting doll.

Finally, not the last argument in favor of this or that household appliance for many is the design of the device. For those who love a futuristic appearance that screams that unprecedented power is hidden under the body of the device, we recommend that you take a closer look at the blenders from Moulinex. Of the inexpensive devices that will fit into almost any interior, it is worth noting stationary models from Kitfort, Bosch and Philips. If you prefer retro design, then KitchenAid's vintage line of premium blenders is sure to please.
