Immersion chopping: ranking of the best 2019 hand blenders

To choose the perfect blender, you need to determine exactly what is required of it and what characteristics it should have. You can also study the rating of 2019 hand blenders compiled on the basis of customer reviews, because manufacturers do not stand still, and very good models are replaced by simply great ones. But it is better to do both of them: given your own preferences, listen to public opinion.

Determined with the necessary parameters

So, first you need to deal with your preferences. When choosing a hand blender you need to focus on:

• power;
• the presence and composition of nozzles;
• the number of speeds and the presence of turbo and pulse modes;
• nozzle material;
• food (from a network or the accumulator);
• the presence of additional trifles.

To create a personal rating of the parameters that your new kitchen assistant should have, think about what functions it will perform.

Power

This is the main characteristic, which should be decided in advance. Otherwise, you run the risk of getting an unpleasant surprise in the form of unshredded meat fibers wound on blades, mashed potatoes with lumps or a blown motor.

The required amount of power depends on which products the blender will grind. For example, 250 watts are enough to beat eggs, cocktails, and mashed boiled vegetables. Raw vegetables, meat, ice can grind an aggregate with a capacity of at least 400 watts. And even better - 600-800, because the speed of work depends on the power. And it is easier to overload a weak device, in which case it will simply burn out.

Devices equipped with a nozzle for mixing thick dough, generally can not be less than 1,000 watts in power.

Nozzles and their number

This is the second most important parameter that you need to consider when drawing up your rating.

In the lines of all manufacturers there are models with different configurations, which include:

• the main nozzle is the “leg”, which is standard on any blender. She is able to perform most of the work that each device must handle; even the best multifunctional models are equipped with it;
• a whisk for whipping, teardrop-shaped or spiral, in terms of functionality equals a blender to a mixer, allows not only to grind, but also to whip, mix products;
• a mill, needed for grinding small portions of solid products: coffee, sugar, cereals, breadcrumbs for breading, spices;
• multifunctional nozzle (chopper bowl), turns the blender into a mini-combine: allows you to cut any products into slices of the same thickness, straws, cubes of the same size;
• vacuum pump, pumps air from containers for food storage. Vacuum containers are usually included with a unit equipped with a pump. Products are stored in them longer than in ordinary dishes.

Number of speeds, pulse mode, turbo mode

Several speeds - an option is optional, but convenient. The presence of more than one speed allows you to select the operating mode for a particular product. For example, you can chop a banana at a low speed, and meat at a higher speed. Or in a low dish, so that its contents do not splatter, turn on a low speed, and in a high - high.

Pulse mode allows you to smoothly, without turning off the blender, switch speeds, changing the force of pressing a button.

Turbo mode is a short-term significant acceleration of normal operation at the last stage of product processing. Manufacturers claim that in this way the puree mass is more homogeneous, tender.

Nozzle Material

This parameter affects the strength of the nozzles, their appearance and the ability to work with hot products:

• plastic "leg" is less strong and durable; during use, it absorbs the colors of products, becomes stained; afraid of hot foods (this does not apply to heat-resistant plastic);
• the metal nozzle is devoid of these disadvantages, but it is heavier and more expensive.

In the case of a limited budget, a plastic nozzle is preferred. But if you plan to whip hot products with a blender, choose a metal nozzle. It is more durable, and prettier.

Power (from mains or battery)

Basically this device works from a network. But among the 2019 blenders (and even a little earlier), battery-powered models appeared. They are charged 3-4 hours to work for 20-30 minutes. They are heavier, but less powerful. This means that not all functions of those wired devices handle are available to them.

In the case of a power source, everyone chooses for himself whether the game is worth the candle. The battery type is chosen if the outlet is far away or, for example, there is a pet that can bite the wires.

In other cases, it is better to choose devices with wires. Moreover, manufacturers offer different ways to hide them. There are blenders with a convenient mount, but there is a special button that removes the wire into the handle.

Additional little things

This item is more likely for aesthetes. An ordinary workhorse will honestly perform its functions without additional equipment. Nevertheless, manufacturers supply devices with trifles that increase their convenience, ergonomics, aesthetics, which means that this item can affect the rating of submersible blenders.

Additions are as follows:

• wall mount (either in the form of a loop on the unit itself or in the form of a special suspension device where all the nozzles are placed);
• the stand replaces the wall mount, is located on a horizontal surface, for example, on a table;
• measuring cup with a marking;
• rubberized handle, which prevents the blender from slipping out of the hands (if they are wet or greasy, which happens during cooking).

Choose a specific model

Having decided on the necessary functionality, proceed directly to the choice of model. A rating based on customer reviews online can help.

The tables show the comparative characteristics of blenders from different segments (from the simplest to complete with additional nozzles). The top 3 models in each segment are located in increasing order of value.

The first table is the rating of simple units not equipped with additional nozzles.

The second table is the rating of more complex blenders with additional nozzles.

Whatever the reasons you are guided in choosing a kitchen assistant, the best submersible blender is one that is convenient for you and meets your basic requirements.
