Looking for a blender to expand your menu, or to replace a
worn out unit? Prices vary greatly for a residential versus commercial blender.
The reason the price point of a residential blender is lower, it’s designed for
casual usage. If your business needs a tough unit, capable of handling the
rigors of consistent daily use, a commercial model designed for the food
industry should be the only consideration to protect your investment. Hamilton
Beach Commercial provides the following info to better explain.
What happens when a residential model is used in the
commercial arena?
- It simply cannot keep up with the demands of your business
needs. - Customers are disappointment with the consistency of blended
products. - Due to the lack of safety features, they pose potential
safety issues. - Residential models may fail to meet insurance and health
code requirements. - And it will not carry the same grade warranty as a
commercial model will. - In the long run, the unit will need repairing or replacing
over and over again.
With a commercial blender your business gets:
A unit designed for durability and high output.
They are more
powerful, working quickly and producing consistent results; are very capable of
holding a larger volume of product. And, most important, built to be used
throughout the day. A residential model is meant to be used once or twice a
day. A commercial blender is typically used 50 to 100 times in a day.
A blender built with more safety features, and with health
codes in mind.
Features include the ability to withstand water penetration,
resulting in extended life and increased safety. Motor cooling, proper venting
and fans prevent motor overheating.
Blades, control options, control panels, and jar shape are
designed with ingredients top-of-mind.
A commercial beverage blender is designed for drink service,
often found in front of house. Think frozen drinks, milkshakes and smoothies.
Or perhaps your needs are for a commercial food blender to handle tougher food
like whole vegetables, legumes and root vegetables. Think hummus, gravies and
ravioli fillings.
Plus:
- Many models are programmable, so no matter which staff
member is prepping your product, they will achieve the same results. - Steel clutch drive vs. plastic in residential; it’s what
gets power to the blending jar- steel will last longer. - Thorough cleaning is a breeze; the commercial blender is
designed to be disassembled and reassembled. This is a very important thing for
a foodservice operation to keep top of mind.
