In kitchens where cabinet and countertop space is at a premium, multi-purpose kitchen appliances like multi-cookers and soup makers (also known as blenders that cook) can make a real difference. Below, we take a look at a new space-saving kitchen appliance ideal for those who like to drink their vitamins: the all-in-one juicer-blender combo! At the end of this article, you'll also find a side-by-side comparison chart that provides an overview of some of the most popular juicer blender combos available on Amazon.

Juicer That Doubles as a Multi-Purpose Blender

Do you love to make smoothies and fresh fruit juices but feel a little cramped in the kitchen? Here's a solution: replace your bulky juicers and smoothie makers with a single, all-in-one juicer-blender! With this multi-functional kitchen workhorse, you'll be creating everything from smoothies, juice drinks and shakes to sauces, dips and cold soups in no time. These ingenious new gadgets come with a single base and two interchangeable heads: one for juicing and one for blending. All you have to do is change the head and your multi-purpose kitchen companion is ready to whip up your favorite healthy drink, whether it's an invigorating fruit smoothie, a refreshing juice drink or a filling protein shake.

Save Money by Buying One Appliance Instead of Two (or More)

Not only do 2-in-1 appliances and other multi-purpose gadgets save you valuable countertop and cabinet space, they may also help you save some hard-earned cash as you only need to buy one appliance instead of two (or more). Of course, how much – or little – you can save depends largely on which juicer-blender combo you decide to buy – high-end all-in-one juicer-blender combos such as the Breville BJB840XL combo, typically have more power and more features, which usually translates into a higher price tag. If you're only getting started with juicing and smoothie making, and aren't ready to shell out a lot of cash for a blender-juicer, you might want to look for a cheaper model first and then upgrade later once you know you can keep up the smoothie making/juicing habit (many reviews on Amazon praise the Oster juicer blender as a good juicer-blender for beginners who want to start with a relatively inexpensive model).
