I'm in the market for a good blender. In reading Consumer Reports, they rated a Kitchen Aid excellent for purees and very good for smoothies. They rated a Braun blender exactly the opposite of the KitchenAid (very good for purees, excellent for smoothies). Isn't the ability to puree or smoothie the same thing?
No, not the same. Smoothie refers specifically to very thick drinks, often containing ice, that will load the motor heavily.
I suggest you take a look at VitaMix units, too. We have one that we've used for something like 10 years. Yes, it was expensive. But it's got a BIG honkin' motor, handles both wet and dry stuff, and I have yet to come up with something it won't grind up.
