7 Best Blenders to Buy in 2022, According to Expert Testing

We carefully reviewed this story in October 2022 and stand by our picks selected by the Good Housekeeping Institute. We are currently testing Vitamix blender models side-by-side and will share those testing results soon.

You need a blender that can easily process your ingredients into smooth, creamy perfection if you're whirring up an energizing healthy breakfast smoothie. But that's not all these kitchen staples are good for. Your blender should crush ice for silky smooth frozen cocktails and vegan protein shakes, puree velvety soup in minutes and grind oats for homemade oat milk.

In the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab, we’ve tested everything from immersion blenders to food processors and more than 100 blenders over the years to find the best high-performance blender models. Our top tested picks include blenders ranging from $80 to $550 from brands that we love including picks from Vitamix and Ninja and models that have personal blending cups with lids for easy portability. These are the best blenders you can buy in 2022, according to extensive testing and in-home use by Good Housekeeping experts.

You can read 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 explore more options, we've also reviewed the viral Beast blender.

How we test blenders

In our recent side-by-side test at the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab, we tested 25 new blenders. We have tested more than 100 blenders over the years, including numerous immersion blenders and personal blenders, to find the best high-performance models. We test each with the same standardized recipes to see how they stand out among the rest. When we test personal blenders, we adjust the recipes accordingly.

Good Housekeeping/Eva Bleyer

In our most recent test, to see how well blenders could handle hard ingredients, we ground more than 3 pounds of coffee beans, blended nearly 10 pounds of frozen strawberries and pulverized over 650 ice cubes. This photo shows how seven different blenders blended the same strawberry green smoothie recipe very differently.

Good Housekeeping/Eva Bleyer

To help mimic how a home consumer would use a blender, we also make vanilla milkshakes and frozen margaritas. During Lab testing, we weigh the final product and strain it through a mesh sieve to evaluate whether all ingredients are fully blended and whether each grind or puree is uniform.

Good Housekeeping/Eva Bleyer

We also make a broccoli leek soup, if the blender is equipped to blend hot ingredients. A blender must have vents in order to safely blend hot ingredients and you should avoid blending hot liquids in a personal blending cup, which could potentially cause burns upon opening.

Good Housekeeping/Eva Bleyer

If a blender comes with a food processor attachment, we also test that attachment to see how well it performs. We shred carrots and mozzarella, mince parsley, grind parmesan and slice pepperoni and tomatoes.

When testing, we rate the helpfulness of the owner’s manual and evaluate how easy each model is to assemble, use and clean. We also consider how noisy each blender is while operating. Finally, we check how well the blender cups resist staining from tomato sauce that is left overnight. We measure the wear after 14 cycles in the dishwasher.

What to consider when shopping for blenders

✔️ Blades: While it might seem counterintuitive, better-performing blenders do not come with sharp blades (which tend to dull over time). Instead, they come with strong blades that stand the test of time and are able to pulverize just about anything. This also makes them much safer to clean.

✔️ Size: If you don't plan to keep your blender on your countertop, look for a lightweight model. They're more portable but also more likely to skid around on the countertop when in use. If you want to keep your blender on the counter, be sure to consider the height, as some models are too tall to fit neatly underneath kitchen cabinets. If a countertop blender is too big for your kitchen, consider an immersion blender that’s slim and can tackle most of the same tasks.

✔️ Glass vs. plastic carafe: Glass is heavier, but it won’t retain odors or stain as easily as plastic models. Most high-powered blenders do not use glass jars because they're not guaranteed to be completely shatterproof, but if you really want glass, look for one that’s been thermal-shock tested (which means you can blend ice in a canister that's come straight from the dishwasher). Many of our top-performing blenders have jars made of BPA-free Tritan plastic, which can withstand high-speed blades.

✔️ Wattage: Blenders with higher wattage tended to perform better, but this was not always the case: The overall design of the blender is more important in determining performance.

