How many watts does a good blender need?

A blender is an excellent tool for chopping, mixing and pureeing quickly and effortlessly. But how many watts does a blender need? The answer is complex. You must consider different wattages, ingredients, and what you want to make from them. Here, you can find out how many watts a good blender needs to meet your requirements.

What does the wattage actually stand for?

The wattage of a blender indicates how much electrical power the appliance consumes to perform its functions. In general, the higher the wattage, the more powerful the blender and the harder the ingredients that can be chopped. A powerful blender can also produce an overall softer consistency and work with less liquid. The latter is particularly good for preparing smoothies or sauces, for example.

The optimum wattage for home use

How many watts a blender needs depends on what you want to blend with it. For average household use and the occasional preparation of smoothies, soups and sauces, a blender with a wattage of between 300 and 700 watts is sufficient. This is enough power to cope with most everyday tasks.

Blenders from 1000 watts: high-performance blenders for demanding tasks

You need blenders with more than 700 or even 1000 watts if you want to tackle the tough tasks. For example, if you're going to make nut butter, mix cereals, or blend various solid ingredients, the blender needs a certain amount of power. How about the ZWILLING ENFINIGY Power Blender, which can chop just about anything? In addition to the original ZWILLING Winglet blades, our blenders feature a powerful motor that gets the sharp blades spinning correctly.

Required mixer wattage by application:

• Smoothies and shakes: A blender requires only 300 to 500 watts to prepare such creamy drinks. Liquids, soft fruit, yogurts or seeds are also no problem with low power consumption.

• Soups and sauces: A blender with 400 to 600 watts is sufficient for pureeing soups or sauces. You can control the consistency better by switching it on and off occasionally or using a pulse function.

• If you want to chop ice or frozen fruit often, you'll need a blender with 600 to 800 watts.

• Grinding nut butter and flour: These demanding tasks require a high-performance blender with 1000 watts or more to achieve the desired results.
