Top Blender Picks

While many people buy blenders mainly for smoothies, the best ones are versatile enough to tackle hot soups, nut butter, frozen drinks, and more. Features like a two-part lid, a tamper, and a wide range of speed settings help make a blender versatile enough for any recipe. If you make a lot of puréed soups and sauces, you may want something that can also process hot ingredients. Plus, good blenders aren't extremely loud and don't make cleanup difficult. Some even come with additional accessories, like extra personal jars for blending single-serve smoothies.
We've tested 130 blenders, and below are our recommendations for the best models you can buy. If you prefer a smaller blender, the best personal blenders and the best bullet blenders are mainly intended for making smoothies and are usually more compact and less expensive. The best immersion blenders are designed for blending hot ingredients directly in a pot or pan, but they aren't as effective for other recipes.
