The ContendersOn the basis of customer and retailer reviews and the parameters mentioned above, we picked the following brands and models.1. ![]() Attachments/Accessories – Some of the brands had only basic blenders with no attachments while other brands delivered a chopper, whisker and more within the same range. The ideal blade however needs to be big, thick and sturdy and not light and elegant.6. Blade - The blade is made of stainless steel but it could be either a regular one or a tri-blade. It could be tough to press and even tougher to hold at times.5. Power button - On reading customer reviews on online forums, I found that the power button on the blender was a constant pain point. But in some cases where the shafts were longer, they could be immersed in a deeper dish which was great, especially when you’re cooking in larger quantities.4. The steel ones could be put in a hot pan or boiling soup without fearing that it would melt but the plastic ones don’t provide that option. ![]() Body/Materials Used - Some of the blenders have a steel shaft whereas some have a plastic one. But for the purpose of classification, we’ve included models that have a bare minimum 300 Watts motor.3. But when we tested the products we didn’t find much difference in the performance of the blenders, at least none that could account for the difference in wattage. So common sense suggests that the higher the wattage, the stronger or more efficient the product. Wattage – Wattage is an indicator of how powerful the motor of the product will be. So that was an important criteria for us before we could shortlist the blender.2. Weight – How heavy is the blender? For soups and purees, or for times when you’re using a chopper, a heavy blender can be a real put off. ParametersSo how exactly can you assess a good blender? After speaking with retailers and doing our share of due diligence, we listed down the parameters that a good hand blender must be tested on.1. Then it can just escalate to products as expensive as Rs.10,000 but those are usually recommended for professional chefs or for those who work in restaurants.( Kitchen Appliance Review: Our Pick for The Best Single-Door Budget Refrigerator) The kind of blender we’ve decided to review is the kind that ranges from Rs.1500 to around Rs.4500, is more than 300 Watts, comes with a beaker and chopper, and can help you blend, mix and chop. ![]() ![]() The next lot includes better quality blenders, which could have a stainless steel shaft or a plastic one, but is of higher wattage and comes with a few accessories. If you’re looking for just that then Usha, Orpat, Insala and Oster are some good bands to consider. It usually has a stainless steel shaft and a plastic upper body, where the two can be detached and cleaned easily. The basic model is just a stick blender with low wattage, no accessories and is used purely for mixing. ( Kitchen Appliance Review: The Best Refrigerator In India)Hand blenders can be fairly difficult to buy, as they range from Rs.650 to Rs.6500 and 200 Watts to 800 Watts, and a lot of brands offer multiple models with little or almost no visible difference it’s a tough choice that can send anyone running out of the door. ![]()
