Blenders & Juicers

Blenders Create a Dynamic Cooking Experience

One of the most versatile tools in the kitchen, blenders are an excellent addition to any cook's equipment. Whether you're cooking a savory sauce or soup base or blending your favorite fruits for a smoothie, the best blenders effortlessly puree, whip and integrate your ingredients to simplify and streamline your cooking process. In the morning, grab your smoothie blender and drop in any combination of fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables. Easily create a berry avocado smoothie bowl by blending all the ingredients and adding your favorite toppings. For lunch or dinner, make an asparagus and leek soup by sauteeing the vegetables in a pot and moving them into a blender machine with liquid to puree. Browse models from top brands like our Vitamix blenders for high-quality and versatile appliances.

Best Blenders: Features to Consider

Consider various features when choosing a blender, such as a powerful motor, variable speed settings and pulse functions. Your personal blender should have durable blades and a sturdy base that is easy to clean. Think about the ways that you will use your blender. For single-serve smoothies that you can take on the go, a mini blender like one from Beast electrics allows you to use the blending vessel as your drinking glass while easily storing leftovers with additional lids. In addition, bullet blenders tend to have various-sized containers to accommodate your cooking needs, from personal servings to larger portions. Tight on cabinet space, but looking to blend larger quantities? Look for a smaller-scale appliance, such as a hand-held immersion blender that allows you to blend directly from the pot you are cooking in. No matter your culinary needs, taking these features into account will help you find a blender that aligns with your lifestyle.

Elevate Your Healthy Lifestyle with Juicers

Incorporate healthy habits into your daily routine with juicers. One of the easiest ways to incorporate more fruits and vegetables into your diet, juice machines and blenders allow you to create all sorts of flavor profiles while extracting tons of vitamins and minerals from ingredients. Combine any variety of your favorite in-season foods like apples, bananas, kiwis, celery, kale and more in your juice press for a unique creation catered to your tastes and dietary needs. Simply feed in your favorite fruits and veggies to be left with a convenient, healthful liquid, perfect for on-the-go drinking. To kick-start your morning, make a large batch of your favorite smoothie or juice in your electric juicer, and take a reusable bottle with you for the morning commute. Store the rest of your healthy drink in a drink pitcher or keep it cool in your favorite SMEG refrigerator to finish it off within the next couple of days. There's no easier way to get more nutrient-dense foods into your daily diet, and the benefits of juicing extend far beyond the glass. Be sure to consider models from top brands such as Breville blenders and juicers.

Understanding Different Types of Juicers

Explore the world of juicing with our thoughtfully curated selection of juicers, each catering to different preferences and needs. Delve into the unique characteristics of each type, and find the perfect juicer to suit your culinary aspirations.

Centrifugal Juicers: One of the most popular types of home juicers, centrifugal juicers, also known as fast juicers, utilize a fast-spinning blade that quickly chops fruits and vegetables, separating the juice from the pulp through the centrifugal force created. This type of juice extractor is perfect for busy mornings and produces a rapid yield of fresh juices.

Cold Press Juicers: For those who prioritize nutrient preservation, masticating juicers offer a slower, more deliberate approach. Since slow juicers employ a grinding or crushing motion to press juices from fruits and vegetables, there is less heat buildup and oxidation. Ideal for those who want to incorporate leafy greens and hearty fruits and vegetables into their juice, these cold press juicer machines better retain nutrients and result in a richer taste and thicker consistency.

Citrus Juicers: Designed specifically for drawing out the juices of various citrus fruits, these juicers come in various styles, including manual pressers and electric reamers. This type of juice maker is ideal for those who enjoy homemade refreshers like orange juice, grapefruit juice and lemonade.
