There are also four 16-ounce BPA-free travel cups with drinking lids in this kit to serve multiple people in your family at once. The two blades make this blender especially good for smoothies, according to our tester: “For a week, I made banana, apple, and kale smoothies in my blender every day, using the chopping blade to cut through the ice first and then switching to the blending blade to mix the drink,” she explains. You may also use your favorite travel cups to blend your smoothies whole.

- Great for soups and sauces
- Two blending speeds
- Difficult to operate
If you want to rid yourself of a device that sits on your counter, invest in a stick or immersion blender. Immersion blenders are great for combining hot foods while they’re still on the stove, such as purees and sauces. They can also make mayonnaise in a jar or a single-serving smoothie in a cup. Fortunately, the Cuisinart Smart Stick excels in all of these areas. Even better, you may keep it in your drawer until the next time you need it. It’s a blender with two-speed settings and a brushed chrome finish. The blending shaft is detachable and dishwasher safe for simple cleaning, and the included 2-cup blending beaker is likewise washable in the dishwasher. The top safety button on the blender, for example, requires two hands to operate and takes some getting used to.
Salton Harley Pasternak Power Blender
Look at this one from Salton if you want a high-powered blender that can handle everything from soups to shakes without paying a premium price. With a 2-horsepower, 30,000 rpm engine, and 2-liter jar, you can make soup for the family or slushie cocktails for the neighborhood. The cloverleaf-shaped pot feeds liquids into four sawteeth and four ultra-sharp Japanese steel blades for efficient mixing. It features a tamper for pushing ingredients down, with a few users complaining that seeds occasionally block the filter. It’s available in a variety of colors to suit your interior decor. Customers state that it’s taller than most competition, so be sure it’ll fit underneath your kitchen cabinets.
- Powerful and efficient
- Includes to-go bottle
- Good for soups, sauces, and smoothies
- Tall
- Seeds and certain fruits cause clogs

Rechargeable USB Blender Corolina Blue[/amalinkspro]- Easy and quick blending
- Dishwasher safe
- Good battery life and easy to recharge
- Have to cut fruit into small pieces
If you want to make an easily at your desk, blend baby food while traveling, or consume protein shakes on your next camping trip, this PopBabies rechargeable blender is a good alternative. It appears to be a travel bottle and may be used without removing the contents, which saves time washing dishes—and it’s dishwasher safe! It features a 16-ounce capacity appropriate to the portable style, and it may be fully charged in approximately three hours using the supplied USB connection. As a bonus, the blenders come with a funnel and a small ice tray that makes cubes small enough for the blenders to handle. This blender also has a disadvantage: It is so tiny that it isn’t as powerful as a full-sized blender. Some customers claim that it has trouble combining big pieces of fruit or ice.
What to Look for When Buying a Blender
Blenders began in soda fountains and made their way into home kitchens in the 1930s, allowing homeowners to produce their favorite malts and milkshakes. Today, 8 blenders are still used to make beverages of all kinds, whether delectable sweets or healthy smoothies. On the other hand, Lenders have become much more helpful since individuals have recognized that a spinning blade may be utilized for producing dressings, sauces, crepe batter, and a variety of other things. Some blenders are strong enough to grind nuts, grains, coffee, and spices. High-speed blenders also have additional capabilities, such as heating soups and making custards. Some models can even knead the dough.
Blenders have a larger base unit with a motor at the bottom of the 8 blenders jar and a blade at the top. Blender jars and blades come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Some containers have a non-removable bottom with a fixed blade, some have a detachable blade with a non-removable base, and others have an assembly that comes off the jar. The motor turns the edge within the pot, which chops, blends, or purees the food, regardless of its form.
Stick blenders (also known as immersion or hand blenders) are different from traditional blenders since the tiny blade is at the bottom of a long shaft that also houses the motor. These can be used in just about any container, from jars to mixing bowls to cooking pots.
You’ll find everything from tiny stick blenders to personal blenders that excel at creating a smoothie, countertop devices, hybrid machines designed for cooking procedures, and very powerful mixers that can turn grains to dust and ice to snow when looking at all blenders.
Key Considerations
Price
There are several different price points for blenders now, ranging from less than $25 to over $1,000 for higher-end versions. It’s good to think about what you’ll use your blender for and choose one that works with your demands and budget. Buying a milkshake pricer machine is a waste, but burning out the motors in several low-cost blenders may be just as pricey in the long run.
