Everyone who likes to cook wants to have the cooking skills of a five-star chef, easily make a good table, easily concoct delicious sauces, and easily make recipe-like complementary foods for your baby...
But the reality is that the cooking skills are mediocre, a person makes multiple dishes on the hand, the chopped condiments are sparsely cut badly, and the eyes are still spicy crying, and the hot hands are still smelly...
In fact, you may only need a kitchen artifact - a powerful multi-function blender, which is a collection of garlic mashers, meat grinders, food supplements, grinders and other functions in one.
Just as the so-called "work wants to do good, must first use its tools", there are many kitchen utensils in the kitchen, but it can be called an artifact, I think only it, such a good kitchen tool to assist, then the cooking is not half the effort!
So there is a tangled question: how to choose a food blender?
To this end, I carefully screened the hottest and best used garlic mashers, meat grinders, food supplement machines, grinders on the shopping platform, and selected the above 7 models, which almost cover all popular categories and brands, which should be more representative selections!
At present, there are three main directions for the selection of such multi-functional cutting stranding machines on the market:
The first is the "wired blender", which is large in size, must be plugged in, has a large capacity, and has a large power, which will be more cumbersome to operate.
Advantages: large capacity, fine cutting, suitable for home use;
Disadvantages: large size, heavy, less function, wired is not suitable for carrying.
The representatives are Bear, Babycare.
The second is the "wireless blender", which is small in size, more wireless, relatively low in power, and more times to be more delicate.
Advantages: small size, easy to carry, outdoor can also be used;
Disadvantages: smaller capacity, fewer functions, lower power than wired.
The representatives are Mofei, Suber, Delma and Midea.
The third is the "multi-function wireless blender", small in size, wireless portable, it is not a single cutting function, it increases the grinding cup, but the power is relatively low compared to the wired.
Advantages: small size, many functions and complete, easy to carry, outdoor can also be used;
Disadvantages: smaller capacity, lower power than wired.
The representative is Roya.
Assessment items and scoring criteria
This time the comparative evaluation mainly through the basic parameters of several multi-functional blenders, portability, safety, cleanliness, ingredient measurement and other aspects, and combined with my actual testing experience, feelings, and finally selected 1-2 blenders with the best comprehensive performance.
First, the basic parameters
1. Appearance
Kitchen utensils, related to the power of cooking, evaluation is good or not, the appearance of color and configuration design is one, this is the so-called "face value", a good quality and easy to use kitchen utensils, in order to conquer every consumer, especially young consumers.
In terms of appearance alone, del Mar is the smallest in volume, and Cub and Babycare are very large in volume due to plug-in use.
In terms of design aesthetics, Mofei's three-set doll style and Roya's two-in-one design are eye-catching. Delmar has a small tool directly embedded in the design, which is also more practical.
2. Material
Material we should pay more attention to which aspect, of course, direct contact with the ingredients of the knife head and cup body is the most important, these 7 models of blenders at a glance their cup material is mainly divided into high borosilicate glass and food grade PCTG.
The knife heads are mainly 304 stainless steel, the difference is in the number of leaves on the blade and the curvature of the opening piece.
Except for Mofei and Bear for the two-leaf knife, Babycare is a four-leaf knife, and the other four are three-leaf knives.
That is to say, the biggest material difference is in the cup body, for high borosilicate glass, some people like its texture, but the glass is really heavy, for a pursuit of portability, a little unfriendly, important and particularly easy to break.
PcTG, in terms of portability, is indeed very advantageous, but not enough glass delicate and smooth.
Comparison results:
Second, convenience
For modern life, a product is not good to use, one of the important is its convenience, generally to consider the product, can not be portable, wireless, worry-free, labor-saving, which and the design of the product itself has a very large relationship.
In operation, the seven models are started by pressing a key, and the hand is closed, that is, as long as you want to twist, the operation is still very simple.
Single-cup configuration: Mofei, Suber, Delmar, Midea, Suber, Cub, Babycare.
