Essential factors when choosing a blender
Before buying a blender, it is important to consider some factors that influence the appliance's performance and functionality:

A blender's power determines its ability to crush ingredients. See which option is best for your needs:
Less than 500W: Suitable for smoothies and light preparations.
Between 500W and 800W: Ideal for soups, sauces and blending fruit.
Above 800W: Perfect for crushing ice, frozen fruit and denser ingredients.
FLAMA blenders have different power levels to meet a variety of culinary needs.

Large capacity (over 1.5L): Suitable for large families or large quantities of food.