Durability
Glass blender jars can break if dropped, and a minor chip on the base might result in liquid leaking out of the pot while you blend. Although not as attractive as transparent, glossy glass versions, plastic jars are pretty durable. While they aren’t indestructible and can break or fracture if subjected to excessive stress, plastic pots can tolerate more abuse than glass. They’re also smaller and lighter, so you’ll be less likely to drop them because of their weight.
Consider the engine when it comes to durability. More robust motors will continue to function for longer, mainly if you use the blender frequently for stressful activities or lengthy sessions.
While some 8 blenders can’t be used for more than a minute or two without overheating, others may be used for up to five minutes without a problem.
Blending Power
Blending PowerBlenders can mix a milkshake, but you’ll need one that can chop and slice through items like nuts without stopping if you want to power through them to make your nut butter or smoothies. Power is distinct from speed since a fast-spinning blender blade can stutter against a hard carrot or a big piece of ice.
Blender Speed
The speed at which the blades spin affects how quickly your ingredients will be chopped and the final product’s texture. A rapid-action blend will turn your ice into fluffy snow, but a slower blender will produce tiny chunks and less appealing shards in your frozen drink. With a quicker blender, you’ll have smoother purees and creamy soups. Grains may be ground into flour using a powerful, fast blender.
Heating Ability
The friction generated by such high-speed blenders heats the ingredients and, in some cases, causes them to come to a boil. Because of this capacity, you may prepare certain meals with a blender, such as simple puddings and soups. This feature can be helpful for some chefs, but it’s not required to brew smoothies and frozen margaritas. While it’s nice to observe wisps of steam emerging from the vent on your blender’s lid, it won’t be worth the additional money unless you utilize this feature.
Available Accessories
If you use your blender to prepare smoothies for the family, extra to-go blender cups may be helpful. For some cooks, various blender jars in different sizes may be beneficial. Some blenders have the option of additional jar attachments, while others only include a basic pot. It’s also a piece of good knowledge to check if replacement jars, lids, gaskets, and other essential components are available for purchase if you know your blender will be used frequently in the kitchen.
Size/Storage
How much room you’d want to devote to a blender is determined by how often you use it. If you drink smoothies every day, it may be worth placing them on the counter so they’re ready to go. If you only use it irregularly, you’ll want a lightweight blender that can readily carry and store. A stick blender stored in a drawer is ideal for tiny kitchens. Extra blender jars, to-go cups, and other gadgets may be nice, but they take up room when they’re not in use.
Types of Blenders
Personal Blenders
Single-serving drinks are produced with a personal blender used for to-go cups. You may take your drink on the go without spilling it after removing the blade from the cup and attaching a drinking cover. When you’re mixing one sip at a time, you can personalize the combination for each family member by adding berries to one and kale to another. Some types feature more giant 8 blenders jars for more significant portions, while others make only one serving at a time.
Countertop Blenders
The most common countertop blender models can prepare milkshakes, mayonnaises, and purees. The more potent versions can break the ice with more muscle effectiveness degrees. Larger versions of the classic NutriBullet allow you to make a whole pitcher of smoothies at once, but you’ll need to pour it into your cup if you want to carry it. You’ll find the mid-range 8 blenders in most kitchens since many models have different price points.
High-Speed Blenders
High-speed blenders can melt foods by heating them through the friction the ultra-fast blades move through the food. They can also quickly emulsify sauces, mill grains into powdery flour, and form smooth purees and sauces. There are a few who can knead dough or execute other specific capabilities. High-speed machines like these, which cost a lot of money, are not for everyone. However, cooks who possess them adore them.
Stick or Immersion Blenders
A stick blender consists of a shaft with a blade at the end that houses the motor. Because of these blenders’ versatility, they can be used to make a variety of soups and sauces right inside the pot. They’re popular among chefs because they can make a little mayonnaise jar. Because they are tiny, it’s simple to store them. Most of them can even be stored in a drawer. Some models have additional accessories, such as a whisk, extra blades, or chopping jars that might be helpful.
Hybrid and Specialty Blenders
Hybrid blenders are a few examples of devices that combine the functions of an 8 blenders jar and food processor bowl into one single unit. For individuals who don’t have enough room for both appliances and don’t need all of the capabilities of a full-size food processor, mini food processors might be ideal. Some blenders are made for blending drinks, with a fixture built into the jar to dispense them.
Brands/Manufacturers
Oster
Oster is one of the most well-known blender brands, having named its line of home blenders the “Osterizer.” Although they still offer a retro-style blender with a beehive base, they have expanded their product line to include a wide range of 8 blender forms. Their blenders are typically low- to mid-range in price, yet they’re well constructed.