Blenders can purée vegetables into soup, crush nuts into butter, whir dressings and sauces into silky emulsifications, chop ingredients into salsas, and, of course, make smoothies. They’re truly so useful, as much of a staple for many people as a stove or microwave. But there are also a lot to choose from, and in an attempt to narrow down the wide and overwhelming field, I asked a bunch of pros and avid cooks about the ones they rely on in their own kitchens.

First things first: Vitamix reigns supreme in the blender universe. Many of the people I spoke with own various models — it is, hands down, the most lauded brand across the board, making the kinds of pieces that will last you an actual lifetime. That being said, if you don’t use a blender with a ton of regularity, can’t splurge on something so pricey, or are living in a small space that doesn’t accommodate big appliances, there are plenty of other options with ringing endorsements to back them up.

Best overall | Best less expensive | Best even less expensive | Best manual | Best small | Best large Best for smoothies | Best quiet | Most stylish | Best immersion

Capacity: For this category, I’ve listed the maximum capacity for each blender. The size you want will be determined by what you plan to use it for most (different if you primarily intend to emulsify salad dressings versus blend smoothies for a few people at a time, for example).

Automatic or manual: Some blenders on this list are automatic, meaning they have predetermined settings that allow you just to click and walk away. Others are manual, so you have to monitor the blending process the whole time.

Size: These machines can get bulky, so when choosing one, you want to make sure you’re considering where you’re going to store it and plug it in. Here, I’ve noted the exact dimensions of each model.

Vitamix Professional Series 750 Blender

$537

$630 now 15% off

$537

64 ounces | Automatic | 8.5 by 8.5 by 17.25 inches

Like I said before, Vitamix has a lot of blender options. On the lowest end, there’s the Vitamix One for $250 — a no-frills but still-powerful option if you don’t need or want a bunch of settings, buttons, and attachments. On the highest end, there’s this model. Despite the name, it is beloved by professionals and regular cooks alike. It’s expensive, yes, but according to everyone who owns one, well worth the investment. It comes with five presets for smoothies, soups, frozen desserts, purées, and a self-cleaning option (you just drop a bit of soap in, whir the motor, and rinse). And unlike the One, it can easily handle tougher ingredients like nuts and grains (which means it’s also extra-efficient at crushing ice). Plus, as with all Vitamix blenders, it comes with a great warranty — something noted by Green Kitchen Stories co-founder David Frenkiel and recipe developer Sophia Roe. “If any piece of it gets run down or stops functioning properly, they take care of it,” Frenkiel says. Finally, it’s got a lower profile than many, able to sit underneath most regular kitchen cabinets.

“This blender is industry-standard and used across most professional kitchens. When I was head of product at Daily Harvest, I used it every day for research and development,” says Jessica Young, former fine-dining chef and current founder and CEO of Bubble. Moon Juice founder Amanda Chantal Bacon also employs the Vitamix at her shops but has one at home, as well. “I love using it because of its ability to whip air into ice cream or tonics or even coconut milk — it gives the fluffiest mouthfeel that no other blender can replicate,” she says. Gaby Dalkin, cookbook author and blogger at What’s Gaby Cooking likes that “it has a smoothie setting, so you can throw all your ingredients in, turn it on, and walk away.” Nutritionist and wellness coach Molly Alliman told us she uses hers “every single day” and that “it works for blending frozen fruits, heartier vegetables like kale, whole nuts, and anything else that would leave chunks in other blenders.” Finally, Jewish Food Society founder Naama Shefi turns to her 750 for pasta sauces, among other things. “It’s a great way to sneak in protein like almonds for my kid because it blends right in,” she says.

