Drink Blenders

Drink blenders serve two primary purposes: to crush ice and then blend a great drink or smoothie. The more powerful the motor and better designed blades and jars, the creamier the drink profile with few or no ice chunks. Auto shut-off timers are perfect for busy bars and smoothie shops - set the time and the blender will shut off on its own so that employees can multitask.

Must-Have Features

  • Powerful motor to crush ice and blend quickly
  • Durable blades and motor drive coupling
  • Two speeds (at least) and pulse
  • Timer for efficient multitasking
  • Easy to clean and maintain

Clear vs. Solid Blender Jars

CLEAR: Made of polycarbonate. Popular for drink blenders. Easy to see contents and costs less than stainless. Prone to scratching and clouding over time depending on excessive exposure to cleaning chemicals and sanitizers.

SOLID: Made of stainless steel. Popular for food blenders. Preferred by chefs for its durability and performance under extreme temperatures - cold and hot. Higher-end jars can handle thick ingredients like hummus better than the clear alternative.
