class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Think about an old-fashioned method of making orange juice. You squeeze and squeeze your oranges by hand and end up with a huge mess and half a glass! Blenders make your life easy.<\/p>\n<p>They are electrical driven machines that juice, mix, chop, crush, grind, liquefy, blend, and emulsify at the touch of a button.<\/p>\n<p>Like most modern kitchen appliances, there is a wide choice. Blenders come in two basic types \u2013 those that stand on a countertop and those that you hold in your hand. Read on for more info.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_do_you_need_a_blender_in_your_kitchen\"><\/span>Why do you need a blender in your kitchen?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In today&#8217;s busy world, there is little time for wasting, especially in the kitchen. Blenders are great helpers, allowing you to make a variety of foods very quickly.<\/p>\n<p>They are hygienic, fast, and easy to clean. Blending your drinks and meal replacements goes a long way to a healthy lifestyle. Everyone from toddlers to teens and adult friends will enjoy your creations.<\/p>\n<p>Blenders save you money in the long run. Too tired to make a meal? Don&#8217;t buy expensive take-outs. Blending up a smoothie, soup, or batter is cheap, easy, fast, and healthy.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Factors_to_Consider_When_Buying_a_Cheap_Blender\"><\/span>What Factors to Consider When Buying a Cheap Blender?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>How often will you use it? <\/strong>If you plan on using your blender often, it must be able to stand out on a countertop. It will become a bind to keep packing it away. If you have limited space, consider a handheld immersion blender as an option.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What will you be blending? <\/strong>Decide what you want to do with the blender. If you want to make smooth baby food, a blender that makes cocktails is probably overkill. If you&#8217;re going to make icy drinks, you will need a more powerful machine. For a single person on-the-go, a blender with a smaller jar is a smarter choice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What\u2019s your budget? <\/strong>Cheap blenders come in a range of prices. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/forbes-finds\/2019\/05\/15\/7-best-blenders-for-any-budget\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Decide on your budget<\/a> before buying and stay within that range. Some expensive machines do not always live up to expectations, and you often get similar features in a better-priced model.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Countertop_Cheap_Blenders_Reviews\"><\/span>Best Countertop Cheap Blenders Reviews<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Oster_Blender_Pro_1200_with_Glass_Jar\"><\/span>Oster Blender | Pro 1200 with Glass Jar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Oster Pro 1200 has a powerful 1200 watt motor and is considered as one of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.juicersplusblenders.com\/best-blenders-reviews\/\">the best blending appliances in the market<\/a>. It is versatile with Smart Settings Technology, seven speeds, and three pre-programmed settings for the most common functions. It also has a pulse feature for manual control.<\/p>\n<p>The blades work with Dual Direction Blade Technology, which gives you extra power to chop and grind ingredients finely. The blades are extra-wide at 3.5&#8243;, and pull the ingredients down faster.<\/p>\n<p>They blend in forward and reverse motion, great for removing ingredients that may become stuck.<\/p>\n<p>The container is a sizeable 6-cup size, made of extra-strong Boro glass, which can withstand thermal shock. The blender comes with a handy extra 24oz smoothie cup.<\/p>\n<p>The machine&#8217;s size is 14.25 x 7.25 x 8 inches, and it weighs 7 lbs. It comes with a 10-Year DURALAST All Metal Drive Limited Warranty.<\/p>\n<h4>Why we like it<\/h4>\n<p>This is an excellent all-around blender that did the job with no fuss. I enjoyed the pre-programmed settings, which made it very easy to use.<\/p>\n<h4>Pros<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Large container \u2013 the container holds 6 cups, approx 48oz, ideal for a family or entertaining.<\/li>\n<li>Boroglass container \u2013 strong, shatterproof, and resists thermal shock. I much prefer glass over plastic, especially glass that does not crack.<\/li>\n<li>Extra cup \u2013 the extra 24oz smoothie cup is a perk \u2014 ideal for a quick on-the-go drink.