Full-Sized Blenders (57)
You don't need to spend a bundle to get a decent blender. Many of the models we tested, even the less expensive ones, were competent at various tasks. Many have specific strengths, so choose one that suits your needs.
. . .Immersion Blenders (16)
Submerge this cylindrical device with exposed blades directly into the food or drink you're preparing. It's more of a complement to your countertop blender than a replacement.
. . .Personal Blenders (33)
This blender category is aimed at people who like to take their power shakes and yogurt-based smoothies on the go (mixing containers double as a travel jar). But they are not intended for hard-core blending.
