Of course, any smoothie blender is only as good as its user. That also includes proper care and usage. When using a smoothie blender it's best to chop up fruits and vegetables, especially harder ones, into smaller pieces before placing them into the smoothie blender. You also shouldn't fill the jar any higher than 3/4ths of its capacity to leave room for the movement of the larger items in the blender. If your blender is ever struggling to blend, stop or even starts emitting a burning smell you should stop it immediately, of course, to check for any pieces of fruits or vegetables that are too big or stuck. Lastly, if you're continuously using your smoothie blender you may want to give it a break for a few minutes, if it starts getting too warm. As you can expect, you'll find the more expensive blenders for smoothies are more powerful and tolerant of larger pieces of fruits and vegetables. So knowing what you need, power-wise and in your price range, will help you immensely in picking the best smoothie blender for you.
Blender should be filled to a maximum of 3/4th the jar size, to give room for movement. This way, the motor will be toss around the fruits, or vegetables along with other items. If the blender is too loud, or stops mid-way, or if you sense a burning smell - stop it immediately. The pieces should be checked for sizes and bigger ones should be chopped further. Also, is pieces are stuck; they should be tossed around, to avoid overloading the motor. Last but not the least, if the motor gets heated up, it is time to give smoothie blenders few minutes of break, before continuing further. Generally the more expensive blenders for smoothies can tolerate larger chunks of fruit and vegetables compared to cheaper ones.