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Cons<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Only one extra cup \u2013 it would be great to have more.<\/li>\n<li>Noisy \u2013 like most blenders, it is noisy when running.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>What customers are saying<\/h4>\n<p>Users complained that the blender leaked. After some investigation, it appears that the blade, gasket, and screw-on lid needed the correct assembly. In some cases, Oster replaced the cup as it was leaking.<\/p>\n<p>A concern raised by customers was that some replacement parts, like blades, are not available. For glass lovers, take note that the extra jar is plastic, not glass.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, most people are happy with this blender at a very affordable price. The Boroglass jar is easy to clean and always looks new and hygienic.<\/p>\n<h4>Verdict<\/h4>\n<p>I would undoubtedly have this affordable blender in my kitchen. It did everything I needed. It is well priced, easy to operate, and looks great with a shiny nickel finish.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ninja_Professional_BL610_Countertop_Blender_with_Total_Crushing_Technology\"><\/span>Ninja Professional BL610 Countertop Blender with Total Crushing Technology<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Ninja Professional blender features a powerful 1000 watt motor. It has a huge container that holds 64oz, ideal for entertaining or professional use. The container is made of BPA-free plastic and is dishwasher safe.<\/p>\n<p>The blender has a 6-blade assembly, ideal for crushing ice and frozen fruits. There are four manual speeds and four automatic programs.<\/p>\n<p>It offers a pulse function for manual control when crushing or grinding. To clean &#8211; add a few drops of dishwasher liquid, warm water, and run for a few seconds.<\/p>\n<p>The blender measures 10.63 x 8.19 x 15.75 inches and weighs 9.51 lbs. It has a 1-Year Limited Warranty and comes with a handy 25-page recipe cookbook.<\/p>\n<h4>Why we like it<\/h4>\n<p>If you are into entertaining, it has an enormous container. This is a durable and robust machine that crushed up ice in a jiffy.<\/p>\n<h4>Pros<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Large container \u2013 holds 64oz, ideal for use when entertaining.<\/li>\n<li>BPA-free container \u2013 is also dishwasher safe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Cons<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>No extra cups \u2013 it would be useful to have extra smaller cups for a quick grab-and-go drink.<\/li>\n<li>Large size for home use \u2013 it is large and heavy and will have to be left standing on a countertop. Packing and it away could become a challenge, especially for everyday use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>What customers are saying<\/h4>\n<p>People complained about the pitcher quality and the fact that it cracked soon after buying. The manufacturer replaced the pitcher, but some clients experienced the same problem again. This is a concern.<\/p>\n<p>Another con was that the blade placement in the pitcher makes it challenging to clean, and they are incredibly sharp! On the positive side, the machine is strong, durable, and suitable for larger quantities.<\/p>\n<h4>Verdict<\/h4>\n<p>This appliance is too large for my kitchen. I prefer a blender with a slightly smaller container and also with the option of extra single-serving jars.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hamilton_Beach_58148A_Power_Elite_Blender\"><\/span>Hamilton Beach 58148A Power Elite Blender<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This blender attracted my attention because it is very well priced reasonable low. It also has a smaller size at 6.75 x 9.5 x 15 inches and weighs only 5.62 lbs.<\/p>\n<p>The jar holds 40oz and is made of glass. I always prefer glass, although it can break, it gives me a feeling of cleanliness and doesn\u2019t tarnish as it gets older. The jar has a convenient easy-pour no-mess spout.<\/p>\n<p>With a 700-watt motor, it crushes ice, and the Wave Action pulls the ingredients downwards into the blades for a smooth consistency.<\/p>\n<p>This blender offers 12 blending functions. It also has a pulse feature for manual control. The blender comes with a 3-Year Limited Warranty.<\/p>\n<h4>Why we like it<\/h4>\n<p>If you are looking for a compact, easy-to-use blender with no-fuss and frills, this is a great option. The price is affordable, and the container is glass &#8211; a pro for health-aware people.<\/p>\n<h4>Pros<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Glass container \u2013 BPA-free, dishwasher safe, and always looks new and clean.