While it did have a nice glass bowl, the lid was infuriatingly hard to remove. Hamilton Beach Power Elite: Affordability aside, this blender didn't perform well enough to recommend. However, the Blendtec failed to grate cheese and the batter mixing preset was less effective than regular blending by speed. It oddly struggled with cheese grating and we found it to be noticeably louder than other models.īlendtec Total Classic: This popular Blendtec blender worked well with frozen ingredients and crushed ice, making it a good choice for blending smoothies and making frozen cocktails. Though considered a high-performance blender, at such a high price, we weren't wowed enough to recommend it. Vitamix 5200: Variable speed and sturdy design make this Vitamix 5200 blender a popular model for luxury blenders. If you have your heart set on a colorful blender with retro flare, the KitchenAid is a good option. It has five speeds, pulse and three presets. KitchenAid K400: This KitchenAid blender is beautiful, but left something to be desired when it came to performance for that price. The digital blender feels cheap and flimsy and netted mediocre results in testing. That's especially true when you consider the bloated prices. I'd also worry about the shelf life of its all-digital control panel.Ĭuisinart SmartPower SPB-7CH: It's hard to figure out what happened to this stalwart kitchen brand but this blender model, along with other Cuisinart appliances I've tested lately, have been disappointing. It's serviceable, to be certain, but didn't excel in testing and it feels a bit cheap. ![]() It also has a reverse blend button which is great for crushing ice and making nut flour.īeautiful by Drew Barrymore: We've been impressed by other products from this new line of budget-friendly kitchen appliances, including the electric kettle and air fryer. You're almost getting two appliances here, a blender and a food processor. It's on the expensive side, but this price includes a beverage container and a set of bowls and blades for food processing. Oster Versa Pro Series: This Oster model is a good performer and includes a few extra features we found helpful. Worth noting that it's the tallest of the blenders we tested so it won't store as easily as some of the others. We also love how this blender looks with its shiny stainless steel armor. It almost feels industrial grade and creates a vortex inside akin to something you'd see at a science museum. The Hurom Hexa doesn't have many fancy presets and functions (just smoothie, ice crush, soup and pulse) but does have 1,600 watts of power to whip the crap out of anything that you put inside. Hurom Hexa Power Speed: If you're looking for simple functionality and pure power, this is our top pick. And if past experience with Breville kitchen appliances is any indicator, it will last you a while. If you've got half a grand to spend on a blender, you won't regret the Super Q. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is the most expensive blender we tested, but it was also the most pleasurable to use. Yet since it's not trying to reinvent the wheel, there aren't so many that it'll overwhelm you. The Breville has a few blender settings and programs. It shredded cheese with ease, pulverized raw almonds to smithereens and made quick and consistent work of ice and a pancake batter mix. There are also dozens of presets which take time to learn but, once you do, make blending a very enjoyable experience.Īs for the tests we ran, the Super Q did as well or better than any of the others. In addition to the 68-ounce canister and a staggering 1,800-watt motor base, you get a 24-ounce blending cup with its own separate blade attachment for making single-serve smoothies or soups to take on the go. The Q also comes with loads of extras but nothing superfluous.
