Recommendations for and reviews of different types of blenders, from high-end blenders to portable single-serve blenders.
With so many different types of blenders available on the market, from very cheap to nearly unaffordable, it can be hard to work out which blender is best for you.
First you’ll need to ask yourself how serious you want to be about blending. Will you be using your blender just once a month, or more like every day? And is it just for preparing green smoothies, or also for soups and butters?
If your budget is high and you want to be serious about blending, it’s worth shopping around for a reliable high-end blender.
Powerful high-end blenders may cost a bit of money, but they yield excellent results and last for many years without any issues.
In addition, they usually come with a very generous warranty, so you don’t have to worry about your brand new blender breaking down anytime soon.
