Best Blenders in 2022

Vitamix blankets this list for more reasons than we can count, but we’ll do our best. Their 5200 model comes with a powerful motor, and an excellent sized pitcher of sixty-four ounces. A word of caution, you might have a heart attack at the price, but we can verify that every penny is worth it. We’re a big fan of how simple they make the configuration, and use high quality knobs and switches instead of crummy membrane touch-buttons on a soft touch panel. Equipped with high quality stainless steel blades, you’re able to cut through anything you toss in the pitcher.

Those blades do come with some serious power, and it actually has a negative impact. The longer you leave this on, the hotter your ingredients will get. Making thick alcoholic drinks or milkshake for 60-90 seconds will slowly be heated up, and that’s definitely not the desired result. It is a display of the motor’s power, which comes in handy for the sixty second self-clean option. In fact, Vitamix is so confident, that the entire blender, motor and all, is under a seven-year warranty.

Ninja is one of the best blender manufacturers in the world. Their products bring professional blending technology to the consumer market so that you can enjoy smoothies, cocktails, and more without annoying chunks in. This blender – the Ninja BL660 – has a powerful 1100-watt base that provides amazing power to the blades. It has an extra-large 72-ounce pitcher that can make enough for the whole family. Plus, it comes with two 16-ounce Nutri Ninja cups for serving. 

On the front of the 1100-watt base, there’s a simple control panel that gives you the option of three speeds, a pulse mode, and a single-serve option. We like this setup because it’s easy to use, provides plenty of functionality, and isn’t over complicated like some blenders.

The Oyster 1200 Pro Blender is powered by a 1200-watt motor that spins rotor blades at the bottom in forward or reverse motions. These motions, especially the reverse, ensure that larger particles of fruits or vegetables are pushed down towards the blades. And to further add to this ingenious technology, three different but related components have been included for more versatility in the kitchen; this includes a food processor, a smoothie cup and the blender itself. So, this means you can chop your salad, make delicious smoothies and milkshakes all in one machine. What’s more, when judging the overall design, there is no doubt that this machine was cleverly designed to efficiently integrate these components as they can be attached and interchanged on the same base. In addition, there are also four different speed modes to choose from; namely Pulse, Low, Medium and High.

All in all, the overall design of the Oyster Blender has been made for easy use. This includes its extra-wide bottom for easy blending of fruits and vegetables, the 48-ounce main container that can hold up to six cups of blended drinks, as well as the main container that made from heavy lab quality and temperature resistant glass; which ultimately prevents chemicals from leaking into your blended drinks. Furthermore, it comes built with a screw-on black plastic cap controlled by a lever that locks during operation. For more cool kitchen tools, check out our selection of the best food mills.

Much like the NutriBullet, the bullet-based shake blender phase is still alive and strong. Ten plus years ago, these are the number one gift for Christmas, and now, they’re among the top go-to small kitchen appliances for quick-use users. Designed with an 18oz cup, you’re only going to get one or two servings out of each blend. That’s okay, because Magic Bullet Silver Model Blender comes with a book for 10 second recipes, and works well to pulverize just about anything you toss into it. We can’t help but notice the rock bottom price; even when it’s not on sale, it’s still among the cheapest shake blenders on our list.

You get an eleven piece set, which is nice and all, but not every piece works as you would intend. Some of them are lower quality, and prone to breaking if you’re not careful. Much like the Ninja on the top of our list, you’re going to encounter some issues with the blades after about six months, meaning you’ll need to replace them in order to upkeep the quality blend it offers. Most of the set is dishwasher safe, while the motor is relatively quiet and super simple to store away. For convenience and a part of one, it’s time to make some magic.

Used by professionals, revered by culinary masters: Vitamix makes a strong argument that you’ve been putting up with too many low quality blenders for too long. These are the same blenders many mom-and-pop coffee shops are using, for reasons like the stainless steel blades than never seem to wear down. From the sturdy controls right on down to the weight in the base, Vitamix E310 Explorian Blender is built to last from top to bottom. As a warning, you will be dealing with an extremely loud motor during any operation, whether it’s pulse or a lengthy blending cycle.

