Blenders
Drink blenders have long been associated with margheritas and daiquiris. As drink menus have
evolved so have the commercial blender category. Many blender manufacturers offer both residential
or home models as well as commercial models and this can be confusing especially from the same
manufacturer. Commercial units have higher horsepower motors and stronger blades along with more
robust materials in general and programming options for different drink items on your menu. It’s also
important to note that residential blenders are not covered under warranty in a commercial application.
In addition, many commercial manufacturers offer a quiet enclosure to reduce the noise in the bar
and front of house to avoid the loud blending noise and disruption in the dining room. These can be
purchased either with the unit at the time of purchase or can be purchased separately after depending
on the model.

Key Considerations when it comes to Blenders:
Containers: Blenders often come in a variety of container sizes from 36 oz to 64
oz capacity. Ensure you have the correct size of container to avoid overfilling your
jar and putting more strain on the motor or damaging blades/internal components.
Motors: Commercial blenders have a wide variety of HP motor from ½ HP to 3 ½ HP motors
including in 1, 2 or variable speed motors for extreme flexibility in making your beverages.
Controls: From a simple toggle on/off switch to an electronic touchpad, the controls you
want and need are available from a number of manufacturers. As you go up the levels in
the blender category, programmability is a feature that becomes more readily available.
Materials: Many manufacturers have choices available in containers from glass to
polycarbonate, to BPA-Free copolyester to stainless steel containers.
