It is impossible to imagine a kitchen without a blender. These machines are used for making everything from smoothies to soups and sauces making them an essential kitchen appliance. However, the noise they produce rivals that of a vacuum cleaner which is one complaint that almost every chef has regarding blenders. Soundproof blenders eliminate the excessive noise associated with these machines. Soundproof blenders achieve a quieter operation through significant engineering and design upgrades that differ from regular blenders. This article explores these design differences and explains the key components of both types of blenders, so keep reading.
Key Components of Regular Blenders
The first and foremost difference between regular blenders and soundproof blenders lies in their components. A regular blender has the following components:
Standard blenders come with a motor ranging between 500-1500 watts, which offers ample power to crush and blend most ingredients. The motor is enclosed inside a plastic motor housing which offers little to no insulation. So any noise and vibration from the motor escapes the housing resulting in noise.
The blending jar is the top jug like container that contains the ingredients that need to be blended. Most blenders have glass or plastic jars that are transparent and allow the user to see the blending process. Regular blenders are designed with a focus on basic blending functionalities therefore, their blending jars are made of thinner material. The lightweight blending jars amplify the noise of ingredients being chopped and blended by the blades. While blending jars of regular blenders are durable they do little to contain the noise output during operation.
Regular blenders have stainless steel blades that are usually flat and rotate rapidly. These blades are either 4 or 6 in number and they blend the ingredients by striking them as they rotate. The focus of regular blenders is to provide basic blending, so their blades don’t incorporate any specialized design elements to make them more streamlined.
Regular blenders have basic base design usually made from rubber or plastic. The goal is to provide stability to the blender and prevent it from tipping over. The base design of regular blenders does little in terms of sound dampening. Most of the vibration from the blender get transferred directly to the countertops resulting in noise amplification.
These design elements made regular blenders cost effective and they are good for everyday tasks. However their noise levels are obviously high reaching up to 85 dB.
The design and components of a soundproof blender are meant to reduce noise output while maintaining performance. Here are the components and design elements of a soundproof blender:
The stand out feature of soundproof blenders that allows you to instantly tell them apart is the acoustic enclosure. This enclosure encases the blending jar and traps sound waves from the jar to reduce noise. These enclosures are easily removable however they fit securely in place during operation. The outer enclosures are also transparent so users can still see the ingredients being blended clearly. Regular blenders don’t come with the added enclosure on top of the blending jar.
Soundproof blenders feature high powered motors ranging up to 2000 watts or more. However despite the high power these sound proof blender manage the motor noise through specialized housing containing insulating materials. The base of these blenders contains foam or rubber layers that absorb the sound and vibrations to maintain a low noise operation. A well insulated motor housing is exclusive to low noise blenders.
Apart from the addition of layers inside the motor housing a low noise blender also comes with dampening supports built into their base. For example the HS-213 sound proof blender by Gemat comes with a sunken base to firmly hold the jar and enclosure and reduce vibrations. It also has specialized shock absorbing pads on the bottom to prevent the transfer of vibrations from the blender to the countertop. Last but not least, this low noise blender uses a coaxial silencer blade head that reduces bearing noise while the blades are rotating. Most high quality silent blenders come with these vibration dampening features built into their design. Regular blenders lack these advanced dampening features.
Shape of the blades and design of the container significantly impact the noise output of a blender. This is why the soundproof blenders have different blade and jar designs compared to regular blenders. The blades are not flat but instead they are angled to reduce rattling when they impact with food particles. Not to mention the vortex created by the silent blenders is more controlled allowing for lesser turbulence during operation.
The jar or the container itself is made from thick materials when it comes to soundproof blenders. The combination of angled blades and a thicker container walls further reduces the amount of noise that escapes the jar.
The specialzied sound dampening features of soundproof blenders require the use of higher quality materials and their designs are aesthetically pleasing as well.

By now it is clear that both types of blenders are built for different purposes. Here is a breakdown of the major differences between the two options:
● Don’t come with advanced dampening features.
● Made from standard materials.
● Noise reduction is not a priority.
● Designed using complex engineering.
● Advanced noise dampening features.
● Insulation is built into the motor housing.
● Made using high quality materials.
● Noise reduction is the priority.
Conclusion
Both regular and soundproof blenders have their applications and usage scenarios. Even though both types of blenders are ultimately used for blending and chopping ingredients, their designs vary significantly. If you prioritize high quality materials, and a quieter operation then sound proof blender is the clear choice for you. Their superior design and advanced technology gives them an edge over regular blenders.
