Check out the CONTAINER CONSTRUCTION AND STYLE. Containers are made of either heavy-duty plastic or glass. Glass will be more scratch and stain resistant than plastic, while polycarbonate containers are shatter resistant. A wide base allows for more thorough and consistent blending of ingredients. Look for tight fitting lids to prevent leakage.
MOTOR SIZE is determined by wattage. The higher the wattage, the higher the power. This is important for heavy use, such as continuous ice crushing.
The number of SPEEDS available on a blender can range from approximately 2 to 14. Some blenders have a special ice crushing feature. A blender primarily used for tasks such as ice crushing and drink mixing requires a minimum number of settings, while blenders with five or more speeds are useful for more versatile kitchen tasks such as pureeing and liquefying.
BLADES made out of stainless steel will be more durable than those made of aluminum, and will stand up better to heavy duty tasks, such as ice crushing and frequent blending. They will also be resistant to staining and pitting.
A PULSE setting gives you greater control and flexibility when using the blender, helping reduce the risk of over-blending.
Finally, a CLEAN TOUCH CONTROL PAD is a smooth touch pad that prevents food and particles from getting stuck around the buttons, making clean up much easier.
