NuWave Vacuum Blender: A Good Deal?
Along with the Tribest Dynapro DPS-1050, the NuWave Vacuum Blender was one of the first vacuum blenders to hit the shelves in the US. Below, we take a look at some of the features of the NuWave Vacuum Blender to help you to decide whether this new-generation blender is the right choice for you and your family.
Vacuum blending protects nutrients and keeps colors bright
As its name suggests, the NuWave Vacuum Blender uses vacuum technology, meaning that air is removed from the blending container to create a low-oxygen environment. As a result, one of the biggest problems in blending – the loss of nutrients caused by exposure to oxygen – is eliminated. Nutritional factors aside, another benefit of buying a vacuum blender is that the low-oxygen environment also helps protect the color of your smoothie. By contrast, when you blend a smoothie in a regular blender, the smoothie may soon develop a brownish color, especially if it contains fast-oxidizing ingredients such as apples or bananas.
It creates textures that are difficult to achieve with non-vacuum blenders
Not only do vacuum blenders protect nutrients and the color of blends that contain fast-oxidizing ingredients, they also create smooth and creamy textures without turning your blends foamy. What's more, vacuum blending emulsifies ingredients better than traditional blending, so you won't have to worry about the water separating from the other components that make up your blend. By contrast, when you use a regular, non-vacuum blender to blend a smoothie, the different components start to separate after a while, with water settling toward the bottom of the container.
The NuWave Vacuum Blender comes with a large, high-quality jug
This large-capacity vacuum blender comes with a 64-ounce jug that is perfect for making family-size batches of smoothies and other blends. As the jug is made from Tritan, a type of plastic that it is extremely durable and free from bisphenol-A, the NuWave Vacuum Blender is also a good choice for those who like to equip their kitchens with non-toxic kitchen appliances. Better known as BPA, bisphenol-A is a controversial chemical that some experts believe may cause health problems by wreaking havoc on the human hormonal system.
It's easy to clean
If you hate washing dishes, you'll love the NuWave Vacuum Blender. The blending jug is dishwasher-safe, so you can just pop it in the dishwasher for a thorough cleaning. The NuWave Vacuum Blender is also self-cleaning, which means that if the jug is not too dirty, you may be able to loosen most of the food residue by using the self-clean function. After that, all you need to do to complete the clean-up process is remove the jug and discard its contents, rinse it with warm water until clean, and then let it dry thoroughly.
It's a powerful blender with 10 speed settings
With 1500 watts of power and ten speed settings ranging from 5,000 RPM to 22,5000 RPM, the NuWave Vacuum Blender will blend almost anything. Even harder ingredients, like ice and nuts, are crushed into fine bits in a matter of seconds.
It's reasonably priced
We already know it: the best vacuum blenders can be quite expensive, many of them commanding prices in excess of $500. While the NuWave Vacuum Blender is by no means a cheap gadget, it is quite reasonably priced compared to many other vacuum blenders and Vitamix blenders, and considering what you get, it is definitely a good deal.
