There are some things you should consider when looking for a blender…

CHOOSE A TYPE OF BLENDER

SINGLE-SERVE BLENDER
If you’re into making the occasional smoothie or juice, consider a single-serve blender. They’re perfect to whip up a quick and healthy drink, they’re easy to clean and don’t require a lot of storage space.

STICK BLENDER
Stick Blenders are handy tools to have in the kitchen. They take up minimal space and can achieve many tasks quickly, such as blending soups, mashing potatoes, whipping cream and plenty more. Some models come with a number of accessories such as a whisk, small blender for herbs and sauces and larger container for liquids.

HIGH POWERED BLENDER
These are blenders with powerful motors which are useful for ingredients that need a little more force; like crushing ice and making nut butters. They also tend to have a higher capacity jug.

What: Cake batter, pizza dough, pasta, whipped cream and more.
Mixers are the perfect companion for bakers and dessert makers. From mixing cake batter, kneading pizza and even making fresh pasta, there’s a mixer to suit no matter what type of cook you are.
To help you find the right mixer, let’s first examine what you get up to in the kitchen and the different mixer considerations to take into account:

There are many mixers available with stylish designs that you can use to match the décor of your kitchen. Some manufacturers use the design across a number of small appliances, so you can match your mixer with the toaster, kettle and food processor to create a super chic look.
There are two types of mixers to choose from: Stand Mixers and Hand Mixers. Stand Mixers commonly come with single tool attachments while hand mixers come with twin tool attachments. Below is a table to give you an understanding of which mixer is best suited for what tasks:
- Can handle heavier loads
- Knead dough
- Higher price point
- Whisk and mix well
- Less expensive
- Stores away neatly

There are many clever small appliances that both reduce your time in the kitchen and cook delicious meals for you.
Some of these convenient small cooking appliances include slow cookers, which can cook while you’re at work or if you’re after a healthier cooking option, air fryers can help you treat yourself to fried snacks without all the oil and fat.
A lot of small cooking appliances are compact and easily fit on the kitchen benchtop. One such example are benchtop multi-function ovens, which boasts all the oven functions you know and love in a neat package that’s great for a snack.
Whatever your cooking task, you’re bound to find a small appliance that will help you get the job done. Below, we run through a range of our small cooking appliances and when you’re ready to shop, you can view the products, read reviews and find them at your local retailer!
What: Soups, curries, casseroles, dips, cakes and more!
Slow Cookers and Multi Cookers are super-handy cooking appliances that can cook for you while you’re at work or spending time doing the things you love, (instead of slaving over the cooktop). Just prepare your ingredients, pop them into the cooker, set the power levels and leave it to cook.
Slow Cookers basically have few settings to let you ‘slow cook’ your meals over an extended period of time, usually up to 8 hours. The types of dishes you can cook with a Slow Cooker often need the extra time, such as Soups, Slow Cooked Meats, Curries and Pastas.
If you’re interested in more than just slow cooking and want to have the option to cook all types of meals, then a Multi Cooker is a better fit! Multi Cookers offer a wide range of cooking functions from Pressure Cooking to Browning, Steaming, cooking Rice/Grains, Dessert and Yoghurt. Multi Cookers can cook everything a Slow Cooker can and more, from plain rice to sautéing vegetables, simmering sauces and making cakes and yogurts.
To help you find the right Slow or Multi Cooker to fit your needs, keep an eye out for the below considerations:

BENCHTOP OVENS & AIR FRYERS
What: Mini pizzas, hot chips, roast chicken, toasting bread and more!
Benchtop ovens are versatile ovens that occupy very little space on your kitchen’s benchtop yet they offer all the functions you would find in a typical oven. Bake, grill, toast, keep warm and many models now even come with an ‘air fry’ function so you can cook up any snack or small meal when you please.
Air Fryers use rapid heat technology to fry all your favourite treats without the need for the amount of oil and fat you would use when deep frying. If you’re after a healthier and guilt free alternative, then an Air Fryer will be your best friend. Enjoy hot chips, chicken nuggets and more with little to no oil. At most, you can just spray some oil spray to get the same result as traditional frying.
If you’re not sure whether a Benchtop Oven or Air Fryer is for you, have a think about the below factors and then check out our range to help you make the best decision for your needs:

BREAKFAST
What: Coffee, Tea, Toast, Crumpets, Raisin Toast and more.
Undeniably one of the most common and most-used small appliances are those we use for breakfast: Kettles and Toasters. From boiling hot water for making your first cup of coffee or tea and toasting bread, crumpets or raisin toast to fuel your day, kettles and toasters play a more important role than we think.
Whether you’re replacing a broken model, upgrading in size or moving out for the first time, we’ll guide you to the features you should look out for to find the perfect kettle and toaster for your needs.
Toasters are available with two types of slice slots: 2-slice and 4-slice. 2-slice toasters are great for smaller single or coupled households while families who have breakfast together in the mornings will benefit from a 4-slice toaster.
The list of things you can toast in a toaster is bigger than ever with controls and functions to match. Many toasters will let you choose to ‘reheat’, ‘defrost’ and determine how dark your toast will be. Other toasters are more advanced and will let you toast according to what the piece of bread is, for example there might be a ‘white bread’, ‘grain’, ‘crumpet’ and ‘fruit’ toasting controls as well as an LED display so you know the toasting progress. If you opt for a 4-slice toaster, you’ll be happy to know that most have dual controls, so you and the other person have total control over your toast’s browning levels.
