Mixer & Smoothie: models and buying criteria
Not a hands-on test. There is no verified current price history for these models, so we do not award scores, a test winner or a price verdict.
Buying criteria
- Motor power and speed: Higher wattage and RPM generally mean better crushing of ice and frozen ingredients, but also more noise and heat.
- Container capacity and material: Glass, plastic, or stainless steel jugs differ in durability, weight, and ease of cleaning.
- Blade design and number of blades: More blades or specialized shapes can improve blending consistency, but not always.
- Controls and presets: Simple switches vs. digital programs for smoothies, soups, or crushing ice.
- Ease of cleaning: Dishwasher-safe parts, removable blades, and self-cleaning functions save time.