You’ll also hit a high price tag thanks to the professional quality, but if you’re serious about amping-up your kitchen and the quality of your appliances, this is the last step you’ll ever need to take for a blender. The generous 48oz pitcher capacity is enough to make high volumes for your friends and family, while the variable speeds can expedite the entire process. Last but not least, we want to disclose how damn important the self-cleaning function is, and that it takes under a minute to work. No fuss, no mess, just a simple, quick cleaning process to close-off your blending session.

Ninja took to the professional realm to craft a bigger, better unit. Ninja Professional-Grade Blender comes with some serious power behind it, not to mention razor-sharp blades that take years to wear down (we don’t know what was going on with our top pick, but these are the blades they should’ve put into it). Fairly priced and sporting 72oz of total room in the pitcher, you’re ready to conquer just about any size meal, or round of smoothies/drinks for the family. As with everything, it comes with a few issues.

For one, the motor is so powerful, that this is going to move along the countertop and vibrate. You should be holding down the lid to prevent it from moving. On that note, the lid loses its super powerful seal after about two weeks or so, and it will lightly leak out small portions of your drink. Wasted drink and a mess to clean up equals not-so-happy user. They do throw in some of their Ninja Nutri cups, giving you up to 16oz of storage for on-the-go consumption. The whole unit is easy to clean, and we’re fans of the single serve function and keen measurements along the side. Altogether, an excellent blender that’s built to last.

Will it blend? Blendtec launched their certifiable marketing campaign with their killer spot on YouTube, blending everything under the sun. While these are powerful blenders, they’re going to cost you a pretty penny. They come with an eight-year manufacturer warranty on just about everything, including jar replacement, which some users have reported cashing-in on within the first four years. The functions along the front are clear and simple, and the motor doesn’t move off the counter just because it’s on.

While the motor’s a bit loud, we were expecting it to blend everything seamlessly. After you fill this past about half capacity, you’ll experience some chunkier results than preferred (which can be a bummer for seeded fruit smoothies). Blendtec Total Blender is built for commercial results, which usually don’ t mean utilizing the maximum capacity. Cold-forged wingtip blades will work tirelessly to blend and meld your ingredients, while the BPA-free build is simple to clean every single time.

One of the top providers of affordable kitchen appliances, Hamilton Beach comes swinging right out of the gate with a low-priced and effective blender. You get a sturdy glass jar with a broad handle, and a lid with a useful food chute feature. In our experience, these usually come out rather dodgy, but Hamilton Beach hit this one out of the part. Apart from the smaller features, you get a very simple interference. Quick to use, and just as easy to clean. WIth all those glorious attributes, you’re going to get stuck with a rather loud motor.

When you flip on the chopper attachment, that motor gets even louder, which is a real shame since the attachment is essentially useless. It’ll chop your veggies, but it’ll also mangle them pretty badly. Three speeds, one powerful motor, and a heavy bottom to prevent countertop buzz: it’s an all-around excellent purchase. On top of everything else, Hamilton Beach is known for their excellent customer service, and slapped a three-year manufacturer warranty on this model. Make sure you also check our guide to the best immersion blenders for more great items like this.

Another American household staple, Black+Decker brings us an ultra affordable blender with a few picadillos about it, but overall an excellent purchase. Starting with the stainless steel blades, you get four tips, and you’ll likely never need to sharpen them, even for standard daily use. While using it, you’ll hear the grinding of the motor connecting with the bottom of the pitcher piece, which can get pretty loud. It’s not recommended to use this early in the morning before you head out for work.

