Blenders

A blender's motor power determines what it can handle — cheap blenders struggle with frozen fruit and nuts. Look for at least 1,000W for smoothies, 1,500W+ if you want to blend hot soups or nut butters.

Motor wattage is the single most important spec

Tamper tools are needed for thick blends — check if one is included
