Blenders
Full-size and personal blenders compared on motor power, jar size and price.
Motor power decides what a blender can handle. Under 1000 watts is fine for smoothies with soft fruit, while frozen fruit, nut butters and hot soups want more. Personal cup blenders trade capacity for convenience since the cup is the jar. Check the cost of replacement blades and cups before choosing.