Double-cup configuration: Roya. Functionally one more grind than a single cup, more subdivisions are better in function!
Of course, the difference in structure is not the main reason for the convenience, the most important thing is to look at its weight and volume, as well as the lock buckle.
1. Dimensional weight
The volume is generally proportional to the weight, at a glance it is obvious that del Mar 305g and Suber 338g look small, the third is Roya 406g, and it is indeed very light, whether it is in operation, or moving, or cleaning, they can be done easily.
Little bear, babycare reached 1301g and 936g respectively, which in the process of operation or moving, because there is no lock, must be hands can be, or the glass is fragile, it is simply a disaster, careful.
2. Capacity
Capacity is a very valuable reference amount, generally according to the needs of each person to choose the best, if the use of complementary food, a small child of course smaller capacity is better, a meal, a meal are fresh, not easy to waste, but still have to consider the production of dipping sauce, a person to use and family use, the situation is different, large capacity can effectively reduce the increase in operating costs.
The following is a list of the capacity of each blender, you can choose what you need:
Little bear 600ml is undoubtedly very large, if it is to make complementary food, it is not easy to control the amount, less and can not do, but in terms of grinding meat it can be twisted more capacity!
3. Locking
In the process of carrying or taking, whether there is a lock can be said to determine the convenience of taking, unfortunately, only Roya is a lock design, that is to say, you can take how you want, the cup body and the knife head will not fall.
And the other six, there is no lock design, if you hold the top, then its cup body and knife head will fall, will cause damage, even if placed in the bag, it is also separated, can not be fixed, will cause certain danger.
Third, safety
This type of blender, its knife tip is not fixed, and the blade is very long, very sharp, so the safety evaluation is not to be ignored!
In terms of design, the seven models have set safety protection, as long as the cup body and the main body are loose, they will automatically power off, the knife head will stop immediately, and it will not cut the possibility of twisting fingers.
But because in addition to Roya's other five models do not design a lock, adding a lot of safety risks, and they are still the main portable positioning, take the child out of the bag, its knife head fell out, in the bag to find things are easy to be cut.
In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to a little when cleaning.
Fourth, clean
For this type of machine, cleaning is a very critical choice.
Seven models, are disassembled, the knife head and cup body can be dismantled separately, so they can be flushed and clean,
And the details of the problem can best reflect the problem - there is no hidden cleaning dead end, according to actual observation, Mofei, Bear, babycare host position is concave, there is a cleaning dead angle, will lead to mold and stains.
Special bears and babycare are plugged in, their own power cord can not be removed, each time moving or cleaning is dragging a long wire, very troublesome, especially affecting the experience.
Fifth, the noise value
More than 85 decibels for the human body, there is a certain degree of discomfort, fortunately, the work is only a few tens of seconds of time. In this regard alone, The Bear and Roya, Mofei, and Suber performed well in this regard, the four models have reached less than 85 decibels, and what is more powerful is that the Bear is a plug-in model, the power is faster, the noise is very small, and the strength cannot be ignored!
Sixth, function and battery life
From the above we already know the functional configuration, Roya for the double knife double cup configuration, the other six for the single cup single knife, that is to say, in the case of almost the same power, Roya's function will be richer than the other six, that is to say, Roya in addition to the food supplement, meat grinder, garlic pounding machine, it also two in one of a grinder function.
Grind the peppers dry
Some people may say that it is not okay to grind the powder directly in the grinding cup, and it is very necessary to sharpen the knife head professionally?
Through the test, it is true that the professional grinding knife head and the twisting knife head, the gap is very large, the twisting can also be powdered, but it is not delicate at all, more like it is broken, and there is no grinding in place.
Grind coffee beans
How much does milling play in everyday life? One is that the baby can grind pork liver powder, shrimp skin powder, the other is that it can grind Chinese herbal medicines for female friends, brew tea and drink health, and the application is still very widespread, so the grinding function is not optional.
