Energy costs are negligible due to short run times. Cost of ownership is minimal, but replacement blades or damaged pitchers may be needed over time.
Common Failure Modes
Motor burnout from overloading (e.g., thick dough or too much ice) is the main failure. Rubber gaskets on blenders wear out, causing leaks.
High-performance blenders (Vitamix, Blendtec) pulverize seeds and make hot soup via friction. Stand mixers (KitchenAid) should be chosen based on bowl lift vs. tilt-head designs.
Cheap blenders last 3-5 years. High-end mixers (like KitchenAid) can last 20+ years.
