Finding the Best Smoothie Maker - a Brief Discussion

There are a variety of smoothie makers on the market, but which is the best smoothie maker?

Most of all, what makes a smoothie maker good?

Although some people prefer using traditional blenders to make their smoothies, many people are turning to smoothie makers which are designed to produce the best smoothies possible.

In the past, the problem with using a blender is that there tended to be a "dead zone" in the center of the blender that sometimes made blending difficult. People often found that they needed to use a spoon or other device to stir the contents in order to get them out of the dead zone so that they could be properly mixed. This took more time than some people were willing to spend. Good smoothie makers have tried to eliminate this problem.

The Blendtech Home smoothie maker has continuously gotten rave reviews and the status as the "best smoothie maker". So what makes it good?

It has a 64 ounce square blending jar, recipes, a secure fitting lid, and 2-prong stainless steel blades that spin up to 29,000 rpm. It can also crush ice. Because the blades are so strong, they are able to blend items that some other blenders and smoothie makers have trouble with, such as avocado pits.

Could this indeed be the best smoothie maker?

The Hamilton Beach Bar Blender is another popular smoothie maker. One of the best things about this smoothie maker is that it is able to crush up ice and fruit without leaving chunks of the fruit or small bits of ice in the blend in the process. With other blenders, it is often hard to crush ice into bits that are small enough to be manageable. It needs only a small amount of maintenance and is easy to clean.

In this "best smoothie maker" discussion, we next move on to the Back to Basics 2 in 1 Blender Solution 5000 with Smoothie Server, which is an inexpensive option that offers good results.

Aside from being able to chop and blend, it also includes an attached smoothie maker as well. Even though smoothies are fairly thick and some smoothie makers have difficulty in pouring the mixtures out of their spouts, this one seems to work well and doesn't clog the spout at all. It is also able to chop ice and other large items finely without completely liquefying them.

The KitchenAid Pro Line Bar Blender, while not totally a smoothie maker, also does a good job at making smoothies, as well as blending pureed soups, mixing frozen drinks, and producing chunky salsas.

In your search for your ideal or best smoothie maker, you really want something that is simple to use and easy to clean. Some smoothie makers work in such a way that you add the ingredients all together, like you would in a blender, and then mix them. When you're finished, they have spouts through which you can easily pour the smoothie into your awaiting cup.

However, other smoothie makers require that you add concentrates, a different amount of water depending on the smoothie, or that you add the ingredients one at a time in order to get the right smoothie mix. This might take too much time for some people.

Other smoothie makers are very difficult to clean when it comes to their blades, and this can make using the smoothie maker inconvenient. Price does not always reflect the ease of cleaning and, in some cases, the more complicated the smoothie maker is and the more bells and whistles that it has, the more difficult it can be to clean. For that reason, it is important to read a variety of reviews before settling on the one that you think is the best smoothie maker for you.

At the end of the day, it's not so much about which are the best smoothie makers, but rather about which is the one which best suits your needs and preferences.
