The 4 Best Quiet Blenders - Spring 2023 Reviews

The best quiet blender we've tested is the Wolf Gourmet Pro-Performance. This very well-built, high-end blender is much quieter than most full-size blenders we've tested, and it's still powerful enough to handle just about any blend. It comes with a 64-ounce jar and has a speed dial that gives you access to a wide range of speed settings and a few automatic blending programs. There's a 2-part lid for the jar, and it comes with an 'emulsion cup' which you can use to gradually add ingredients in a steady stream for recipes like mayonnaise or hollandaise sauce.

It quickly liquifies fibrous ingredients like kale, even if you're working with a smaller batch, so it's a fantastic option for recipes like single-serve smoothies—especially because its relative quietness helps avoid waking up the whole house when you blend your morning smoothie or pre-workout shake. It has no problem crushing ice or blending mixtures like nut butter. It has a lightweight, fairly compact design for a full-size blender, and it's very easy to clean by hand.

If you're looking for a cheaper option, check out the Hamilton Beach Professional Quiet Blender. This blender isn't as versatile as the Wolf, but it's even quieter, thanks to the noise dome, a plastic cover that goes over the blender to muffle the noise when it's running. Using the noise dome, it's one of the quietest blenders we've tested—it's only slightly louder than some battery-powered blenders with much weaker motors. It has a great build quality and a speed dial that lets you fine-tune the blending speed.

It makes a smooth blend with fibrous ingredients like kale and broccoli, so it's a particularly good choice if you're looking for the best quiet blender for smoothies. However, for recipes like nut butter and ice cubes, you need to use the tamper to get the best results - which means you need to remove the noise dome, making the blender noticeably louder. The main pitcher's capacity is only 32 ounces, which is small for a full-size blender.

You don't necessarily need to spend a lot to find a quieter blender. The Ninja Professional Plus Blender DUO with Auto-iQ is a great option if you want a budget-friendly quiet blender. This less expensive blender doesn't have the same fantastic blending performance as the previous picks. However, it's still quite versatile and only somewhat louder than the Hamilton Beach Professional Quiet Blender. It comes with a large-capacity 72-ounce pitcher and a 24-ounce personal jar and a to-go lid meant for making single-serve drinks like smoothies.

Using the main pitcher, it doesn't make a completely smooth blend with fibrous fruits and vegetables, so it's less ideal than the previous picks for bigger batches of smoothies and soups. However, using the personal jar, it can make a superb smoothie with additions like kale and blueberries. It also has no problem making snow-like crushed ice. However, since it doesn't come with a tamper or 2-part lid, you have to remove the lid to stir mixtures like nut butter to get the best results. Plus, the very sharp blades make it hard to clean by hand, although the jars, lids, and blades are all dishwasher-safe.

If you mainly use your blender for single-serves like smoothies and protein shakes, you might prefer a personal blender. The Beast Health Blender is expensive for a personal blender, but it's very quiet and powerful, making it worth considering if you're looking for a blender that won't hurt your ears first thing in the morning. It's well-built and has a sleek, modern-looking design. The 32-ounce jar has a flat storage lid and a drinking lid with a screw-on cover and a handle, so you can easily carry it around.

It has fantastic overall performance and is particularly well-suited for smoothies since it can make a nearly perfectly smooth blend with fruits and leafy greens. It can crush ice cubes and make very smooth nut butter without much effort. It's easy to clean by hand, although the jar has ribbed sides requiring extra scrubbing if you've been working with sticky ingredients. The jar and lids are dishwasher-safe, but clean the blades by hand.
