Cheap Hand Blenders- What Features To Look For In a Quality Blender
Here are a few features to take a look at when considering which hand blender is best for you. You may want to skimp on price, but maybe there are some features you simply must have, like additional chopping accessories, or whisk attachments.
1) Attachements- Are there attachments that come with it? Some typical inclusions for some models are whisk tip, chopper, large chopper and beaker.
2) Watts of Motor/Power- How many watts does the model have? Generally speaking, the less watts, the less power the device has. When shopping for cheaper alternatives, make sure it’s not so weak the blender burns out quickly.
3) Cord or Cordless- Many people don’t realize they absolutely need a cordless hand blender until they plug it in. Most power cords are around 5 feet long. If you need more reach than this, then keep in mind you may need a cordless rechargeable version.
