Best Prime Day blender deals you can still shop
Should you buy a new blender in the last-minute Prime Day sales?
Prime Day is a pretty great time to buy new stuff, but it’s not the only time to score a good deal on a new blender. Prime Day tends to offer plenty of great discounts on a lot of kitchen equipment so you should be confident of good prices, but during and after the sale it’s still worth keeping an eye out in case a discount is merely incremental.
Of course, none of this matters if you can’t afford a new blender, so make sure you know what your budget is and that you stick to it. Also, do you actually need a new blender? Think about it carefully and figure out for yourself if you’re just being tempted by the prospect of something new and exciting but ultimately not actually needed.
Prime Day is a pretty good time to snag bargains because it’s a little more exclusive than the likes of Black Friday or Cyber Monday. That’s because only Prime members can get in on the Prime Day deals, meaning the competition for inventory is a little less than with other sales. Blender deals still available also tend to include much better than average pricing.
Buying now also means you get the benefit of enjoying your new product right now rather than having to wait until the holidays to reap the benefit. This could be pretty useful if your existing blender has just died. You also won’t have to worry about setting aside any of your holiday budget for kitchen equipment — something that could be an issue if finances are tight.
How to choose a blender after Prime Day
Your first port of call should definitely be to check out our look at the best blenders out there right now. A good blender is a world apart from a mediocre one so it’s important you buy the right one for you. That doesn’t necessarily mean spending a fortune but it’s important to do your research. It might also be a smart move to understand the differences between blenders and food processors too so you know what you’re getting into.
Like with any purchase, think about your budget at this stage. What can you afford? Prime Day blender sales, even after the event, mean you should be able to get more for your money but it’s still important that you don’t overspend.
Once you’ve gotten this far, there are some key things to consider about blenders. What type of blender do you want? Are you looking for an immersion blender (a stick-like device), a cup-capacity quick blender/chopper, a smoothie blender, an all-purpose utility blender for family cooking, or a commercial model that makes quick work of blending, cutting, mixing, or even pulverizing the thickest, toughest ingredients for hours? Each is available for a very different price and there’s no point in spending a lot on a commercial model if you would have been fine with a simple immersion blender instead.
It might be tempting to buy the most powerful blender out there but high wattage is not vital if you only plan on using it occasionally. Often, it’ll only save you a little time or the need to cut up items beforehand and that might not be a big problem for you if you don’t use it often. A commercial-grade blender is overkill for whipping up a single-serve smoothie, for instance, but it all ultimately comes down to how often you plan on using it.
Similarly, consider what size you require. If you’ll be using your blender for various tasks involving widely different volumes of ingredients, choose a container just a bit larger than needed for your average use. Whether you’re blending for just you or the whole family can make a big difference to the capacity you require. Just note that a larger than normal full-size blender can require a disproportionate amount of counter and storage space so if you have limited space at home, this may become an issue for you.
Features-wise, many blenders have different speeds and functions, with some of them also being programmable. Again, moderation is a good idea. If you tend to stick to the same recipes most of the time, a blender with more than three or four functions and six or more speeds is likely overkill. However, if you love to experiment, it might be a good idea to buy one with multiple features so you can try something differently regularly.
It’s a boring thought but you’re going to need to clean your blender regularly and some of them can be fiddly and awkward to tidy up. Read customer reviews to see how easy it is to clean a blender that catches your eye. Dishwasher-safe components are common, but sometimes disassembly is difficult. If a model is particularly problematic with regards to cleaning, it’s something you’ll likely see often among user reviews. Odds are if it’s difficult to clean, you’ll find yourself using it less often because you simply don’t want to have to spend a long time tidying up afterward. It won’t matter how great the features are if you never use them.
Finally, be sure you’re confident that this is the blender for you before you dive into a purchase. The best blenders will be used regularly but only if you picked the right one for you.