Blendtec Total Blender Classic

$376

$376

36 ounces | Automatic | 8 by 7 by 15 inches

The Blendtec Classic comes enthusiastically endorsed by Christine Sahadi, owner of New York City’s Middle Eastern market and restaurant, Sahadi’s. She told me about it for this story a while back, noting in our interview that both Blendtec and Vitamix make very good quality units. “I just personally like the Blendtec,” she says. She has owned hers for more than a decade and finds that its super-powerful blades, which operate at five preset speeds, emulsify sauces, dressings, and aioli handily. It also, perhaps most importantly for Sahadi, makes the perfect hummus. “If you don’t have a really good blender, you have to add a lot of ice water or cooking liquid to help smooth things out,” she explains. “By the time you get there, the hummus has become too drippy.” The Blendtec, it’s important to note, has just a bit more than half the capacity of the Vitamix 750, so you won’t be able batches that are quite as big.

Hurom Hexa Power High Speed Blender

$349

$349

68 ounces | Automatic | 17 by 13 by 9 inches

If you want a high-speed blender on the larger side — and one that’s less expensive than both the Vitamix 750 and the Blendtec — Strategist writer Kat Gillespie recommends this Hurom. She notes the plastic container’s sturdiness and says the base “has a nice weight to it,” though she warns that the appliance is definitely “pretty hefty and takes up space.” The machine has both automatic controls (for smoothies, ice crushing, and soup) and manual ones; Gillespie uses hers mostly for smoothies. “It makes the perfect consistency — very smooth, no lumps, even if you don’t measure out a good ratio of liquids to solids — and is very convenient as you go about your morning and do other things,” she says, referring to the automatic button you can simply press and walk away from.

Vitamix E310 Explorian Blender

$350

48 ounces | Manual | 11 by 8 by 18 inches

A more affordable Vitamix model is this Explorian Series E310. If you don’t care about the automatic settings on the 750 or the smaller container size of this one, Ksenia Avdulova, founder of Breakfast Criminals, thinks it’s a sure bet, even with daily use. “I personally prefer the manual-switch experience versus touchscreen,” she says. Chef Seamus Mullen — who has been using Vitamix blenders for 25 years — is also a fan, noting that even the smaller models have “a powerful motor.”

The Original NutriBullet Nutrient Extractor Blender

$70 now 11% off

$62

24 ounces | Manual | 5 by 5 by 14 inches

If you’re looking for something distinctly more affordable, or that will take up less counter or cabinet space, several experts raved about the NutriBullet. The machine comes with two cup sizes: 24 and 18 ounces. Both work for single-portion smoothies, of course (which, conveniently, you can detach from the bottom of the unit and take to go), as well as dressings and smaller-volume sauces. Bacon is a fan, calling it “the mightiest little blender.” Caitlin Sullivan, co-founder of Los Angeles restaurant Honey Hi agrees, saying “it’s affordable, so compact, and easy to clean — but it still has great blending ability.”

Ninja Professional Blender

$100 now 20% off

$80

72 ounces | Manual | 18 by 12 by 13 inches

On the opposite end of the spectrum, the Ninja is very big — not to mention the cheapest full-size option on this list. With 1,000 watts of power, it’s particularly great for juice- and smoothie-making, with an extra-large 72-ounce plastic pitcher and blades that easily crush ice and liquefy frozen fruits and vegetables. New York deputy editor Alexis Swerdloff has one and loves it. “This thing is powerful,” she says. “It’s super-easy to use and to clean.”

Vitamix 5200 Standard Blender

$550

$550

64 ounces | Manual | 20.5 by 8.75 by 7.25 inches

The First Mess’s Laura Wright swears that the Vitamix 5200 model makes the best smoothies. And she should know — not only does the writer and recipe developer make the drink every single day, but she’s tried a good handful of other machines before (Vitamixes and non-Vitamixes alike) for that job specifically. “They always come out thinner, or with foam or bubbles,” she says. “It’s almost like the blades are too powerful on some of the newer Vitamixes.” Her 5200, on the other hand, creates the optimal thick-and-creamy texture — and has done so even after a decade of use.