<\/li>\n<li>Twelve blender functions, easy to operate using the control panel of 5 simple buttons.<\/li>\n<li>Nice size jar \u2013 the 40oz jar is ideal for a family, not too large and not too small.<\/li>\n<li>Easy to clean \u2013 Detachable blades. Jar, lid, and blades are dishwasher safe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Cons<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>No extra cups \u2013 it would be useful to have smaller extra cups for a quick grab-and-go drink.<\/li>\n<li>Glass jar &#8211; for those who prefer plastic, the jar can break!<\/li>\n<li>Noisy \u2013 it is louder than other blenders I tried.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>What customers are saying<\/h4>\n<p>One of the cons mentioned is that the appliance is very noisy. Don&#8217;t use it if you have sleeping babies!<\/p>\n<p>Others reported that the blades did not catch harder, smaller ingredients like nuts and grains. They had to open up the container and stir it to include them in the mix.<\/p>\n<p>On the positive side, the machine is well priced and does the job. Many people gave it a 5-star review and used it daily for a variety of options, from making smoothies to blending healthy baby food.<\/p>\n<h4>Verdict<\/h4>\n<p>This is a cheap blender, so I don&#8217;t expect it to last a lifetime. It looks stylish on my kitchen island and does all I need. I would certainly give it a try at the price.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cuisinart_SPB-7CH_SmartPower_Electronic_Bar_Blender\"><\/span>Cuisinart SPB-7CH SmartPower Electronic Bar Blender<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This 500-watt blender is ideal for blending, pur\u00e9eing, mixing, liquefying, stirring, and ice-crushing.<\/p>\n<p>The jar is glass and holds 40oz. It has a 2oz dripless pour lid with marked measures for adding ingredients while blending. This is also a handy feature for taste-testing when trying out a new recipe.<\/p>\n<p>There is a touchpad to operate the controls. It has 7-speeds with indicator lights for easy reading. A pulse function is available for added control when crushing or grinding.<\/p>\n<p>The stylish look of the chrome-finished machine certainly impressed me. It measures 7.3 x 10 x 13.3 inches and weighs 7.61 lbs. The base has rubberized no-skid feet to stop it drifting around on the countertop.<\/p>\n<h4>Why we like it<\/h4>\n<p>It looks stylish and does an excellent job of crushing and blending. I always choose glass over plastic, so that is a definite plus.<\/p>\n<h4>Pros<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Glass container \u2013 BPA-free.<\/li>\n<li>Multi-speed &#8211; 7-speed functions and a pulse function.<\/li>\n<li>Nice size jar \u2013 the 40oz jar is ideal for a family.<\/li>\n<li>2oz drip-proof pour lid \u2013 comes with handy measurement markings.<\/li>\n<li>Easy cleaning \u2013 the glass jar is dishwasher safe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Cons<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>No extra cups \u2013 it would be useful to have extra cups for a quick on-the-go smoothie.<\/li>\n<li>Touch screen controls \u2013 for those who prefer manual buttons, this may be a turn-off.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>What customers are saying<\/h4>\n<p>This machine is far less popular than the others I reviewed. A pro is undoubtedly the glass container.<\/p>\n<p>A common complaint was the fact that it overheated, stopped working, and had to be left to cool down. This is possibly due to the over-use of the lower-powered motor.<\/p>\n<p>On the positive side, the machine looks stylish and comes from a renowned manufacturer. People who like tech-savvy controls enjoyed the flat-screen panel, saying that it cleaned well and has no grime-collecting buttons.<\/p>\n<h4>Verdict<\/h4>\n<p>I would look for the same features at a lower price. The blender worked well for me, and I enjoyed the glass container. An issue to consider is whether you prefer manual buttons or touch-button controls.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"KitchenAid_KSB1570OB_5-Speed_Blender\"><\/span>KitchenAid KSB1570OB 5-Speed Blender<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This blender got my attention with its stylish Onyx Black and Empire Red color options. It has a 550-watt motor and will crush ice and frozen fruits.<\/p>\n<p>It features Stainless Steel blades that operate with Intelli-Speed Motor Control. This function automatically senses the contents and adjust the speed accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>It also has a unique Soft Start feature, which starts the machine blending slowly to pull the ingredients down, and then increases as the speed to the selected setting.