How to choose
Power and bowl size

The Ninja runs 1000 watts with a 9-cup bowl, the Hamilton Beach runs 450 watts with a 10-cup bowl, the Cuisinart runs 300 watts with a 5-cup bowl, the Martha Stewart runs 250 watts with a 3-cup bowl, and the TWOMEOW runs 200 watts with 4-cup bowls. Match the bowl to the batch size and the wattage to hard ingredients.
