Mixer grinders equipped with a 500W-750W motor are considered best for home use. Since Indian cooking involves grinding and mixing of coarse masalas, opting for mixers with lower motor power won’t be wise. That said, you should always choose a mixer grinder depending on your cooking preferences. For instance, a 750W mixer will be better if you frequently ground spices like garam masala or jeera. If you use the appliance to make smoothies, a 500W model will do.