<\/p>\n<p>The blender has a solid die-cast metal base that prevents it from drifting around on the countertop. It is a slightly bigger machine at 8.5 x 9 x 16.3 inches and weighs 10 lbs.<\/p>\n<p>The sizeable 56 oz. jar is plastic and BPA-free. It has five speeds, a Crush Ice, and a Pulse Mode, and it can stir, chop, mix, pur\u00e9e, or liquify. It comes with a 1-Year Full Warranty.<\/p>\n<h4>Why we like it<\/h4>\n<p>This blender has a great look and was powerful enough to crush ice. The settings are easy to use, and the heavier weight gives a professional feel.<\/p>\n<h4>Pros<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>50oz jar \u2013 larger size jar for families and entertaining.<\/li>\n<li>Versatile functions \u2013 offers five speeds, a Crush Ice and Pulse Mode.<\/li>\n<li>Stainless Steel blades \u2013 strong, durable, and easy to keep clean.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Cons<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>More expensive.<\/li>\n<li>No extra cups \u2013 it would be useful to have smaller extra cups for a quick on-the-go smoothie.<\/li>\n<li>Larger and heavier \u2013 not easy to pack away, would have to stand out on a countertop.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>What customers are saying<\/h4>\n<p>The main concern was that the blades rusted over time. Stainless Steel should never rust, so one wonders why.<\/p>\n<p>People also mentioned that the lid does not lock and contents tend to splash out. It is probably a good idea to fill it with fewer ingredients to stop this from happening.<\/p>\n<p>On the positive side, the machine looks super stylish and got many 5-star reviews. Users enjoy the flat-screen panel that is very easy to operate and keep clean.<\/p>\n<h4>Verdict<\/h4>\n<p>The sturdiness and ease of use impressed me. It is slightly higher priced, but it is worth the extra cost. I prefer a glass container, but this one is BPA-free so that I can live with that.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ninja_QB900B_BlenderFood_Processor\"><\/span>Ninja QB900B Blender\/Food Processor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Ninja caught my eye because it has no control panel! It has a unique push-control that operates by merely pressing down on the large top button.<\/p>\n<p>It is ultra-easy to use, small and light at 11 x 12.2 x 7 inches, weighing 4 lbs. The 400-watt blender comes with a 1-Year Warranty.<\/p>\n<p>It has a sizeable 48oz plastic pitcher jar with an easy-pour spout and a flip-lid. It also has an additional plastic 16oz chopper bowl with lid.<\/p>\n<p>Pitchers are BPA-free and dishwasher safe. The blender has a 6-blade and a 4-blade set, both work with Stacked Blade Technology.<\/p>\n<p>To operate, push down the button and release it when done. The base is non-slip, and it didn&#8217;t move around on the counter.<\/p>\n<h4>Why we like it<\/h4>\n<p>For ease of use, lightness, and convenience, nothing beats this little model. It is an excellent addition to my kitchen.<\/p>\n<h4>Pros<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Very affordable \u2013 this is a steal.<\/li>\n<li>Easy to operate \u2013 there is no control panel. Push the button on top, and the motor starts.<\/li>\n<li>Light, compact, and not noisy \u2013 easy to take along on a trip or to the office.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Cons<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Very basic design &#8211; If you are looking for a more sophisticated machine, this is not it.<\/li>\n<li>Changing cups &#8211; Chopping requires a different bowl and blade assembly, which can become tedious when you are in a hurry.<\/li>\n<li>Not for weak hands \u2013 not ideal for people who have painful hands.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>What customers are saying<\/h4>\n<p>Many people found this to be an excellent gift for younger people setting up a first-time home. They also motivated their teens to blend up healthy smoothies \u2013 a definite pro. It is light and compact and can be packed to take along on a trip or to the office.<\/p>\n<p>The main concern was that the motor burnt out or stopped working. This is a cheap machine with limited power.<\/p>\n<p>I would not push it too far, but it certainly blended up very acceptable smoothies for many. If you suffer from weak hands or arthritis, the large push button is not a good option.<\/p>\n<h4>Verdict<\/h4>\n<p>This fun little machine impressed me! It makes an ideal first-time blender to let you experiment. If you become a blending fan &#8211; like me &#8211; you can invest in a more expensive model at a later stage.