A countertop blender gets used every day if it suits the way you cook. Before looking at the price, think about what you will make most often.
Power
Medium power is enough for fruit smoothies and soups. If you want to crush ice or nuts, look for a stronger motor and several speeds.
The jug
- Glass: it does not hold smells and copes with hot liquids.
- With a lid opening: add ingredients without stopping the motor.
- With measuring marks: fewer things to wash.
What about a hand blender?
For purées straight in the pot or a quick mayonnaise, a hand blender is handier. Many kitchens end up with both.
