A stand blender is a versatile kitchen assistant, but choosing the right model can be a challenge. The choice between plastic and glass jars, in particular, is a common concern. A glass jar blender offers clear advantages in terms of hygiene, durability, and taste neutrality. Glass doesn't stain, absorb odours, and is free from chemicals like BPA.
This article serves as a guide. We'll outline objective criteria for your selection and present a range of models that are well-suited for various applications due to their specific features and functions.
To make an informed decision, you should consider several technical specifications and functional aspects.
The motor power, measured in watts, is a crucial factor for a blender's performance. For everyday tasks like making smoothies from soft fruit, moderate power is often sufficient. However, if you plan to regularly process hard ingredients like ice cubes, frozen fruit, or nuts, you should consider a model with higher power. A 1000W blender or more generally provides enough strength to reliably handle demanding tasks and achieve a fine, smooth consistency.
Modern stand blenders are often multi-function blenders that can do more than just purée. Important features to look out for include:
In addition to functionality, material and aesthetics also play a role. A glass jar is robust and easy to clean. Many models are dishwasher-safe, which significantly simplifies cleanup. For design-conscious users, there is also a wide variety of styles, from a modern look to a retro-style blender that adds a nostalgic touch to the kitchen. Pay attention to the appliance's stable base and the intuitive layout of the controls.
Here is a selection of models that stand out for their specific features.

Yes, this is possible, provided the glass jar is heat-resistant. Models with jars made of borosilicate glass or special ThermoResist glass, like the Kenwood KAH359GL attachment, are designed for processing hot liquids. For standard glass jars, it is recommended to let the liquid cool down slightly before blending to avoid thermal shock and potential cracking of the glass. Always consult the manufacturer's instructions for this.
The required wattage depends on the intended use. For simple smoothies and shakes, 500-700 watts may be sufficient. For more demanding tasks such as crushing ice, grinding nuts, or processing fibrous vegetables, a power output of 1000 watts or more is recommended to ensure a fine consistency and a long motor life.
Glass and plastic each have their specific pros and cons. Glass jars are hygienic as they do not absorb odours or stains, are taste-neutral, and are often dishwasher-safe. They are considered durable and are free of BPA. Their disadvantage is their heavier weight and risk of breakage. Plastic jars are lighter and more shatterproof but can discolour and absorb odours over time. The choice depends on your personal priorities regarding weight, durability, and hygiene.
