Types of BlendersThere are basically two types of blenders - the jug/jar counter blender which is the most common and the stick model which is also called a hand or immersion blender. Your first buying decision will be to decide which function better meets your needs. That being said, many households have both types of blenders. If you choose a jug blender, you'll then need to decide on size amongst other features. And though there are similarities, blenders are not food processors, unless they are designed to handle this additional function.Difference Between Blenders and Food ProcessorsBefore You Buy a BlenderCounter or Stand Blenders:They are the most common style of blenders, have a stand-alone design with a jug/jar to blend the foods in. This type of blender comes in either a compact personal size for small batches or single servings, or in the more common 48 oz capacity, though you can find some in-between sizes. Some common uses include blending pancake batter, sauces, puddings, dressings, smoothies, frozen drinks.Pros: More functional; best for crushing ice (with proper blade) or making smoothiesCons: Awkward for blending hot foods or a much larger capacity; usually more expensive than stick blenders
