High Performance Blender Space Issues
A kitchen space is tight in today's kitchen at rising real estate costs. Consumers usually fill their counter-top with juicers, toasters, grill-bake combo appliances, and anything else that appears to speed up the cooking process. According to a consumer research, we have found that over 60 percent of the time, small kitchen appliances are not even used. They are being packed away in under-the-counter cabinet space.
The Blendtec HP3A or Total Blender, and so does the Blendtec EZ blender, fit all under a cabinet on the counter-top with the container in place. The Vita Mix 5200, or the Vita Mix Vita Prep 3 hp blender and Vita Mix 4500 Turbo Blender fit only under the cabinet with the 64oz container stored next to it. And the Waring 3.5 hp blender (e.g. MX1050XT or MX1200XT) fits on the counter top equally with the Vita Mix. THe Waring blender requires slightly more footprint space.
When you use a sound enclosure with the Blendtec HP3A 3 hp blender or the Vita Mix 5200 / Vita Mix 3 hp blenders, the footprint of it is about 10 inches by 10 inches. And the sound enclosure does not usually fit under a cabinet on the counter-top. The sound enclosure for the Blendtec 3 hp HP3A or the Total Blender is 17 inches and for the Vita Mix 5200 blender it is 21.5 inches. If sinking the Blendtec Connoisseur or the 20 AMP smoother into the counter-top it is certainly more space saving but it also cost about twice as much as the Blendtec HP3A and the Vita Mix 3 hp blender.
Out-of-sight appliances are forgotten and collect dust. That is why toaster ovens, and even $200 dollar juicers at times are found on garage sales for $10 or $20. In our opinion, and according to our consumer study we performed, we found that many times consumers pack away their $400 or $500 dollar 3 hp high performance blenders, out of sight.
It takes a few seconds to bend down and get the blender out of the cabinet and set it up on the counter top and get it to work for your self. This is apparently too long of a time for those consumers who get already impatient when having to wait 2 seconds for a website to upload. That is why our consumers have reported that they use most likely small kitchen appliances when stored or positioned in sight on top of their kitchen counter top. Not necessarily are they really forgetting about their blender in the cabinet, but it seems a hassle for them to get it out. So, in stead they just open the fridge and drink anything that is ready.
That is why the 'ready health-drink and beverage industry' is so successful. For example, did you know that over 60 percent of consumers really rather stick their hand into the fridge and hope to reach a ready-to-drink health beverage? But they also told us, that preferred would be fresh smoothie made at home with ingredients they have control over.
In our opinion and according to our study, we have therefore concluded that a 3 hp high performance blender is really best and most effectively situated on an open counter-top space in your kitchen, close to an electric receptacle and without a kitchen cabinet above it. This ideal space arrangement will help you use the rather pricey investment more frequently and it can help you to even place an effective sound enclosure with it.
The most effective sound enclosures are those that fit into your budget, reduce the sound at least by 30% and don't use up the most space. But do not only consider the sound enclosure alone. Calculate the cost in of the blender that fits to the perfect working sound enclosure.
Some companies that make sound enclosures can make custom modifications to fit your needs. Regarding space usage consider the height all together and also the footprint. It is also suggested when choosing a sound enclosure and the blender of how easy it is to clean the outside and inside of the sound enclosure box. And how easy is it to take the blender and sound enclosure apart for proper sanitation.