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Most_Affordable_Personal_Blenders_Under_for_Making_Smoothies\"><\/span>Most Affordable Personal Blenders Under for Making Smoothies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"NutriBullet_NBR-1201_600_Watts_Original\"><\/span>NutriBullet NBR-1201 600 Watts (Original)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This 600-watt motor blender is also super easy to operate. It has no fancy control panels or buttons. As you push down on the pitcher, the blades spin at one pre-set speed and pulverize your ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>It comes with a 24oz cup and an 18oz cup, both with Stay-Fresh resealable lids. The containers are made of durable BPA-free plastic.<\/p>\n<p>The Stainless Steel Steel blades function with a Cyclonic action that sucks the contents down and crushes tough products like nuts and ice.<\/p>\n<p>This blender is great for nutrient extraction as it breaks up stems, seeds, and skins where the essential nutrients lie.<\/p>\n<p>For easy cleaning, the blades are removable and the cups are dishwasher safe. This blender has a 1-Year Limited Warranty. Size is 12.87 x 9 x 13 inches, and it weighs 7.05 lbs.<\/p>\n<h4>Why we like it<\/h4>\n<p>It is super easy to use this blender.

If you suffer from weak hands, hand pain, or arthritis, the push-down action will not be a good option for you.<\/p>\n<h4>Verdict<\/h4>\n<p>You will enjoy using this blender. It is very affordable and did a great job of quickly blending up healthy and nutritious drinks. I took it to the office and whipped up a drink without disturbing anyone.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ninja_BL456_Countertop_Blender\"><\/span>Ninja BL456 Countertop Blender<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Ninja BL456 Blender is a powerful model with a 900-watt motor. It features a push-down action to operate.<\/p>\n<p>As you apply pressure to the pitcher in a downward motion, the blades spin at one pre-set speed and pulverize your ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>The model comes with a 24oz cup and a handy extra 18oz cup.

This design offers an arm that will fit into a mason jar, glass, mug, cooking pot, or another container, giving you a choice.<\/p>\n<p>The Mueller Austria Ultra-Stick features a full copper 500-watt motor and comes with a 100% 2-Year Warranty.<\/p>\n<p>The arm has an ergonomic grip that is non-slip and comfortable to hold. It is easy to operate &#8211; place into your mixture, turn on, and whiz! It works for both hot and cold ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>You have a choice of 2-speed options with eight variable speeds making it ideal for smoothies, milkshakes, soups, baby food, and more.<\/p>\n<p>The blender is easy to clean. Remove the arm and rinse the Stainless Steel finish blades under warm water. Included with the set is a handy whisk. It is light and compact at 15.2 x 5 x 2.8 inches with a weight of 2.1 lbs.<\/p>\n<h4>Why we like it<\/h4>\n<p>I enjoyed the versatility of this immersion blender. I could work directly in a hot pot on the stove or a cold bowl holding a mix for pancake batter.<\/p>\n<h4>Pros<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Very affordable price.<\/li>\n<li>Easy to operate \u2013 place into your container and select your speed.<\/li>\n<li>Powerful motor \u2013 at 500 watts, it easily mixes and blends.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Cons<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Not for weak hands \u2013 not ideal for people who have soft hands or have arthritis.<\/li>\n<li>No container supplied \u2013 you need your containers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>What customers are saying<\/h4>\n<p>This blender received excellent reviews. It is easy to use and clean. The main complaint was that the motor could only run for a minute; otherwise, it becomes hot and can burn out.<\/p>\n<p>This is the design! If you need to run the motor for longer, you probably want a countertop blender. Another complaint was the short cable that appeared to get in the way, but most people found a work-around.<\/p>\n<h4>Verdict<\/h4>\n<p>This is a reliable and durable immersion blender that worked well. I would be thrilled to have it in my kitchen.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Breville_BSB510XL_Control_Grip_Immersion_Blender\"><\/span>Breville BSB510XL Control Grip Immersion Blender<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you are an immersion blender fan, then this model is for you.

