Choose a blender with a multi-serve jug if you want to make raspberry shakes for several friends in one batch; a personal blender makes more sense when individual drinks and compact storage matter more. If your recipe uses frozen raspberries or ice, check the exact model’s ingredient guidance, then compare usable capacity and cleaning instructions rather than relying on wattage alone. Follow the frozen-fruit pack instructions when preparing drinks for guests.
If you would rather blend once than prepare a separate cup for each visitor, compare multi-serve jugs. Ninja describes a 2.1L jug for the BN750UK, while Bosch lists 1.5L usable volume for the MMB6174SG; the two figures are not stated on the same capacity basis.
If frozen fruit or ice regularly goes into your shakes, look for guidance for the exact model and ingredient. Philips explicitly describes its HR2764/00 as suitable for recipes with frozen fruit and ice; that does not establish the same suitability for other models.
If washing up after guests is a priority, check which parts can be removed and put in a dishwasher. Bosch lists dishwasher-safe parts for the MMB6174SG, and Philips lists detachable dishwasher-safe parts for the HR2764/00.
For shakes served to visiting friends, decide whether you need one shared batch or separate drinks, then check your ingredients and clean-up routine.
| Concern | What to check | Who this matters to |
|---|---|---|
| One batch for visitors | Compare usable or effective jug volume where stated, and check the fill guidance for your intended batch. | I want to pour several shakes without blending each drink separately. Around 46% of consumers put a shared batch first. |
| Frozen fruit or ice | Check the exact model’s instructions for frozen fruit or ice, including any preparation required. | My recipe uses frozen raspberries or ice, so I need a model whose guidance covers those ingredients. For around 36% of consumers, that is the primary concern. |
| Clean-up and storage | Check which removable parts are dishwasher-safe and whether the appliance fits your storage space. | I host occasionally and would rather keep washing up and storage manageable than prioritise a large batch. This comes first for around 18% of consumers. |
Maximum and effective capacities can differ: Philips lists a 1.9L maximum capacity but 1L effective capacity for the HR2041/01R1. Bosch lists 1.5L usable volume for the MMB6174SG.
Work out how much shake you intend to make, compare usable or effective capacity where available, and follow the model’s fill guidance.
Ingredient guidance is model-specific. Philips describes the HR2764/00 as intended for recipes with frozen fruit and ice, but that statement does not extend to every Philips blender.
Before buying for a frozen-fruit recipe, check the instructions for the precise model and ingredient you plan to use.

No: choose a multi-serve jug if making one shared batch matters most, or a personal format if you are happy to make separate drinks. Compare the volume you need with the model’s usable fill guidance; Bosch lists 1.5L usable volume for the MMB6174SG, while Ninja describes a 2.1L jug for the BN750UK.
Check which removable parts the exact model allows you to put in a dishwasher, then follow its cleaning instructions. Bosch lists dishwasher-safe parts for the MMB6174SG, and Philips lists detachable dishwasher-safe parts for the HR2764/00; neither statement means every component can go in a dishwasher.
