Blender Ratings

Full-Sized Blenders (75)

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 (7)

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 (34)

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.

Blenders Buying Guide

Want a quick and easy way to whip up smoothies and soups, and maybe even make your own nut butter? A great blender is the answer. You can get a plastic personal blender for as little as $30 or splurge more than $500 for a multifunction, premium glass blender with Bluetooth and food processor options.

Higher price typically means better functionality, versatility, and performance. Still, results are, well, mixed. Some blender blades broke under our rigorous durability tests using only ice. But that doesn't necessarily mean they'd break blending a real-world piña colada. This buying guide will steer you toward the best blender for your needs and budget.
