You can find all the blenders and extractors in our store in the Extractors and glass blenders section.

Sometimes, they ask us about what to look for to choose well. I think it is important to note that all the glass blenders that we have in the store are capable of crushing ice, and have a Pulse function, which works so well when you blend ice or nuts, and allows you to achieve a finer texture in a very short time. time. From here, I would advise you to look at the size of the glass you are interested in, whether it has extras or not (some come with glasses to take the juice with you) and the design.