Beast Blender

$165

25 ounces | Manual | 4.92 by 4.92 by 15.75 inches

Strategist associate editor Louis Cheslaw was sent the Beast Blender last spring and has been turning out protein shakes consistently ever since. “Unlike the Ninja blender I was using before, it’s quiet enough that I feel comfortable using it at all hours of the day,” he says. “And even then, it’s so powerful that I rarely have it going for more than ten seconds. And while this is slightly less critical, it’s also incredibly pleasant in your hands — from the stately fluting on the portable, rinsable glass vessels to the magnetic lock when you connect it to the engine.” (For what it’s worth, Halle Berry is also a big fan.)

Zwilling Enfinigy Blender

$300

$300

61 ounces | Automatic | 7.6 by 7.6 by 16.7 inches

Zwilling’s full-size blender is one of the sleekest-looking on the market. For a generally bulky product, it has clean lines and a satisfyingly geometric shape, with a chic fluted design on the jar. It’s not all in the appearance, though: In the several months I’ve been using it, it’s also performed beautifully. The pre-programmed settings are nice to have (recently, I’ve been making use of the frozen-cocktail one, and I am also a fan of the wash button). But you can also manually control the blades with a turn of the dial and a push of the button — this feature lets me keep an eye on consistency so my emulsified dips get to the exact texture I want.

GE Immersion Blender

Various capacities | Manual | 3 by 4.5 by 15.3 inches

Although the functionality of an immersion blender is different, “for me, this is the best one — and the best blender in general,” says Richard Rea, the executive chef at the Butcher’s Daughter, who has been using one at home and one in his professional kitchen for several years. “Quite frankly, whenever people ask me what blender to use, I always push them towards this.” His reasoning is that it takes up much less space and is usually much less expensive while still doing everything you need. Indeed, Rea uses his for creamy soups, cashew ricotta, hummus, and all types of salsa. “It’s very strong,” he says of its powerful motor and sharp blades. “It breaks through nuts, and even some big, bulky blenders don’t do that.”

Which hand blender is better: video tips

Analysis of the category of hand blenders from A to Z and a selection of 6 worthy models0004 I have been repairing appliances for over 20 years. Since 2018, when I founded My Gadget, testing gadgets and keeping an eye on new devices has been my job. More than a hundred submersible and stationary blenders have passed through my hands, each of which I studied closely. With such experience, it was easy for me to formulate requirements for the best.

After studying the blender market, I selected five popular models and compared them with each other, guided by the following criteria:

  1. High power. nine0008 If the power of the blender is less than 700 W, then it will not be able to mix thick cocktails and solid foods, which makes it practically useless in a modern kitchen where a fruit smoothie is prepared with a blender and even minced meat is made.
  2. Chopper included. The blender should be versatile and be able not only to knead cottage cheese or beat the dough, but also be suitable for working with solid foods: nuts, meat or even ice. For this, a grinder must be included in the configuration. Models without chopper were not considered by us
  3. Overtemperature protection. Due to their compact size, powerful blenders can get warm and this is normal. It is not normal if such models do not have overheating protection and they burn. Therefore, blenders not protected from overheating were not taken into our rating.

To determine the winner, we used 3 tests:

  • Chopper attachment test with vegetables. We loaded a large cut of vegetables inside and checked how well the blenders are able to chop vegetables. With this test, we check the sharpness and number of turns of the knife. Poorly sharpened knives will turn vegetables into mush instead of cutting them.
  • Meat grinder test. We cut the chicken breast into large pieces and tested how well blenders can grind meat. This test will show how well the blender works with solid products and whether it has enough power for high-quality chopping of meat. nine0076

Wollmer G522 Katana became the leader. We were extremely satisfied with the test results of this model:

1 test - 4 points: In the first test, almost all frozen cherries were crushed and passed through a sieve. nine0005

Test 2 - 5 points: The vegetables on the second test were cut into small pieces and did not turn into porridge.

3 test - 4 points: The meat on the third test turned into minced meat - no worse than in a meat grinder! It can be safely used for cooking.

Total - 13 points: You can read the detailed test text by clicking on the title below.

