Silanga BL550 blender review - advantages and disadvantages, specifications and model test

The brand specializes in blenders and has recently entered the Russian market. Its devices are distinguished by high-quality assembly and reliability of structural elements. Disadvantages - not a very wide range.

In the modern world, the rhythm of life is very active, so there is less and less time for household chores. In the modern world, less and less time is left for household chores, including cooking.

To simplify the cooking process itself, manufacturers offer multicookers, juicers, bread makers, and so on. But still one of the main kitchen assistants is a blender.

Kinds

Blenders are divided into two types, submersible and stationary. Immersion blenders are currently becoming less and less popular, while stationary appliances are coming to the fore. They are more functional and can handle more complex tasks. In a stationary blender, you can prepare cocktails, smoothies, baby puree, sauces, batter, cream soup, ice cream.

According to experts, the main criteria for choosing a blender are: the speed of rotation of the knives, the volume and material of the container, functionality, power and safety.

Silanga BL550

Today we will look at the Silanga BL550 stationary blender. Included from the manufacturer are: - a motor base of the selected color (gray, green, orange) - a shaker bowl - a removable module with 4 blades - a drinking lid with a valve - a storage lid - instructions in Russian.

The user manual describes in detail the capabilities and limitations of the instrument. The product is very easy to use, you need to add ingredients to the shaker in accordance with the recipe, screw the knife block, fix it in the grooves and turn on the grinding mode with one touch.

Push-button control makes cooking in this device as easy as possible. The lids are equipped with high-quality seals, so the contents of the shaker will not spill during use.

All components, except for the motor base, can be washed in a dishwasher at a temperature not exceeding 60 degrees. Now consider the blender according to our criteria

Blade rotation speed

The key metric for a stand blender is blade speed, not power, as many users believe. The more powerful the blender, the louder it works. And it is the blades that are engaged in the direct grinding of the ingredients.

In a blender, the rotation speed is 24,000 rpm. A very decent figure, which is higher than some of the larger models. This speed allows you to grind nuts, ice, fruits, vegetables, frozen berries to a homogeneous mass.

Volume and material of the container

There are two types of bowl material: Glass or environmental plastic. Glass bowls are much heavier and the only advantage is the preparation of hot mixes, but in such devices the knife block must be built-in, and this, among other things, complicates the care of the device.

The eco-plastic bowl weighs much less, the knife block can be removed, which will greatly simplify cleaning after use. The bowl of the Silanga BL550 blender is made of eco-plastic and at the same time is a shaker in which you can prepare a drink and take it with you.

The working volume is optimal 550 ml. This is less than that of large appliances, but according to statistics, housewives rarely use a larger volume for home use.The detachable knife block and shaker are very easy to clean, even in the dishwasher.

Functionality

You can prepare batter, nut butter, sauces, smoothies, detox shakes, baby puree. All this can be done at the same speed. If you need a pulse mode, you can play it by interval pressing the shaker.

The weight of the blender is 1 kg, the shaker weighs about 100 grams, and its compact dimensions will allow even the most fragile housewife to put the blender in the closet after use without any problems.

Power

The power of the device is 300 watts. The motor spins the blades up to 24,000 rpm, while running quieter than its counterparts in the shop without loss in the quality of grinding products.

Safety

The Silanga BL550 motor is equipped with overheating protection, a cooling system is thought out during the operation of the device itself. The lids and the knife block are equipped with high-quality seals, which will not allow the contents to leak during operation of the device.

The legs are equipped with suction cups, so the blender itself will not slide while working on the countertop. If the assembly is incorrect, the device will not turn on. Test of real possibilities. We decided to take a few recipes and check the performance of the device.

Healthy Recipes

Smoothie with oatmeal

As a base for the smoothie, we took 300 ml of regular 1% kefir, cut bananas into large pieces and 2 tablespoons of oatmeal. It took the blender 40 seconds to prepare the cocktail, after which we got a drink with a slight banana flavor.

The mixture turned out homogeneous, creamy and not very thick. Perfect for a nutritious and healthy breakfast.

Kiwi and frozen strawberry smoothie

For this cocktail, we took peeled kiwi fruits, frozen strawberries, 200 ml of orange juice. They cut the kiwi into quarters, and put the whole strawberries in a shaker. After 60 seconds of grinding, we got a homogeneous drink, with a thicker consistency than the previous one. A good choice for a vitamin boost throughout the day.

Detox smoothie with cucumber and avocado

To prepare this cocktail, we cut a cucumber into rings, sliced ​​a ripe avocado, added herbs and 200 ml of water. In a minute, the blender crushed both the soft avocado and the hard cucumber until smooth. Suitable for any detox diet.

Results

We studied the Silanga BL550 stationary blender from both a technical and a practical point of view. The device is inherently a compact device that is in no way inferior to "big" colleagues, while not taking up much space in a closet or kitchen.

It performs the main functions of grinding perfectly, while it has significant advantages in comparison with competitors. Very easy to use and maintain. Removable knife block, lids and shaker bowl are dishwasher safe. You can take a bottle of ready-made drink with you.

If necessary, you can even take the whole blender with you, since the weight of the motor base is only 1 kg. The disadvantages include the inability to cook hot cream soup, but not a single blender with a bowl made of environmentally friendly plastic (tritan) will allow us to do this.

The test of real possibilities for preparing various cocktails, Silanga BL550 passed with a bang and can rightfully be considered an excellent stationary blender that can become your assistant in the kitchen.
