While smoothies and protein shakes might be the most popular uses for blenders, good blenders can do a lot more. The best ones can liquify fibrous fruits and vegetables, blend hot ingredients for soups and sauces, crush a batch of ice cubes, and process thicker recipes like nut butter or hummus. A two-part lid and a wide range of speed settings also make a blender more versatile. Plus, good blenders are well-built, easy to clean, and not extremely loud. Depending on your preferences, you might want one that includes additional jars for single-serve smoothies or lots of blending programs for more automatic blending.
We've tested over 135 blenders, and below are our recommendations for the best blenders you can buy. For cheaper options, check out our picks for the best budget blenders, and if you mainly use your blender when preparing soups and sauces, you might want one of the best immersion blenders.