Testing the Wollmer G522 Katana

The first test of the model put us in a positive mood. Particularly inspired by the convenient operation: two buttons and 20 speeds to choose from:

Video:

Photo:

The result is good and achieved thanks to the four bladed titanium blade. As it turned out, not a single blender is able to grind frozen cherries to such a state that its remains pass through a sieve. This made it easier for us to separate the leaders from the losers. And Wollmer was among the first.

Result - 4 points .

A confident start, but then a more pleasant surprise awaited us. Chopper test at maximum speed:

Video:

Photo:

The blender easily chopped both potatoes and carrots and then mixed them. This mixture can be easily used, for example, for frying, if you add onions there. If it needs to be brought to a homogeneous creamy mass, then there is a main nozzle that does a good job of mixing homogeneous mixtures.

Result - 5 points .

The last test was just as easy. Confident work at medium power. nine0005

Photo:

The stuffing turned out homogeneous and without any complaints. But we didn't give it five points, since this option cannot be called the best by a margin, as it was in the previous test.

Result - 4 points.

Total - 13 points .

Thus, the Wollmer G522 Katana becomes the sole leader in testing and receives the title of the best. In addition, I would like to note the rich blender package. In addition to the minimum required set, which includes a whisk, a main attachment and a chopper chopper, the G522 set includes: an ice pick, a holder-stand, a recipe book and a smoothie bottle in which you can make a drink on the road using a removable blade. block. nine0005

Users also note the high power of the blender and the quality of mixing:

This model has a very rare feature - it comes with a smoothie bottle. Since other models do not have such a bottle, we did not test it.

We consider the Wollmer G522 to be the best choice and therefore made a detailed review of this model.

The result is so-so. The contents of the bowl are something between sliced ​​\u200b\u200band porridge, into which vegetables began to turn. nine0005

Result - 3 points.

After the previous test, we did not expect anything special from the blender.

Next on our list is a blender from Philips. We expected a lot from such a technologically advanced model, but in tests it proved to be average. Brief results:

1 test - 3 points: With cherries, the test result turned out to be frankly average.

2 test - 4 points: But we were satisfied with the results of chopping vegetables in the chopper: Philips HR2655 chopped them well. nine0005

3 test - 3 points: With meat, the result was worse - the lack of precise speed control was to blame.

Total - 10 points: You can read the detailed test text by clicking on the title below.

Test Philips HR2655

We started by testing the main nozzle. Philips has a measuring cup that is much narrower than other competitors, and is equipped with a lid that allows you to take it with you.

Average result. At maximum speed, there are no problems with control.

Result - 3 points .

Then we went to the chopper and loaded the vegetables. The result turned out to be quite worthy, at the level of the leaders of the rating:

As a result, the blender still turned the vegetables into porridge, but before that it managed to grind them. If this blender had a more precise power control system, it could have done better. nine0005

Result - 4 points .

Difficulties arose with the last test, because here it was necessary to control the speed of rotation of the knives and try to keep it at average values:

It is really difficult to hold the button in the middle position, the finger constantly breaks off, which stops the engine. Therefore, the end result turned out to be ragged. Because of this, we can conclude that management is more of a hindrance than a convenient feature. nine0005

Result - 3 points .

Total - 10 points.

As a result, Philips scored only 1 point more than REDMOND, which helped him to take the final third place in the overall standings.

Despite the quality work with vegetables, users did not appreciate the work of the blender with fruits:

4th place - REDMOND RHB-2913

4th place

High power makes it easy to process solid foods on the device

Works well with meat, can make minced meat out of it for cutlets

Works poorly with frozen berries, does not grind them completely

Small equipment, suitable for working with a small amount of food

Chopper does not chop vegetables well, turning them into porridge

In fourth place is the REDMOND blender. The device comes with only the necessary minimum of accessories, and the device coped with the work mediocrely. Brief test results:

1 test - 3 points: The cherries were crushed approximately at the level of Philips

2 test - 2 points: The blender coped with vegetables in the chopper worse than all the other participants in the rating.

2 test - 4 points: The work of REDMOND with meat saved the situation. We were satisfied with the result of this test.

