Things to Look for While Buying a Mixer Grinder

1. Mixer Grinder Types

Mixer grinders are a must have kitchen appliance in every household. They help you to save your precious time and effort for food preparations. From pureeing, grinding, chopping and grating, a mixer grinder is a solution for many tasks. As they reduce all manual and tiresome work, you can cook the dishes in less time and more deliciously.

So, it’s important to consider few things before making a purchase like – types of mixers, number of jars, power, motor speed, adjustable control knobs, and the safety features over load protection, lock system. Let’s discuss each feature in detail now!

2. Number and Size of Jars

The number of jars depends on your requirements. If you have a large or joint family, then a heavy duty motor mixer grinder with more 3 – 4 jars will be sufficient enough. More number of jars means you can complete the tasks within less time. If you are a small family, then a normal mixer grinder with 2 jars (for dry and wet grinding) should be enough.

Wet grinding jars come with tight lids to ensure the liquid or paste doesn’t get out of it while the grinding is in process. You can even grind coconuts for making chutneys. Usually, the dry grinding jars are much smaller than the wet grinding jars. You can use it for grinding spices and grains into a fine powder.

Most of the mixer grinders present in the Indian market comes with three jars – larger one for juices or grinding batter, medium one for other wet grinding tasks and a small one for chutneys and grinding dry ingredients. These jars should be sufficient for small and medium sized families.

3. Motor Speed

It’s always good to choose a mixer grinder that comes in different speed settings to offer the best cooking experience. They operate efficiently at different motor speed settings to control the blade. And the blade speed control mechanism ensures that the food items kept in mixer grinder do not overflow when it reaches the maximum speed.

Usually, the speed of motor is measured in RMP (Revolutions per Minute) which is the number of times a mixer blade rotates per minute. Most of the mixer grinders come with a motor speed ranging from 10,000 to 23,000RPM. While operating the appliance, do not run it on high speed for a long time. For most of the tasks, medium speed or speed up to 15,000 RPM is sufficient enough.

Finally, a powerful motor lets the blades operate at more rotations per minute which enables to grind the ingredients within a less period of time.

4. Power

The regular mixer grinder consumes 500-watts motor power which is good enough for grinding spices, nuts, chilies, ginger, garlic, etc. But the higher the wattage, the heavier the load it can handle. But, the modern mixer grinders utilize 750-watts of power for preparing Dosa, Idly and other food items.

Anything above 600 Watts can be a bit noisy. And moreover, you must look at mixer grinders that are highly energy efficient and saves your electricity bills. For Indian kitchens, mixer grinder with 500Watts power is sufficient enough. However, if you have a large family, then purchase a mixer grinder with 750Watts.
