It is impossible to imagine a modern kitchen without such a universal device as a blender. Small and compact, it combines the functions of a mixer, grater, meat grinder. With it, you can even chop nuts and ice. But there is no limit to perfection: manufacturers have proposed yet another innovation in the direction of increasing the usability of the blender - wireless modifications to the device.
Wireless Blender Features
The wireless blender does not require a power cord. The device operates on a battery compactly housed in a housing. Commonly used lithium-ion batteries for 2-4 batteries. Each blender comes with a charger, wall or stationary.
Most often, manufacturers make cordless submersible blenders, as stationary ones require more power and quickly lose their charge.
Typical equipment of a submersible blender: a device with a built-in battery, a set of nozzles, a bowl, a charger.
How much charge is enough on average?
The main difference between wireless blenders and conventional wire blenders in the duration of the active working phase. Wired blenders are powered by electricity continuously. Wireless ones can maintain activity only within the limits of the received charge, after which they are turned off.
On average, one charge of the battery of the blender is enough for 20-30 minutes of work, that is, to prepare 10-15 servings. After that, recharging is required from 2 to 3 hours of time, depending on the model.
REFERENCE! Do not focus on the time of the active phase of operation indicated in the instructions for the device after the battery is fully charged.
The manufacturer determines this time, focusing on ideal operating conditions. In everyday life, the period of the working phase is always shorter.
Manufacturers are trying to solve the problem of prolonging the active phase due to the configuration of devices with several sets of batteries at once. In this case, after one battery is completely discharged, it can be immediately replaced with another, putting the first one on recharge.
Power in a conventional and wireless blender
By power, household blenders are divided into several types:
- low power (up to 250 W); such devices are suitable only for preparing soft dishes - mashed potatoes, cocktails, smoothies;
- average power (from 250 to 600 W); enough power for chopping meat and vegetables, cooking minced meat and salads;
- powerful (from 600 W); with the help of this blender you can chop nuts, ice, frozen fruits.
Wireless blenders are significantly inferior in power to wired ones, since power is directly proportional to the rate of charge consumption. But high-powered models of wireless blenders can be found on sale. Such models are focused on the fact that after charging the battery, a small amount of work with a high load is performed.
REFERENCE! In order for the batteries to last as long as possible, you need to properly charge them.
Do not allow the device to be completely discharged - at the time of recharging, it should retain about 30% of the previously received charge. Recharging should be carried out to the maximum reported by the device indicator.
About once a year, batteries need to be replaced. Some users are frightened when they see a decrease in the functionality of the blender and believe that the device has deteriorated. In fact, to restore the operability of the device, it is enough to purchase new batteries.
The convenience of using a wireless blender
The main advantage of wireless models of blenders, of course, in the absence of binding to the outlet. The appliance can be used in any corner of the kitchen, even directly above the stove. In itself, the lack of a cord, allowing you to rotate the device in any direction, is also a great convenience for many housewives. For young mothers, an excellent solution is the opportunity to prepare baby puree while being next to the baby in his room.
The battery-powered device can even be taken with you to places where the power grid is not available. After waiting for a full charge, you can pack the blender and take it with you on a picnic or on a trip, surprising your friends with cocktails in the lap of nature.
This option is indispensable for a household device for summer residents, because it is not for nothing that the wireless blender is unofficially nicknamed the summer option.
