A few years ago, in order to cut vegetables or something else into cubes, you had to learn to do it manually. As a result, beautiful and neat pieces were obtained by no means always and only with experienced chefs.
At the moment, there are many assistive devices, namely:
- Manual vegetable cutter - simple and inexpensive;
- electric vegetable cutter - difficult to find and expensive;
- bulky harvesters - large and expensive;
- meat grinders with a special nozzle are quite competitive;
- The blender with the dice function is a leader in this market segment.
Why is the latter so good? Why do most housewives prefer blenders? Let's try to figure this out.

Why blender?
In fact, the blender for dicing is the same ordinary device with an additional nozzle in the kit. It can grind, whisk, mix and more. It is due to its compactness and versatility, as well as an affordable price that it has remained the sales leader almost from the moment it entered the market.
With the function of dicing, there are both submersible and stationary models.
Let us consider in more detail the most popular of them.
Best Dice Blenders
As in any other segment, there are also leaders and loser models and manufacturers. For example, Bosch submersible with the function of dicing (model MSM671X1) occupies a leading position, however, like many products of this brand.
Main characteristics:
- power - 750 W;
- 12 speeds;
- there is a turbo mode;
- metal immersion parts;
- rubberized handle;
- glass volume 0.6 l;
- weight - 1.5 kg.
7 nozzles included:
- combine harvester;
- dicing;
- chopper / mixer;
- whisk for whipping;
- grater;
- double shredder.
The result is a very compact and convenient mini food processor.
The price of such an assistant is an average of 8,000 rubles.
Other brands are also good, for example, Philips HR 1669.
This blender also resembles a miniature food processor, but costs a little more - around 11,000 rubles.
As for the main characteristics, the following can be listed:
- power is 750 W;
- 20 speeds of work;
- smooth mode switch;
- turbo mode;
- rich equipment;

Indeed, a great helper, able to cook a salad in seconds!
Naturally, there are more budget models in this market segment. Moreover, they are actually not worse, except that the set of functions is slightly inferior.
Budget models
Philips HR 1659
Two times cheaper than his brother, but no worse than doing the job.
Characteristics:
- power is 600 W;
- there are 20 speeds;
- metal immersion part;
- liter measuring cup;
- 5 nozzles.
The disadvantages of the model include the lack of a whisk for whipping. But if you are not very friends with baking, then this blender is perfect. Easily copes with soft products at different speeds. For cutting solid ingredients you will have to use high revs. In general, a good model for 5,000 rubles.
Braun MR 570 Patis FPKHC
Another budget model from a famous brand. Good at work, but there is no case for nozzles.
Characteristics:
- power is 600 W;
- 15 speeds of work;
- measuring cup 0.6 l;
- metal immersion part;
- 5 main nozzles;
- turbo mode;
- pulse mode.
Such an assistant costs around 6,500 rubles. It copes with the preparation of soups, minced meat, cocktails and desserts.
Zelmer 491.20
High-quality blender from a little-known manufacturer in our country. Assembly and quality of material at height.
Main characteristics:
- power is 700 W;
- metal immersion part;
- 15 modes;
- smooth adjustment of speeds;
- large measuring cup (1.2 l);
- 5 nozzles;
- turbo mode.
The cost of this miracle of technology is on average about 4,000 rubles. Convenient nozzles, not very noisy at work - this is how users characterize it.Of the minuses stands out rather big weight of the device.
Vitek VT-1480 GY
The model is from a fairly well-known company. It will delight not only the price - from just 3,500 - but also the appearance.
Main characteristics:
- power is 800 W;
- 5 modes;
- made of metal;
- measuring cup of 0.8 l;
- turbo mode.
But this particular blender can be cited as an example of the proverb “avaricious pays twice”. The knives get dull quickly, it’s inconvenient to clean the parts of the device, that is, instead of joy and time saving, you will get an additional problem and work.
Conclusion
Still, do not try to save on technology. It is better to pay a little more once and use it with pleasure.
Blenders with a nozzle for cutting cubes are more expensive, but if you often make salads, it will become an indispensable assistant in the kitchen.
Happy shopping and delicious fast salads!
