Main bowl
The volume of the main bowl supplied with the device.
For more information about the main bowl, see "Capacities". And the amount of product that can be loaded into the device at a time directly depends on its volume. On the other hand, a capacious bowl has the appropriate dimensions and cost, and also puts forward increased requirements for engine power. Therefore, you should choose according to this parameter, taking into account real needs. And also you should consider that for stand mixers with a bowl, in most cases, the volume means the total size, and not the useful one. The bowl must be filled less than 2/3 during cooking (here it is already individual and you need to look at the instructions for the product).
Blending arm material
The blending arm consists of a tube with a bladed knife located at one end. Specified for
immersion blenders(see “Device type”) and other devices equipped with the appropriate attachment (see “Attachments”). Usually there are such options:
—
Plastic. Plastic is a popular material for blending arms because it is lightweight, inexpensive, and easy to manufacture in various colors and even transparency. It is susceptible to scratches and less strong than metal, but this is not critical as blending arms are not subject to significant stress. Overall, plastic is a convenient and widely used material.
—
Metal. Metal blending arms are strong and scratch-resistant, giving them a solid appearance. However, they are heavier and more expensive than plastic ones, making them more commonly used in premium blender models where design is as important as functionality.
