Frequently Asked Questions
How much power do I really need?
For basic smoothies with soft fruits, 500-700 watts is adequate. For frozen ingredients, ice crushing, and nut butters, look for 1000+ watts. Consider your most demanding use case when deciding.
Can I put hot liquids in any blender?
Not all blenders handle hot liquids safely. Check manufacturer guidelines, as some plastic jars may warp and hot liquids can create pressure buildup. Many glass jar models and some specialized blenders are designed for hot soups.
What's the difference between a blender and food processor?
Blenders excel at liquid-based recipes and creating smooth textures, while food processors are better for chopping, slicing, and working with drier ingredients. Blenders need some liquid to create the vortex action for proper blending.
How long should a good blender last?
With regular home use, a quality blender typically lasts 5-10 years. Factors affecting longevity include motor quality, frequency of use, and maintenance. Blade replacement may be needed before the motor wears out.
