Frequently Asked Questions About Blenders & Drink Mixers

How Do You Choose the Right Blender?

When choosing the right commercial blender for your application, be sure to consider the type of blender container, or cup, you need. Glass, stainless steel and plastic each have their own advantages and setbacks. Glass blender containers look clean and smart behind the bar, but since they are made of glass, they are more at risk for accidental chipping or breakage. Stainless steel is an ideal container because of its food-safe and rust-resistant properties. Some users prefer to actually be able to see into the container as the beverage is blending, however, and this is impossible with a metal container. Plastic is often the best bet, suitable for several different applications. High-durability polycarbonate helps make these blender cups extremely robust even when thrown into compartment sinks or accidentally dropped. Plastic will allow the user to see inside to make sure everything is blending correctly, and they are clear and clean looking, although they may stain over time depending on the ingredients being blended.

Other variables to consider how many speeds you need and the settings available. If you are making a variety of different drinks, you may want a variety of options. If you only plan to make one style product, a simple one may be your best choice. Another variable is how large the blender is. Determine how much product you plan to serve daily to decide how large of a blender you need.

What Are the Differences Between Bar Blenders, Food Blenders, and Drink Mixers?

Bar blenders are what most people think of when they hear “blender”. These use spinning blades for blending liquids as well as ice in drinks. They are able to mix some soft fruits, but for the most part they are used for simple beverage blending. Food blenders are similar to bar blenders, but stronger. These typically have a stainless steel container and heavier duty blades for chopping and cutting foods for smoothies, salsas, and more. They are the middle ground between a bar blender and a food processor. Drink mixers are very different from blenders. These machines use agitators to mix up and evenly add mix’ns like nuts and candies to shakes and malts.
