How to choose
Wattage and ice crushing
Wattage states the motor power behind the blades. The COZII draws 2000 watts, the Aeitto 1800 watts, the Chefman 1380 watts, the Ninja 1000 watts and the Hamilton Beach 700 watts. Compare wattage together with the blade design and the ice setting, since a stated ice-crush program shows the maker built the blender for ice. A high wattage alone does not settle the choice.
Jar size and batch size
Jar size sets how much you blend at once. The Ninja pitcher holds 72 oz, the Aeitto jar 68 oz, the COZII pitcher 64 oz, the Chefman jar 48 oz and the Hamilton Beach jar 40 oz. Match the jar to the batches you make: a larger jar suits several servings at once, while a smaller jar suits one or two servings. The COZII also includes a 21 oz to-go cup that blends directly on the base.
Cleanup and upkeep
Rinse the jar soon after blending, and use the self-cleaning mode where the maker gives one: the COZII runs with warm water and a drop of dish soap, and the Aeitto rinses in 30 seconds with water and detergent. Keep blades and lids dry between uses.
