When it comes to cooking, one of the most important utensils is a blender. Some of us may prefer the traditional way of using a mortar, some prefer a regular blender, while others may prefer a hand blender.
There are many blender options in the market, such as common blenders with a larger base and overall size, suited for heavy or bulky use, while hand blenders are much more compact and lightweight. Hand blenders have several advantages over regular blenders such as:
- Smaller
- Easy to use
- Easy to clean
- Takes up less space
Choosing The Best and Worthwhile Hand Blender For The Family
Choosing the most suitable hand blender can be difficult due to how many options there are in the market. Here’s a list of important details you should take note of when choosing the best hand blender!
- Brand: To ensure you will get the best-desired performance from a hand blender, you should choose one from a good brand. There are many brands available in the market, but normally, people will buy from brands that are already widely known in the local market.
- Motor: The real test of a hand blender is its motor efficiency. Hand blenders with good motors are able to grind and chop up ingredients easily, as compared to blenders with weaker motors. Look out for a hand blender with a motor capacity between 250 and 500 watts!
- Speed: It is much better if you buy a hand blender that has several different speeds. Variation in speed helps obtain better control — some hand blenders come with 2-speed variations while others even have 5-speed variations.
- Weight: Alongside the above factors, you should also consider the weight of the hand blender while using it. Since you have to hold it up during the usage, it is important to choose a lightweight blender!
Don’t forget to check on product guarantees — electronic goods are sometimes vulnerable to damage during use. Hence, choose a product that is able to offer you maximum warranty time.