Hamilton Beach
On the other hand, Hamilton Beach is a well-known blender brand specializing in low- to mid-price 8 blenders, with a few models that tend toward the higher end with their professional-style blenders. These are sturdy and have a high user satisfaction rating.
Ninja
The Ninja blender brand is well-known for being inventive, especially its blenders. They have a wide range of popular personal and countertop designs. The Ninja brand of 8 blenders includes a unique stacked blade technology in which blades are positioned at various heights within the jar. This is the method that Ninja has dubbed “Total Crushing Technology.” It’s claimed to be able to crush ice into snow.
Blendtec and Vitamix
These two firms are at the top of the price and power pyramid, with blenders that can crush ice, cook meals, and more. Different consumers have different opinions on which brand is superior, and both firms continue to release new versions with new features. On one end, there are a few models priced around $300, while the maximum range is easily twice or three times that amount. While the pricing appears to be prohibitive, these blenders will last a long time and can do more than blend smoothies.
NutriBullet/Magic Bullet
The NutriBullet and Magic Bullet companies are both owned by the same firm, and some blenders have both names. They specialize in low-cost, pocket-friendly personal blenders that are ideal for making cocktails on the go. The Baby Bullet is a comparable blender from the same firm intended for parents to prepare their children’s food at home.
Salton/Harley Pasternak
Harley Pasternak is a high-speed blender from Salton found in the higher price range. This powerful blender can do nearly anything that an expensive high-speed blender can at a lower cost. While not entirely comparable to high-end brands, these blenders function effectively and construct well.
Cleaning
Like many other appliances, cleaning your blender might be a frustrating job; and when you’re cleaning your blender’s super-sharp blades, you’ll need to be especially cautious. While some blender jars are dishwasher safe, most experts recommend hand-washing.
Blenders with detachable bottoms make it easier to get to the jar’s bottom and all of the corners. Unfortunately, many of these have a gasket that can be lost, and the bases must be appropriately secured, or the jar will leak during mixing.
Ninja blenders with a detachable blade give you direct access to the bottom of the blender jar for thorough cleaning. It’s simple to clean the removable shaft with many edges since you can view the top and bottom of all of them, but it must be handled while washing since the blades are incredibly sharp.
High-speed 8 blenders with permanent bases and blades may need a complex hand washing procedure, but this isn’t the case. Fortunately, they don’t necessitate an intricate hand washing technique. Another cleaning idea is to mix a drop of soap with water. The blender jar’s lid and rim may still need to be cleaned, but it just needs a rinse otherwise. If the blender has a cleaning function, it will heat the water to clean out the jar’s interior.
Cleaning a blender is simple: rinse the blender jar after use to avoid food from drying and sticking. Before washing, add a little soap and water to the pot and give it a spin. It’s also more challenging to clean a wok using two separate pans. This will make hand washing easier by loosening the food.
FAQ’s
How do you clean a blender?
It’s good to clean your blender’s jar, base, gasket, and blade at least once a week. Some versions have dishwasher-safe jars and self-cleaning features, but you’ll have to wash everything by hand if yours doesn’t. Take everything out first. Warm soapy water is ideal for cleaning the jar, gasket seal, cutting blade, and jar base or locking ring. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Before washing the rest of the components, blend a 1:1 baking soda and water ratio for stuck-on food or a stubborn stench. Fill a clean dish towel with warm water and blot the top of the motor base (after unplugging it, naturally) to keep it clean.
Should I get a blender or a food processor?
Blenders are usually used to combine liquids and soft foods (such as smoothies), but higher-end versions are powerful enough to grind ice, crush nuts, and pure harsh ingredients. Chopping, slicing, grating, emulsifying (think pesto), and shredding are all tasks that can be completed with a circular blade cutter in a food processor. Some blenders come with a feeding tube that allows you to add ingredients as needed throughout the process. Some blenders come with food processor attachments, but they aren’t as efficient as the appliance alone. Decide what you need in the kitchen, not just the gadget’s characteristics and purpose. Many families who like to cook prefer two separate devices or one full blender, usually in the more expensive range.
Do blenders blades need to be replaced?
Generally, your blender blades should last you the machine’s lifetime if properly cleaned and maintained. You won’t have to worry about their sharpness, either. Knives, on the other hand, don’t require regular maintenance. On the other hand, replacement blades are available for some manufacturers, such as Cuisinart; however, they may be expensive.