That motor only has 550 watts, which kind of sucks when you’re trying to blend solid crescent ice for thick smoothies. It gets the job done, but it takes more than a few minutes. We’re big fans of the simple construction: three pieces, simple to wash and reassemble. The lid locks down in place to prevent all forms of spillage and leaking, while the rubber grip action along the bottom eliminates countertop buzz and ample vibrations. Inexpensive, from a brand you can trust, and a two-year limited warranty; what’s not to love?

We’ve crossed over the halfway point in our list, and still have plenty of excellent blenders to showcase. Oster has been a third wheel in kitchen appliances, but with the Versa Pro, they’re front and center in our minds now. Everything is kept under the blanket of a seven-year warranty, protecting you from just about everything under the sun. That comes in handy, because the main canister seems to go after about two years of use on average. The 1,400 watt motor is powerful, which may be the issue behind the stress on the canister.

It gives those blades up to 250 MPH of speed, decimating whatever you toss into the unit. If you’re going to make thick smoothies and dense frozen drinks or desserts, you’ve found your kitchen wingman. Oster does bring 64oz of capacity to the party, and the whole thing is BPA-free and dishwasher safe. At a fair price for this level of power, you get multiple speed settings to mediate consistency, and a brand that boasts some quality customer service when it’s time to call upon that favor.

This blender company made waves way back when, and their quality still stands as a cornerstone of their brand name today. To start things off, you’re dealing with a great 64oz container, made of BPA-free materials to be both dishwasher safe, and pretty easy to clean. We wish we could say the same for the rest of the unit, because it’s a bit dodgy to disassemble, not to mention dangerous with those ultra durable stainless steel blades enclosed. The bright side of that is, you’ll likely never have to sharpen them throughout the entire blender’s lifespan.

Speaking of that lifespan, you’re backed up by a five-year warranty, so you can really put the splendor of Clearblend to the test. This 1,800 watt motor is seriously powerful, and with that, it’s also loud as can be. We honestly didn’t know blenders came this loud. It does include excellent grips and weight, so even with all that rumbling, it won’t go dancing off the counter. From the fair cost to the capacity and power, it’s an excellent purchase, and could definitely be used for commercial or professional needs.

One of the great aids of the kitchen, you guessed it, KitchenAid, knocked us off our socks with this one. From the stainless steel blades right on down to the diecast metal base, there’s a lot to love, and not enough words to cover it all. Those blades don’t need to be sharpened, which works excellently with the 56oz BPA-free pitcher. It’s one of the highest quality plastic pitchers we’ve seen yet, from the handle, right on down to the seal on the lid. That only goes for the outer rim, however; the interior plastic piece gets some leakage around the edges if you’re filling this more than ⅔ of the way.

Apart from the lid, the only other main grievance we had with Five-Speed Blender was the lack of quality on the control interface. As we’ve said across this entire buying guide, we’re not fans of how unreliable the membrane key touchpads are. For the speed functions, we had to tap the buttons a few times per movement, making it only half responsive. For the price and power, it can’t be beat. It’s also noteworthy that we were pleasantly surprised with the acceptable noise level, and after testing some of the other models on this list, it was a much-deserved break for our eardrums.

We’re coming to a close soon, but the remainder of these blenders are certain to give you something to look forward to. Mueller’s handheld Immersion Blender gives us a powerful 500 watt motor (for handhelds, that’s a good bit of oomph behind it), and solid stainless steel construction. If you’re only cooking for two, you might run into an issue with the high guard wall; it has difficulty reaching all the necessary areas, making it better for blending mixes or crafting baked goods instead.

You get nine speeds to control, alleviating the fear of mixing too quickly and splashing the sides/burning yourself. Mueller includes a two-year warranty along with their stellar price, as well as a whisk attachment. The whisk is okay, but if you plan on using it for thicker batters, such as boxed brownies or homemade cookie dough, it’s not going to hold up, and actually damage the motor. Attachment aside, this viable pick for your next blender will save you some green, and keep fully operational for years to come.

