1. A blender configured to blend foodstuffs using different power modes, wherein blending occurs during blending operations having a blending duration, the blender comprising:
a blending component configured to blend the foodstuffs during the blending operations;
an electrical motor configured to drive rotation of the blending component;
a rechargeable battery configured to power the electrical motor;
one or more charging interfaces configured to conduct electrical power to one or both of the rechargeable battery and the electrical motor;
a charging structure including at least one magnet, wherein the charging structure is configured to provide increased stability of the blender during charging and/or blending;
a control circuitry configured to:
make a first type of detections regarding availability of power from the rechargeable battery;
make a second type of detections regarding usage of the one or more charging interfaces to conduct the electrical power to one or both of the rechargeable battery and the electrical motor;
control, based on one or more detections of the first and second type of detections, the electrical motor during the rotation of the blending component using at least two different power modes of operation, including a first power mode of operation and a second power mode of operation, wherein:
(i) during the first power mode of operation, a first amount of electrical power is provided by the rechargeable battery to the electrical motor during a first blending operation, and
(ii) during the second power mode of operation, a second amount of electrical power is provided to the electrical motor during a second blending operation, wherein the second amount of electrical power is provided conjointly by the rechargeable battery and through at least one of the one or more charging interfaces, wherein the second amount of electrical power is greater than the first amount of electrical power.
