Buying guide: these blenders make the best smoothies

Blenders are probably the most practical small kitchen appliances. They grind, mix and puree fruit, vegetables and much more in just a few seconds. In this overview, I've divided blenders into several categories, so that you can find your new favourite appliance.
Speed, fill opening and cleaning
Aside from that, they save a lot of time in the kitchen. There are plenty of models to choose from. Find the one that best suits your daily routine. The first question you need to ask yourself is what exactly you want to do. Do you mainly want to make smoothies? Or does the appliance need to be powerful enough to crush ice cubes for cocktails or sorbets?
Everyday smoothies
A blender turns fresh vegetables, herbs and fruit into a creamy smoothie very quickly. Here, appliances are distinguished primarily by their size and power. There are blenders that blend directly into a gourd. Perfect for anyone who wants to drink their smoothie on the way to work. But these models are generally only suitable for one person.
Versatile blenders
As well as smoothies, blenders can also make cocktails, dressings, sauces, waffle batter, sorbet, crushed ice and even peanut butter. If you want a machine that can do all this, you need a very powerful model. As well as a powerful motor, top-quality blades are a must. These versatile appliances may be noisy, but they blend ingredients perfectly.
Among the all-rounders, the top-of-the-range models are more likely to be in the higher price segment, but they really do meet all expectations. They even have a special soup programme that purees ingredients and reheats them at the same time. This function is very handy, especially if you're short on time.
Most of the time I'm living between bits and bytes, testing alternative Android operating systems and trying to make my life smarter with Open Source technology - always with a focus on privacy and data protection. When I'm not testing cool gadgets, I'm developing video games, writing stories and playing the accordion.