You were probably wondering, “Hey, what gives? No Cuisinart on this list?” We got you. You can’t avoid one of the prime names of culinary kitchen components. Made from durable materials, this dishwasher safe Handheld Immersion Blender drops at a great price, and brings with it a Cuisinart-backed, limited three-year warranty, which covers just about everything under the sun. The motor is only 200 watts, so you’ll be taking your time when using this blender, but anything beats a manual whisk.

Operations are simple, even though you only get to choose between two speeds. Hold on tight with the ergonomic grip, and stretch that five-foot power cord ‘til the last bit of leeway. We’ve whittled down the best blenders on Earth, but if you’re still not certain which one is perfect for you (we know, there’s a lot), continue reading through our comprehensive buying guide, and learn everything you need to know before making a committed purchase.

Manufactured with12 blending functions, the Hamilton Beach Power Elite Blender is a great addition to your kitchen appliances as it is designed to give the smoothest blend possible. To further explain; the powerful motor provides up to 700 watts at peak operation and uses the latest Wave Motion Technology, which draws down everything you intend to blend towards the blades, resulting in a smoother and even blend each time. And with the addition of a glass jar that measures 40 ounces, you will be free to blend up to five cups of fruits and vegetables. No doubt, glass is much safer than plastic and this particular jar has been tested to withstand high levels of temperature.

Other stand-out features of the Hamilton Beach Power Elite Blender include the control panel that comes with four buttons, two of which mange the pulse, with the other two handling high or low speeds. Additionally, the lid of this blender is pretty functional itself as it includes small vents that pop open if the pressure begins to build as a result of hot liquids. And also included is a spout for the easy pouring blended drinks into containers.

Ninja is the reigning champion of the blender battle, coming in with some serious value and power, and a sleek design to boot. One of our favorite things about Ninja is the ultra simple interface; nobody wants two dozen buttons and motions. The simple touch button interface is absolutely excellent, complimenting the strong and sturdy design. We talk about countertop buzz in our buying guide, basically the noise level and motor strength, versus the actual physical build of the blender. Ninja Professional Blender stands up to the test, weighing nearly ten pounds, so your mixture isn’t going anywhere, or producing unnecessary levels of buzzing.

All good things come with their flaws. While Ninja boasts one of the strongest motors on the market for any blender, the power behind it really wears down the blades. You can crush ice cubes in this and make excellent smoothies, but seeded fruits and vegetables will wear down the blades faster, decreasing their already short six month lifespan. On the plus side, you can throw these components in the dishwasher thanks to the BPA-free construction, and waste no time scrubbing out each component. All things considered, the cons are minimal; you’ll also get a one-year limited warranty, which can be viewed here, all directly from Ninja.

With the Nutribullet 600W Nutrient Extractor, you can have ultra-healthy and incredibly tasty snacks within minutes. It’s designed for personal use, with a 24oz cup that’s perfect for making one smoothie. The blender is powered by a 600W motor that powers the blades to make quick work of stubborn ingredients. Then, when you’ve finished with your smoothie, you can just chuck the separate parts in the dishwasher, ready for tomorrow. 

One of the most important features of a blender is the blade system. The Nutribullet 600W Nutrient Extractor benefits from powerful stainless steel extractor blades that use cyclonic action to work through tough ingredients. Basically, you’re not going to find any unwanted chunks in your smoothie. 

The Breville BBL620 Fresh & Furious has one of the best names we’ve seen on the blender market. Fresh & Furious really sums up what everyone wants from a blender – powerful blending and fresh, delicious snacks. It can back up the name with impressive performance too. Using even blending kinetics, it cuts, folds, and aerates ingredients, turning them into a creamy smoothie or soup. The blades are made from surgical grade stainless steel, which means they’ll stay sharper for longer. 

Another thing we like about the Breville BBL620 is that it has a control panel with a few presets for one-touch operation. With options for smoothies, ice-crushing, and more, it gives you an easy and immediate way to make a healthy snack.
