(Glass carafes tend be reserved for bar blenders.) Most high speed blenders are made from Tritan, a BPA-free plastic designed to withstand high speed and power. Carafe Material: You'll be hard-pressed to find glass carafes on high speed blenders for safety reasons - the force of the blending could shatter the glass.The ability to quickly take your blender on-the-go is also something to think about. For example, you’ll want to consider whether or not you plan on blender hot liquids, juice produce or blend nut butters when selecting your blender.

There are the more obvious distinctions such as a personal smoothie blender versus a large-capacity blender, but others are more nuanced.

Function: Blenders come in many different forms depending on what they’re meant to be used for.

And, if you do want your blender to live on your counter, it’s important to ensure there is enough space under your cabinets. Afterall, this encompasses your storage needs (if you’re low on counterspace, a smaller, more lightweight version is for you) and function needs (are you looking for a daily smoothie maker or something for family sized soups?).

Capacity: The size of your blender and your blender’s carafe might be one of the more important factors you consider when selecting a blender.
