Watts, jar material, and what happens to ice · review
The entry blender here, and the only one whose lid carries a safety switch: Emerio states the motor will not start unless the lid is closed properly. 500 W, a 1.5-liter BPA-free Tritan jar, two speeds plus pulse, a stainless blade unit, and both jar and lid declared dishwasher-safe.
The net of it The sensible floor of this family. Emerio publishes a crush-ice function at 500 W, and it is fair to be skeptical of that pairing — a 1,600 W Braun exists three rows down for a reason. What it does publish that nobody else here does is a safety switch in the lid, and Tritan rather than glass means a jar that survives being knocked off a countertop. Two speeds is genuinely few.
The specification worth leading on, because nobody else in this family publishes it: Emerio states there is a safety switch in the lid, and that the blender will not start if the lid is not properly closed. On an appliance whose failure mode is a liter and a half of hot soup, that is not a footnote.
The second-lowest power of the four blenders here. Emerio publishes a crush-ice function alongside it, and a stainless blade unit. Where ice or frozen fruit is the daily job rather than the occasional one, the 1,200 W Tefal and the 1,600 W Braun on this site exist precisely for that gap.
1.5 liters of BPA-free Tritan, with both jar and lid declared dishwasher-safe. Tritan is the pragmatic choice: lighter to lift full, and it survives a fall that would end a glass jar. What it gives up is scratch resistance over years.
Two speeds and a pulse. That is few — the Braun publishes ten speeds and eighteen programs — and on a blender the useful consequence is that a texture between “fast” and “slow” has to be found with the pulse button rather than chosen.
Two awards, both named with issue and date: ETM Testmagazin 10/2021 and Haus & Garten 04/2023, both for value rather than for outright performance. We report the claim and its source; the magazines’ own criteria are theirs.

Emerio publishes a crush-ice function and a stainless blade unit at 500 W. It is among the lowest powers in this family — the Tefal publishes 1,200 W and the Braun 1,600 W — and where ice is the main job, that gap is the specification to weigh.
Tritan is a BPA-free plastic. It is lighter than glass and it does not break, which is why it appears on the entry and the top model here; the Tefal in between uses heat-resistant glass instead. Neither is better in general — they fail differently.
