New blenders on the market
7 Best Blenders to Buy in 2023, According to Expert Testing
We carefully reviewed this story in January 2023 and stand by our picks selected by the Good Housekeeping Institute. We updated the prices of each blender to reflect any changes in sale prices.
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 2023, according to extensive testing and in-home use by Good Housekeeping experts.

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.

Vitamix A3500 | TechRadar
TechRadar Verdict
The Vitamix A3500 will blend almost anything you throw at it, it excels at larger quantities but struggled when we tried a very small mayo recipe and it didn’t have the finesse to produce evenly chopped nuts. That said if you’re looking for serious blending power and a strong and sturdy machine, look no further, it can crush ice in the blink of an eye and produces silky smooth smoothies. But it’s a big, heavy blender with an expensive price tag.
Pros
- +
Powerful motor pulverizes most foods
- +
Dishwasher safe accessories
- +
Five auto settings as well as variable speed control

30-second review
Vitamix is a trusted US company specializing in blenders and there are plenty of models to choose from. The Ascent series is the most feature-rich range from Vitamix, with the A3500 sitting at the expensive end of the brand’s offering.
As a top-of-the-range blender, the Vitamix A3500 is expensive and is aimed at serious blending enthusiasts. But for the money, you’ll get a robust powerful blender that’s built to last.

Performance
Should I buy?
It comes with a large 64-ounce/2-liter jug and there are plenty of compatible accessories available, but you will have to purchase these separately. It has all the features you’d expect, as well as technology that detects what container you’re using and adjusts its settings accordingly. On top of that, you can connect this blender to your WiFi network and use the accompanying app to access recipes and blending tips.
Vitamix A3500 price and availability
- List price: $649.95/ £675/ AUS $1,545
The Vitamix A3500 is available from the Vitamix website, but in the UK and Australia is called the A3500i.
This is an expensive blender, but it’s a top-of-the-range model by a manufacturer renowned for its blenders.
- 10 variable speed levels
- Auto programs
- Programmable timer
The Vitamix A3500 has quite a boxy, almost industrial styling that looks most at home in a modern kitchen. In the US, there are six color options - four are metallic and there’s also a choice of red or white, though in Australia the A3500 comes in just black or brushed stainless steel, while in the UK it just comes in brushed stainless steel.
As blenders go, it’s chunky and while the footprint on your countertop isn’t huge in comparison to other appliances, it is very tall so may not slide back underneath wall-mounted cabinets, but if it does you’ll probably have to pull it forward to get the lid off. It measures 11 inches / 20.3 cm x 8 inches / 28 cm x 17 inches / 43.2 cm (w x d x h), and it weighs in at almost 15lb/ 8.3kg which is something to keep in mind if you want to store it in a cupboard and get it out each time you need to use it.
It comes with a dishwasher safe 64-ounce/2-liter jug – one of the largest capacity blending jugs we’ve seen and there’s a tamper accessory that can be used to move ingredients around in the jug during blending. You’ll also get a hardback recipe book, ‘Simply Blending’ which has plenty of useful sweet and savory recipes and includes helpful blender settings for each recipe as well as tips on the best order to add ingredients. On the Vitamix website, you’ll also find plenty of optional accessories available to purchase separately such as blending bowls and blending cups. If you purchase any accessories, the blender will automatically detect which accessory you’re using and adjust settings for optimal performance.
The touch screen interface is simple to use and the dial has ten variable speed levels as well as a pulse function, which gives you plenty of control. The programmable timer allows you to set a blending duration, after which the blender will automatically switch off, allowing you to walk away while it blends. Additionally, there are five auto programs: smoothies, frozen desserts, soups, dips and spreads, and self-cleaning.

