How long does a cordless blender last?

It is impossible to imagine a modern kitchen without such a universal appliance as a blender. Small and compact, it combines the functions of a mixer, grater, and meat grinder. You can even crush nuts and ice with it. But there is no limit to perfection: manufacturers have proposed another innovation in the direction of increasing the ease of use of the blender - wireless modifications of the device.

Features of a cordless blender

The wireless device does not require a power cord. The device operates on a battery compactly housed in the housing. Lithium-ion batteries with 2-4 batteries are usually used. Each product comes with a charger, either wall-mounted or stationary.

Most often, manufacturers make immersion blenders cordless, since stationary ones require more power and quickly lose charge.

Typical equipment: device with built-in battery, set of attachments, bowl, charger.

How long does a charge last on average?

The main difference between wireless and conventional wired ones is the duration of the active working phase. Wired ones operate continuously from the mains. Wireless ones can only maintain activity within the limits of the charge received, after which they turn off.

On average, one battery charge is enough for 20-30 minutes of operation, that is, for preparing 10-15 servings. After this, recharging is required from 2 to 3 hours, depending on the model.

REFERENCE! You should not rely 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 based on ideal operating conditions. In everyday life, the period of the working phase is always shorter.

Manufacturers are trying to solve the problem of extending the active phase by equipping devices with several sets of batteries at once. In this case, after one set is completely discharged, it can be immediately replaced with another, putting the first one on recharge.

Power of a regular and cordless blender

Based on power, household blenders are divided into several types:

• low-power (up to 250 W); such devices are suitable only for preparing soft dishes - purees, cocktails, smoothies;
• medium power (from 250 to 600 W); the power is enough for chopping meat and vegetables, preparing minced meat and salads;
• powerful (from 600 W); Using this device you can grind nuts, ice, frozen fruits.

Cordless blenders are significantly inferior in power to wired ones, since power is directly proportional to the rate of charge consumption. But high-power models of cordless blenders can be found on sale. Such models are aimed at the fact that after charging the battery, a small amount of work with a high load is performed.

REFERENCE! In order for batteries to last as long as possible, they need to be recharged correctly.

You should not allow the device to completely discharge - at the time of recharging, it should still retain about 30% of the previously received charge. Recharging should be carried out to the maximum, which will be indicated by the device indicator.

Batteries require replacement approximately once a year. Some users get scared when they observe a decrease in the functionality of the blender and believe that the device has deteriorated. In fact, to restore the functionality of the device, it is enough to purchase new batteries.

Ease of use of a cordless blender

The main advantage, of course, is the absence of connection to an outlet. The device can be used in any corner of the kitchen, even directly above the stove. The absence of a cord itself, which allows you to rotate the device in any direction, is also a great convenience for many housewives. An excellent solution for young mothers is the opportunity to prepare baby puree while being close to the child in his room.

The device, powered by batteries, can be taken with you even to places where the power grid is unavailable. After waiting for a full charge, you can pack the blender and take it with you on a picnic or on a hike, surprising your friends with cocktails in the lap of nature.

This version of a household device is irreplaceable for summer residents, because it is not for nothing that a wireless device is unofficially nicknamed a summer cottage option.
