A blender is a small but mighty kitchen appliance that will blend your favorite smoothie into creamy perfection or crush ice for evenly blended slushies. But that's not all these kitchen staples are good for: lump-free blender pancakes, a batched watermelon margarita in minutes or homemade oat milk.
In the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab, we've gotten our hands on lots of blenders in the past two decades, testing more than 100 blenders in that time. And not just full-sized blenders — we've tested personal blenders, immersion blenders and blender-food processor combos to determine the best blenders you can buy this year.
Our top picks:
Our top tested picks include blenders ranging from $80 to $690 from brands that we love, including Vitamix blenders and Ninja blenders. Some models come with personal blending cups, food processor attachments and a variety of settings and functions. To determine the top-performing blenders that made this list, we put each model through a series of performance and ease of use tests. Find more about how we evaluate blenders in our Lab — plus everything you need to know to shop for your appliance — at the end of this guide.
If you're looking to read more about blenders, we've also reviewed the viral Beast blender as well as compared Ninja vs. Vitamix. If you're just looking for something to blend your protein powder, we've also tested shaker bottles.
