However, not all blenders are efficient when it comes to crushing frozen fruit or ice. In this guide, we\u2019ll look at the best blenders for chopping ice and frozen fruit. <\/p>\n

Get the right kitchen appliance and you\u2019ll be blending up tasty smoothies much more efficiently.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Things to Consider Before Buying a Blender<\/h2>\n

Most of us stick to online shopping these days. There\u2019s no \u201ctry before you buy\u201d option. <\/p>\n

The next best thing?<\/p>\n

Knowing exactly what you\u2019re looking for! <\/p>\n

For instance, do you know the Difference Between a Blender and a Food Processor?<\/a> Read our insightful article before you decide which to buy.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

  1. Check the Power Rating: <\/h3>\n

The power output of an ice blender is a significant factor. The ability of a blender to work hard without the blades bending or wearing out is crucial. <\/p>\n

You don\u2019t want to spend additional money on motor repairs. Or stop blending to cool off the blades when the load wears them down.  <\/p>\n

Look for a model with at least<\/em> 500 watts. The higher the wattage, the more powerful the blender is. Also, the material of the blades gives out the power, but usually, manufacturers will not risk incorporating blades that cannot withstand the watts capacity. <\/p>\n

After all, you wouldn\u2019t want a helicopter with plastic blades!<\/p>\n

 If you get a weak blender, you\u2019ll wind up with half crushed ice or lumps of fruit \u2014 not fun. You could also end up with a damaged part. <\/p>\n

The best blender for frozen fruit smoothies<\/strong> should come with a powerful motor and durable blades. The creamiest <\/em>smoothies and perfectly-blended ice come from these blenders.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

  2. Type of Appliance: <\/h3>\n

There are different types of blenders that might suit your needs. They are the countertop, immersion, and personal blenders. Among the three, the countertop is the most powerful.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> We personally wouldn\u2019t use an immersion blender for frozen fruit smoothies. Their power ratings typically run too low. The cheapest immersion blenders only do about 100 watts.<\/p>\n

\n

  3. Design of the Blade and Other Materials: <\/h3>\n

Frozen fruits and ice cubes are hard. A weak blade would only struggle to rotate without crushing anything.<\/p>\n

If you want to get a blender that\u2019s up to the task, then you need to purchase one with unbreakable blades. If the machine blades claim to be unbreakable,  they should be unmalleable and last for quite some time.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

  4. The Power of the Ice Crushing Jar: <\/h3>\n

Getting an ice crushing blender with a weak jar will lead to broken jars for you more times than not. <\/p>\n

A motor powerful enough to break up frost and ice causes a lot of pressure on the jar. The frozen fruit rams the jar in random motions during the blend. Make sure to review the materials used in its construction.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You should ensure that you choose a durable ice crushing jar that is both resistant to impact and made with heavy co-polyester and polycarbonate that are BPA free.<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/h3>\n

  5. Cleaning: <\/h3>\n

Even worse than a weak blender? <\/p>\n

In our opinion, that\u2019d be one that is super hard to clean! Ensure that the jar is easy to clean, self-cleaning, or is safe to use with a dishwasher. If not, I recommend you keep searching for one that meets this criterion.<\/p>\n