Total - 9 points: You can read the detailed text of the test by clicking on the title below.

Testing REDMOND RHB-2913

The beginning was rather positive. We passed the blended mixture through a sieve and washed it with water:

Much less crushed cherry pieces inside. Still imperfect, but no worse than Philips. Confident middle man.

Result - 3 points .

Testing the chopper at maximum power, REDMOND had far fewer problems. Before we go into detail about the test, take a look at it for yourself:

Video:

Photo:

The contents inside the chopper bowl also began to turn into mush before the knives chopped the vegetables, but the remaining pieces were much smaller and no longer swirled so clearly along the walls inside the nozzle. This result was the worst among all participants.

Result - 2 points .

The last test for REDMOND was to grind several pieces of chicken at medium speed. With this test, the blender had no particular problems:

The pieces of meat did not turn into porridge and turned out to be quite evenly cut. Our expert group did not have any special claims.

Result - 4 points .

Total - 9 points .

The REDMOND blender was exactly what we expected. There are not enough stars from heaven, but it is quite capable of coping with a simple task. Fourth place.

Reviews say the blender is unreliable:

5th place - Bosch MSM 88190

5th place

Large set, which has a lot of different nozzles

12 speeds suitable for working with different types of products

Poor quality of grinding frozen foods. The knife is not sharp enough for this

Chopper grinds vegetables into a porridge, skipping the even cutting step. It will not work to prepare cuts for salad

Does not work well with meat. You can make pate in it, but not minced meat for cutlets

Let's finish Bosch, which frankly disappointed us, although we had high hopes for it. Rich equipment and a large number of positive reviews promised an interesting device. The reality turned out to be much more prosaic. Brief test results:

1 test - 2 points: Frozen cherries were not crushed completely.

2 test - 3 points: The vegetables in the chopper turned into a mushy mass.

3 test - 3 points: The same thing happened with meat.

Total - 7 points: You can find the detailed text of the test by clicking on the title below.

Testing Bosch MSM 88190

First of all, we tested the operation of the main submersible nozzle: we added cherries, chopped bananas to a glass and poured it all with milk. A simple smoothie recipe that no device should have trouble mixing. The main difficulty is frozen cherries and their peel. We checked the success of the test by how much of it remains after 30 seconds of work:

The result is depressing. At the bottom of the sieve was a huge amount of unground cherries. We thought that it was the products, but the results of the other participants in the rating convinced us.

Result - 2 points .

After the immersion part, we moved on to checking the operation of the chopper. First loaded inside raw peeled potatoes and carrots. The task of the blender was to chop the vegetables into crumbs. For objectivity, we gave all blenders 10 seconds at maximum speed:

Video:

As you can see, some of the vegetables began to turn into porridge even before the Bosch blender chopped the contents. In the video, it is easy to see the potato pieces wandering along the wall while the chopper is running.

Result - 3 points.

After learning about the capabilities of the blender at maximum power, we decided to test how the blender copes with the grinding of denser products at lower power. Therefore, we set the average speed and scrolled through several pieces of chicken breast for 20 seconds:

Video:

Photo:

The minced meat also quickly began to turn into an unpleasant creamy mass, while the difference between the maximum and average speed is insignificant. The blender almost always runs around the advertised 800 watts.

Result - 3 points.

Total - 7 points.

Based on the test results, we left the Bosch MSM 88190 in last place. A large package is designed, rather, to hide flaws in the design of the blender, rather than expand its functionality. nine0852 Plastic chopper blade

will do

Philips HR2655

We appreciated the must-have features for a good immersion blender in the kitchen - the ability to mix a homogeneous mass with a immersion attachment and finely grind different types of food with a chopper. Now we know which immersion blender is better to choose for the home. nine0005

During testing, we found that adjusting the speed of rotation of the blades by pressing the button is an extremely inconvenient feature. And impressive equipment can serve to cover up other shortcomings of the blender, as happened with Bosch.
