Rival Blender Review

Rival are renowned for more than just blenders with their crackpots, griddles and other useful kitchen products all on the market. Rival blenders are great addition to their existing lines and are a collection of blenders all designed to make life easier in the kitchen.

They come in different motor sizes and speeds but with one thing in common: to help and make life easier in the kitchen.

Rival even make stick blenders which, in keeping with tradition are low priced and get the job done. The Rival IB954W Ultrablend seems to be the most popular hand blender

A low price tag also accompanies the countertop type of blenders but that doesn't mean they will fall apart at the first use or look cheap and nasty. In fact some of the blenders on offer from Rival will do things some of the more expensive blenders can't do, like crush nuts and ice.

Features

Different motors come with different blenders, with the DC-TB170 and BL-706 models having a 350 watt motor while the BL300 blender has a smaller motor at 300 watts. If one requires a larger motor then BL400 KS model will do nicely with a 400 watt engine.

Speed is the key and all blenders from Rival have different speed settings plus pulse.

Stainless steel serrated blades are the order of the day and these will chop, grind, mix and blend your ingredients to the perfect consistency. Removable parts on these models are dishwasher safe.

Advantages

One of the biggest advantages with the Rival brand of blenders is the price. Now everyone can have a blender in their kitchen and start to enjoy those smoothies, soups and other delights.

The pitchers are 48 ounces and big enough for one to enjoy those delicious culinary delights and drinks. The pitcher cap doubles as a measuring cup, too.

The different speeds will cater for different ingredients like garlic and onions, carrots, cabbage and lots of other vegetables. Chopping nuts can be a problem with some blenders but the Rival range will do the job. Baby food can be made in minutes with the Rival blenders too.

Disadvantages

Chopping ice is a problem with some of the blenders. No other discernable disadvantages could be found by this reviewer.
