When selecting a blender, consider the jug capacity. For example, to make a 300ml smoothie for a family of four, you'll need a jug capacity of at least 1.2 litres. Because the finished smoothie takes up less space than the ingredients before blending.
When purchasing a blender, consider its motor power. It typically ranges from 500-2000 watts. Speed is measured in revolutions per minute (RPM) and ranges from 10,000-40,000 RPM.
To crush hard and large ingredients, for example, you'll need a powerful and fast motor, preferably with the power over 1000 W and 20,000 RPM.
Blenders come with different functions and features, and some of the most in-demand are:
ice crusher for smoothies and Friday night drinks
dishwasher-safe parts for easy cleaning
adjustable speed to suit different ingredients
pulse function for tougher ingredients.