It is expensive but offers a long-lasting, heavy-duty machine. People found that the trigger-grip was very comfortable in hand and easy to hold.<\/p>\n<p>Like most immersion blenders, it is not suitable for people who have weak or painful hands. People without hand problems also mentioned that is is difficult to take apart for cleaning and does require some strength.<\/p>\n<h4>Verdict<\/h4>\n<p>This is a durable and robust immersion blender that worked well. It is costly, so you would have to be a true immersion blender fan to choose this over a cheaper model.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Key_Features_to_Consider_When_Choosing_an_Affordable_Blender\"><\/span>What Key Features to Consider When Choosing an Affordable Blender?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Type of Blender: Countertop Blender vs. Hand Blender. <\/strong>This will depend on the space you have available. Countertop blenders usually remain standing out and take up a workspace. If you need to pack it away, choose a lightweight model that is easy to carry. Hand blenders are smaller and lighter and pack away in a drawer or on a shelf.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Size and Weight. <\/strong>When considering purchasing a new appliance for my kitchen, where to keep it is always a challenge. If I cannot leave it out on a countertop, it has to be light, compact, and easy to lift.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Motor Power. <\/strong>The number of watts determines the strength of your blender. Cheaper, smaller blenders range from 200 watts upwards. Larger machines offer 700 to 1200 watts or more.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Various Speeds and Pulsing Feature. <\/strong>A model with variable speeds is convenient. You can start slow and then increase the speed as the contents become emulsified. For me, the pulse feature is a must-have. It allows you to manually stop and start the machine by pressing and releasing a button.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Drive Socket &amp; Blades. <\/strong>The best blades for blenders are made of Stainless Steel. It is a durable material that is strong and long-lasting. Stainless Steel is easy to clean, does absorb odors, and does not encourage the growth of bacteria. Drive sockets must be easily cleanable, and removable blades are a pro!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ice Crusher. <\/strong>Your blender needs a powerful motor and strong Stainless Steel blades to crush ice. Look out for special ice-crushing settings or programs, so you can be sure that your model can do this. Smaller models may struggle to crush ice and frozen fruits.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Container Material and Capacity. <\/strong>The choice of the container material is usually glass or plastic. It is a matter of personal taste. Glass can break but always looks new. It is BPA-free and easy to clean. Plastic is lighter than glass but does tend to discolor over time. Capacity will depend on your needs. For a single person, a small pitcher size of 14oz is ideal. For a larger family, you will need a container of around 40-60oz.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Special Attachments. <\/strong>I enjoy a blender that does everything I need without too many extra attachments. Extra jars in different sizes are a perk. Some blenders come with a whisk or a damper. Remember that the more special accessories, the more space you need, and the more time to attach and detach them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keeping it Clean. <\/strong>This is vital. You don\u2019t want a blender with bits of food stuck between the blades. Self-cleaning blenders are great. Always check that the containers are dishwasher safe. If it has removable blades, that is a pro for me.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Warranty. <\/strong>I always look for a product that comes with a warranty. The longer, the better, like that, implies that the manufacturer will stand by and support the product.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_makes_a_blender_good_at_crushing_ice\"><\/span>What makes a blender good at crushing ice?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.juicersplusblenders.com\/best-blender-for-crushing-ice\/\">To crush ice<\/a>, you need a blender that is strong, durable, and up to the job.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Strong Blades<\/strong> \u2013 for ice crushing Stainless Steel blades are a must. They won\u2019t snap and bend and need to be able to smash through the cubes at high speed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Powerful Motor<\/strong> \u2013 it is all about watts. Blenders with low watt motors in the range of 200 to 300 are less likely to do an excellent job than blenders with higher watts over 600.