So how does the battery life perform, the data comes first.
Bear and babycare are plugged in, so I don't have to worry about their battery life.
But from a wireless point of view, Mofei's 2000mAh endurance is indeed much better than other models.
Roya and Delma are both 1500mAh, but the usage rate is better than Delmar, why?
We take it seriously for the reason: because Roya is two-in-one, one-button start, up and down two bits work together, while working can provide efficiency and reduce power consumption!
Of course, when it comes to battery life, we must mention that we must go out to carry, if the outdoor camping barbecue makes condiments, it will run out of power for a while, will it be very embarrassing.
Seventh, cut and twist the actual measurement comparison
Before the actual measurement, let's first understand the theoretical power speed of these seven blenders:
Combining theoretical speed and actual measurements, I generally select ingredients from soft to medium to hardest, and test all their functions around them, the same time, the same material, which one performs best?
First Round Test: Pumpkin Puree Supplement (this round is worth 15 points)
Pumpkin puree should be the most commonly eaten liquid food in the baby's complementary food, because it has been cooked, the pumpkin texture is not hard, and in general, the degree of completion is OK.
But the delicacy is out of the details, and in contrast, it cannot be found that Mofei and Roya, as well as the bear, are more delicate.
Delmar is so powerful that there is even a piece attached to the edge without cutting and twisting, and the delicacy can be imagined.
The beauty, suber, babycare fibers are still clearly visible, and there is room for improvement in fineness!
Second round test: Condiment cutting (this round is worth 15 points)
After careful consideration, the green peppers and, of course, the garlic heads were chosen, also because they were more practical, and the main test of this round was the particle size and uniformity of the condiments.
(1) Make minced garlic
I thought that this round would end up with the same effect as the complementary food, but I really didn't expect that the bears who performed well in the last round also lost.
Only Mofei and Roya's particles are relatively small, and they are very even, and the performance is convincing.
Looking at the other four models, it is obvious that the grain is too large, and it is obvious that the cutting is not enough.
(2) Make minced green peppers
In this level, Roya and Delmar's delicacy is better, and Mofei looks a little bigger than it is.
The conclusion of this round is that the larger the cup and the larger the knife spacing, the easier it is to cause excessive particles. So the relatively bulky bears and babycare are a bit miserable.
Third Round Test: Quick Grinding of Meat (This round is worth 15 points)
According to my initial assumptions, I thought that meat pieces were more difficult than vegetables, and it turned out that common sense was wrong, and grinding meat was the easiest link!
Therefore, the seven blenders are very delicate, and I will not elaborate on them.
Comparison results of the cut stranding measurement:
8. Summary and recommendation
This time the evaluation, don't look at the products are not big, but a wide variety, dishes, but also really spent a lot of effort, the results have come out, needless to say, I believe that everyone sees the words here, there are already a number in mind, overall, Roya is more top-notch, Mofei is next, the beauty is close behind! Combined with the actual test, or to make a simple recommendation for everyone!
If you are a person who is very fond of making food or a mother, I recommend Roya, wireless light, strong strength, important is the two-in-one function, more very good use of the grinding function, the first choice is not at all faulty.
Delmar comprehensive said very good, high value, very small, for portable is particularly convenient, but the price is slightly higher, it is recommended that the second preferred.
Suber and Mei also perform well and can be the third choice.
Mofei strength is strong, high value, three sets of baby cup design, the production classification is very good, the product texture is very strong, but I kind of mind it has no lock, the old will fall, the front-end display price of 219 yuan, three times the price of other products is indeed sighing, the comprehensive performance is not worthy of the price, not short of money recommended to buy, others choose carefully.
If you like to use at home, you can choose the plug-in model - bear, the capacity is larger, grinding meat dumplings, it will be more convenient, the power cord can not be removed, a little mind.
Be sure to avoid the pit to babycare, poor comprehensive performance, relatively high price, lower cost performance, careful selection.
