Buying a blender might seem like a no-brainer, but if you take it seriously, choosing a blender is pretty tricky. Today the market is full of different models of blenders from manufacturers from all over the world. But devices from Kenwood deserve special attention.

So, how to choose a blender? Once face to face with the device, you need to pay attention to the following parameters:

• type;
• power;
• material;
• volume;
• nozzles.

Types of blenders

Kenwood produces 4 types of shredder.

Stationary (shaker)

Kenwood blenders of this type are a base with a motor, on top of which a jug with knives is installed. When activated, the blades grind the food in the flask in seconds.

The blender is mainly used for smoothies, mousses, purees, sauces and other liquid or creamy dishes. It can't beuse for grinding hard foods.

Chopper Blender

Such a device, as a rule, has a small plastic bowl or container made of glass, on top of which a handle with moving mounts and a motor is installed. Kenwood blenders with a chopper can easily handle meat or vegetables of various densities.

Submersible

The blender package consists of an oblong device with knives at the base, as well as a high flask. At the same time, you can grind products in any suitable and convenient container. Immersion blenders "Kenwood" are designed for pureeing and grinding products of a soft consistency. With this device, you can easily prepare pate, mashed fruits or vegetables, as well as whip mayonnaise. Not suitable for grinding hard foods.

Many models of Kenwood blenders have various optional attachments for submersible appliances.

Mini harvester

This Kenwood blender is essentially a submersible model, but with additional nozzles and stationary bowls. Using the mini food processor, you can get a perfect machine for grinding, pureeing, kneading and blending, whipping and cooking various dishes.

Power

Blenders, like other electronic devices, come in a variety of capacities. So, the higher this indicator, the faster and better the device works. For example, for a stationary device, it will be sufficientpower in the range up to 200 W, but a device with a large number of nozzles, a mini-combine, must have indicators of at least 600 W, and in some cases more than 1000 W. Detailed data contains the instruction of the Kenwood blender of each specific model.

Material

Only the best materials are used in the production of blenders. So, the body of the device can be made of plastic or metal, bowls or flasks can be made of glass or food-grade plastic, and stainless steel is used in the production of knives and cutting parts.

The cost of each model depends on the material. Kenwood blenders made of plastic are cheaper than appliances that have metal in their construction. Glass bowls are much more expensive than plastic ones, as are hardened steel knives. But inexpensive materials still have their advantages. So, plastic bowls do not break when suddenly dropped, and it is easier to care for a device made of plastic than a metal one.

Volume

Almost every Kenwood blender has a bowl or flask for grinding food. Reviews of hostesses who already use the device contain recommendations for choosing the volume of the container. So, it is necessary to take into account the amount of future work performed with the blender. If the device will be used to prepare baby food, then the size of the flasks may be insignificant - up to 1 liter. But if the hostess will use the device for preparing meals for the whole family, then it is better to opt for models with a bowl capacity of 1,5–2 liters.

Nozzles

Blenders that modern housewives use are equipped with various attachments. And the more such additional accessories, the more functional and more expensive the device for grinding is. Before buying a blender, you should decide whether all these configurations are needed, and if so, which ones specifically.

So a blender can contain:

1. Chopper. This is a bowl with a knife of two blades at the base. Used for minced meat, pates and finely chopped food.
2. Whisk. Beater for whipping egg whites, cream and other semi-liquid and liquid products.
3. Dough mixer. Used for kneading dough of different density.
4. Citrus press. Used to squeeze citrus juice.
5. Pureing attachment.
6. Slicers, graters of various diameters.
7. Knives for crushing ice.

In the event of a breakdown, do-it-yourself repair of the Kenwood blender is not worth it. For this, there are official representative offices and service centers where experienced craftsmen can repair and breathe a second life into your device. If the warranty for servicing the device has not expired, then opening the device will void all warranty obligations.
