A Look Into The Origin of the Blenders

Lately I’ve been eyeing several brands and models of blenders in department stores. Our beloved blender has finally upped and died a few months back. We opted to not get a replacement right after it broke down as we didn’t see an immediate need. But now that summer is coming and all sorts of tropical fruits are going to be in season, I thought it would be a good time to shop for a new blender for the family.

It’s interesting to see how blenders now vary in usability and design. Of course, the most basic function is to blend your food. Others act as food processor, which is suitable for those who do baking and pastries. But the curious cat that I am, I began to wonder how or when the electric blender was invented. So I did a bit of research and here’s what I found out:

  • The man who invented the blender is Stephen Poplawski. Back in 1922, his intention was to invent an appliance that would make soda fountain drinks! The brilliant man put a spinning blade at the bottom of a container and this blade is supposed to chop, grind and puree food. Awesome idea.
  • In 1935, a man named Fred Osius made improvements to the original idea of a blander and created the Waring Blender. (It’s named after Fred Waring, who then willingly finance the invention of a better blender.)
  • The Waring Blender was the first ever blender to be sold commercially. It was later renamed to Miracle Blender in 1937.
  • Today many of the blenders that we use take after the products and blenders that Waring developed himself.

Interesting facts, aren’t they? Now, I will have to look for the most affordable and durable blender I can find so my kids can once again fresh fruit and vegetable yogurt smoothies.

      The blender is seems a must small electrical equipment for the modern family nowadays. I do have even two at home now, and one used.
      From my purchase experience, brand and budget is important, I went for Tesco in house brand as I was not enough budget for my first blender, but I found it was not useful, the knives are not sharp enough to cut the fruits into small pieces and turn the juice out. I did it manual even faster than the machine. So this was totally a fail investment and my money burned.
      I just donated the machine to the non- charity organisation for reselling for few dollar, hopefully.

      Second, better go for a glass jug blender because we might want to blend some acidic fruits like lemon, etc which might harm the plastic and caused the plastic wore out. So, it’s good to get a glass type for instead but only limited brand offer glass type with higher price.