- Crushed ice with ease
- Completely liquidized all smoothie ingredients
- Blades don’t reach low enough to mix small quantities
We found the Vitamix A3500 blender very easy to assemble, simple to use and when it gets going there’s no denying it’s powerful. We tried the auto smoothie program to make a smoothie containing spinach, pineapple, banana, apple juice, and yogurt. These ingredients were completely turned to liquid by this powerful blender and at 84dB, the noise level was comparable to other blenders we’ve tested such as the Nutribullet Blender Combo. The smoothie had absolutely no unblended pieces, not even any tiny specs of spinach or fibrous pineapple strands remained, it was completely smooth and lightly aerated. There were no pieces stuck under the blades or around the jug either.
There’s no auto ice crush setting, but despite this, the A3500 crushed ice cubes quickly and evenly on just level 2 of the manual speed settings. We also filled it to maximum capacity with water and blended at top speed, and reassuringly, no water leaked from any part of the jug or the lid.
(Image credit: Future)We tried chopping hazelnuts in the blender, but the results were a little uneven; a mixture of powder and chopped nuts – but it should be noted that most blenders we’ve tested have struggled to chop nuts to an even consistency.
When it came to making a small quantity of mayonnaise, the blades didn’t reach low enough to blend together two egg yolks with 10ml of vinegar, so we had to double the recipe, which isn’t ideal if you only want a small amount. Having said that, once the recipe was doubled we were able to make a thick glossy, nicely emulsified mayo, but when pouring in oil during blending, it does splash quite a bit out of the lid plug.
We used the auto cleaning cycle to remove the worst of the oily mayo residues from the jug and found it’s simple to use - all you have to do is add water and dish soap to the blender. The program removed most of the mayo, but as it’s very oily we still had to give it another wash in the sink. The jug is also dishwasher safe, so cleaning isn’t a problem.
Should I buy the Vitamix A3500?
Buy it if…
You want to blend large quantities
The large 64 oz/ 2-liter jug is a great size and will be big enough for most domestic blending needs.
You want a powerful blender to tackle almost any food
This blender excels at completely liquidizing even tough and fibrous foods.
You want to be able to press start, then walk away
With a choice of auto programs and a programmable timer, you can press start, safe in the knowledge that it will stop blending within a set time.
Don’t buy it if…
You want a basic budget model
This top of the range model is far from a budget option and it’s probably not worth the cash if you just want to blend the occasional smoothie.
You want a model that comes with lots of personal cups and accessories as standard
This model only comes with the large jug as part of the standard package and all other accessories will come at an additional cost. UK consumers can look at the A3500i Anniversary Collection which is the same as this model but with lots of additional accessories.
You want a lightweight blender
This blender is heavy, if you want to keep it in a cupboard, some people will find it a struggle to lift in and out of the cupboard each time.

Which hand blender is better (video tips)
Analysis of the category of hand blenders from A to Z and a selection of 6 worthy modelsHow to choose a hand blender (3 criteria) Antonrin and former chief
My GadgetI 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 to each other, guided by the following criteria:
- High power. 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.
- 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
- 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.

place | Model | Total score | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Wollmer G522 KATANA | |||
5 | BOSCH MSM 88190 | 7 | Bleader with a solid configuration, which failed in all tests |
To determine the winner, we used 3 tests:
- 9007 gender. We kneaded a mix of milk, frozen cherries and chopped banana, then passed the resulting mixture through a sieve and compared the leftovers. This will allow us to understand the quality of the main nozzle and whether the declared power corresponds to reality
- 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.

In second place was a blender from Braun. We were skeptical about adjusting the speed by pressing force. Summary of test results:
1 test - 5 points: Almost all the cherries were crushed with the main nozzle.
2 test - 3 points: Further, the performance of the Braun MQ 9027X went downhill - the result of the test with vegetables was quite average.

Total - 11 points: You can read the detailed text of the test by clicking on the heading below.
Testing the Braun MQ 9027X
The first thing we did was test the main nozzle. We found the speed control by pressing to be not very convenient. Especially if you want to include not the maximum speed.

Since we were testing at maximum speed, the result turned out to be appropriate - very good. The blender showed a quality comparable to the leader. nine0005
Result - 5 points .
The first disappointment awaited us. The chopper bowl of this blender is significantly smaller than the competition, so we had to load fewer vegetables into it. But for the purity of the experiment, we kept the large cut:

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.

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:
Video:

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:
Video:
Photo:
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:

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

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:

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:

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

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.
