Grinding bowl
The working volume of the grinding bowl, supplied with the device.
For more information about the bowl for grinding, see "Capacities". And the amount of product that can be grinded in the device in one load directly depends on its volume. At the same time, keep in mind that a larger bowl takes up more space, costs more, and also requires a more powerful engine. Therefore, manufacturers usually select this volume taking into account the overall level and performance of the device.
Power
The rated power of the device, in fact, is the power of the engine installed in it.
The higher this indicator, the more performant this model is, the more suitable for “heavy” work and the more applications can be provided in the design. For example, in the case of mixers (see “Appliance type”), a power of up to 250 W is considered good for liquid products; for more solid tasks, like kneading tough dough, you should pay attention to more powerful models. Detailed recommendations on optimal power can be found in special sources.
Note that powerful devices are usually equipped with more durable nozzles that can withstand high loads.
Number of speeds
The number of speeds of rotation of the nozzles provided in the mixer / blender.
The presence of several speeds allows you to adjust the operating mode of the device to a particular situation. For example, a liquid omelet can be whipped at high speed, but it is better to choose a slower mode for kneading dough. The more speeds provided in the device, the more versatile it is, the more accurately it can be configured for a specific task. In simple household models, from 3 to 6 settings are usually provided, in the most advanced devices their number can reach two dozen.
Smooth speed control
A control that allows you to
smoothly change the speed of rotation of the mixer nozzles - for more precise adjustment of the speed and setting the optimal mode for different products. With step speed control, a situation may arise when a higher speed value is already too high, and a lower speed is not yet enough. Stepless control avoids such situations.
One button control
Models of blenders, the control of which is reduced to
one button, and the speed of work depends on the force of pressing. This solution allows you to work with one hand and change the operating modes with the same hand, while the other can fill up the ingredients and not stop the process.
Weight
The weight in this section can be confusing, since manufacturers do not indicate the mass of the main working tools of the equipment. Accordingly, the greater the number of accessories in the kit, the greater the total weight and this parameter will be necessary only at the time of purchase in order to understand how many extra kilograms you will have to carry home.
