Why choose the Blender
An electric jug with spinning blades for blending pepper, tomatoes and onions for stews, smoothies and drinks. Models with a dry mill also grind spices.
- Blends pepper and stew base in seconds
- Dry mill attachment grinds spices
- Glass jugs resist stains and smells
- Pulse function for coarse textures
Why choose the Juice Extractor
A machine that separates fruit and vegetable juice from the pulp. Centrifugal juicers are fast; slow (masticating) juicers squeeze more juice.
- Fresh juice without pulp
- Wide chutes take whole fruits on some models
- Slow juicers keep more nutrients and foam less