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heavy Duty Machine<\/strong> \u2013 you don\u2019t want your motor to burn out while you are trying to crush ice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Countertop Over Handheld<\/strong> \u2013 a countertop model is way better than a handheld model for this job.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pulse feature<\/strong> \u2013 this option allows you to control the machine manually.<\/li>\n<li><strong>New Technology<\/strong> \u2013 many blenders offer Wave motion or Auto-Blend Technology. This sucks the ice cubes down into the blades, and you don&#8217;t end up with chunky bits in your straw.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Clean_Your_Blender\"><\/span>How to Clean Your Blender<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Keeping your blender clean is vital. You don&#8217;t want bits of food stuck between the blades or under the lid. Follow these easy steps, and your blender will always be hygienic.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If your blender has a self-cleaning feature, add a few drops of dishwasher soap, warm water and then run the cycle.<\/li>\n<li>If you do not have a self-cleaning cycle, fill the container with warm water, add a few drops of dishwasher soap and run for 20-30 seconds. Empty the container, rinse with clean water, and dry using a clean cloth.<\/li>\n<li>Unplug the machine from the power.<\/li>\n<li>Disassemble the jar and blades \u2013 check whether your model\u2019s blades do come apart as some do not. Be careful not to cut your hands! Wash under warm water. Many models have components that are dishwasher safe. If so, place on the top shelf.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t ever place the motor, base, or power cords into water.<\/li>\n<li>Wipe down the control panel with a soft damp cloth. If your control panel has buttons, ensure that you remove any spilled ingredients that have collected around the buttons.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong><em>What motor power should you look for in a powerful blender? Is a higher watt blender better?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A powerful blender will have a motor of 600 watts or more. A higher wattage blender is usually stronger, but lower watt blenders with extra strong blades will also do the job.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>How many watts do you need to crush ice?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Although many smaller machines do claim to crush ice, you should probably look for a blender of 400 watts upwards.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>What foods should you not put in your blender?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Avoid the following<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Whole spices. Many machines cannot grind them finely enough. Use an excellent old-fashioned mortar and pestle.<\/li>\n<li>Boiling Liquids. Pouring boiling liquids into a blender is dangerous. Pressure will build up and may cause the lid to explode off.<\/li>\n<li>Ice and frozen fruits. Unless your blender is powerful enough, cheaper models will end up with bent and even broken blades.<\/li>\n<li>Food that turns to a gluey-mess. Avoid potatoes; blenders do not make great mashed potatoes. It ends up as a starchy mess; instead, use a masher.<\/li>\n<li>Coffee Beans. Instead, use a coffee grinding machine.<\/li>\n<li>Dried fruit. It turns into a sticky mess and clogs up the blades. If you must use dried fruit, soak them first in water and add water to the mix.<\/li>\n<li>Dough. Don&#8217;t use your blender to make a dough. It will overwork the gluten and toughen up your mixture.<\/li>\n<li>Utensils are a no! Don&#8217;t ever put spoons, forks, spatulas, or other utensils into your blender while it is on. This is extremely dangerous.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em>What is the \u201cPulse\u201d function?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The pulse function is usually controlled by a button that you manually push to start and stop the machine. It gives you extra control when crushing or grinding.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Is it OK to blend frozen fruit?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is, provided that your blender is powerful enough and has strong Stainless Steel blades.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Is it healthy to have a fruit smoothie every day?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, it is \u2013 but like most things in life, there are if-and-buts. Fruit smoothies are very healthy. However, they contain high quantities of sugar that are not suitable for people with diabetes.<\/p>\n<p>Fruit smoothies are low in fiber, so you need to add fiber to your diet. Don&#8217;t use smoothies to replace meals; a balanced diet is a must.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion_Which_Low-Cost_Blender_Is_Right_for_You\"><\/span>Conclusion: Which Low-Cost Blender Is Right for You?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For a starter set, I would recommend the Hamilton Beach (58148A).
