How to choose the best hand blender? Keep reading and discover the key elements you must consider when buying one.

Material

At Mellerware you can choose from a wide variety of hand blenders, both plastic and metal. If you choose a plastic device, it is very important to ensure that it is made with a plastic suitable for direct contact with food.

You will also find devices whose design includes steel finishes or special coatings.

The best choice is to select a stainless steel blender. It is a more resistant and durable material. In addition, they are usually easier to clean. 

Power

Depending on the use you intend to give it, it is very important to choose a blender with adequate power. The hand blenders from Mellerware have a power of 1000 W that allows you to crush, blend, and mix food with total ease.  

If your goal is to use it occasionally, you can opt for a hand blender with a power lower than 400 W. But, if you plan to use it frequently and for different recipes, it is better to choose a model with a power greater than 800 W.

Speeds

The simplest models usually offer two speeds: standard and turbo. However, there are hand blenders, like the one from Mellerware, that have a wider range and allow you to adjust the blending speed when needed.

Weight

Being a handheld device, it is very important to pay attention to the weight. You should choose a blender that is lightweight, yet comfortable and safe. It will be easier for you to handle and will help you avoid accidents.

Cable Length

Although it may seem like a less important element, the length and type of the cable is one of the factors you should consider when comparing different models of blender. A short cable greatly limits movements  necessary for an effective blending of food. When choosing, prioritize those devices that have a long or spiral-shaped cord. In this way, you will be opting for a greater sense of security and autonomy.

Blades

The number of blades is another basic point to pay attention to when buying your blender. The simplest models usually have only two blades. However, it is best to choose a device that has four blades, because this ensures higher quality and faster blending. Its technology is based on the combination of simultaneous movement and cutting. Two of the blades will move the food while the other two cut it.

Ease of Cleaning

Make sure to choose a model of blender that is easy to clean. Currently, there are many models that are suitable for dishwasher use. Blenders tend to get quite dirty, especially around the blade area. Therefore, you should carefully consider all the possibilities offered by different models to facilitate cleaning.

Accessories

The availability of accessories is one of the key points when choosing hand blenders. In our online store, you will find several models that include various accessories that are easy to attach to the main body of the device. Among the most common accessories are cutters, choppers, whisks for beating egg whites or yolks, and blending cups.

These accessories provide added versatility to the devices because, in addition to blending food, you can do many more things with them. For example, cutting vegetables or grinding more solid foods like cookies or nuts.

Innovation

An interesting aspect to consider when choosing your blender is the innovations presented by each model. Generally, brands make continuous changes to the devices with the aim of improving the blending experience and expanding their functions.

The bell that protects the blade area is an element that has undergone many modifications. Brands in the sector continuously seek to create unique designs that set them apart from the rest. Their main objective is the commercialization of blenders with bells that minimize splashes and optimize the blending process.

Ergonomics

Being a device that is usually handled with one hand,  It is essential that you choose an ergonomic device, that makes its use easier for you. Opt for a blender with which you feel comfortable and that fits well in your hand.

Also, make sure it has the buttons in an easily accessible area, so you don't have problems when changing the speed during blending.

Availability of spare parts

Another important point to consider is the availability of spare parts in the market. In case any part breaks, you will need to easily have a replacement. It's worth keeping this detail in mind so you can be more at ease.

Our Spiro hand blender, is a very complete stainless steel model. It has 1000 W of power and stands out for being an ergonomic and lightweight model.

Among its main advantages is the anti-splash system, in addition to the ease it offers for cleaning. It is suitable for being placed in the dishwasher.

It features a speed regulator with LED lighting and a turbo function with which you can blend more consistent foods more quickly. It has 4 high-performance blades of great resistance and quality.
