But the trick is to find a model that, on top of being efficient and thorough (no-one wants a lump of banana lurking in their smoothie), suits the size and demands of your kitchen, and isn’t so loud as to draw complaints from the neighbours.
Not just reserved for staples like smoothies and soup, blenders are more versatile than they first appear; they can be used to make <a href="/recipes/three-minute-blender-banana-pancakes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">three-minute blender banana pancakes</a>, <a href="/recipes/herby-yogurt-dressing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">herby yogurt dressing</a>, and <a href="/recipes/sunflower-butter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sunflower butter</a>. Get the blender out next time you’re entertaining and make <a href="/recipes/frozen-margarita" target="_blank" rel="noopener">frozen margaritas</a> and <a href="/recipes/raspberry-lemonade-slushies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">raspberry lemonade slushies</a>.
We’ve tested over 30 blenders in all, from the basic and budget to the ultra high-tech, blitzing a <a href="/recipes/super-berry-smoothie" target="_blank" rel="noopener">super berry smoothie</a> with large chunks of frozen fruit, and then a <a href="/recipes/homemade-tomato-sauce" target="_blank" rel="noopener">homemade tomato sauce</a>. Overall, we were looking for models that could efficiently and effectively blitz our vegetable mix into a glossy smoothie, without any leftover lumps. We also took the blender’s size, ease of use, jug, volume, design, speed and functionality into consideration. Read on for our recommendations.

Nutribullet is a big name in the world of blenders, and this model is a great pick for anyone wanting to blitz large batches of ingredients. Its tall, wide build makes it less ideal for smaller kitchens, but it’s also attractive enough that we wouldn’t mind making it a permanent fixture on the worktop.
We thought everything about the design felt very user-friendly. It has a brightly lit display and all the settings are clearly labelled – with four speeds to choose from (pulse, low, medium and high), plus presets for frozen drinks, smoothies, soups and purées. The handle around the 1.85-litre jug also has a comfortable, sturdy grip.
It took just under a minute to whip up three portions of our smoothie recipe, and it did a fantastic job cutting through the berry seeds – giving us smooth results without any lumps. Be prepared for the fact it generates a lot of noise, but otherwise this is a top-notch piece kit that feels built to last.

Best portable blender
Pros:
<ul>
<li>Easy to transport</li>
<li>Cordless</li>
<li>Good-looking</li>
<li>Produces smooth results</li>
<li>Runs quietly</li>
</ul>
Cons:
<ul>
<li>Very short charging cable</li>
<li>No plug included</li>
</ul>
Star rating: 5/5
Wattage: 14.4W
This powerful cordless gadget makes light work of blitzing and blending on the go. Included in the box is a USB-C rechargeable motor base and charging cord, a 530ml blending cup, a sip lid with a handle, a cup cover, and a blade cover. The cup and lid are also dishwasher-safe.
It needs to be charged for at least two hours before first use, and you’ll need your own USB plug or a multi-port hub to connect it to the mains. We’d advise holding on to the manual, as it contains key information on what each colour means (a flashing orange light around the start/stop button, for instance, means the blades are blocked).
It has an automatic run time of 30 seconds, and in our test the results were smooth and consistent. The sip lid is designed to be leak-proof, too, so you can pop it in your bag without worry.

Best blender for keeping on the countertop 
Pros: 
<ul>
<li>Glass blender jug</li>
<li>Self-clean setting</li>
<li>Jug hand loads for left- and right-handed people</li>
</ul>
Cons:
<ul>
<li>Heavy to manoeuvre</li>
<li>Confusing pause before starting its speed settings</li>
<li>Short flex cord</li>
</ul>
Star rating: 5/5
Wattage: 1200W
This 1500ml KitchenAid is one for the countertop, elegantly rounded with non-slip feet and a good deal of heft that frankly, makes it impractical to move every time, so this would be a permanent addition to your countertop. This is in part down to the weighty glass jug that lifts on and off and as a nice touch, the handle can be set on the left or right depending which works best for you.
The jug is also notched with helpful ml and oz measurements for weighing directly into the jug to save on washing-up. It’s also dishwasher-safe on the top shelf and, and in test, didn’t hold any colour or smell of tomato after blending sauce. <span data-sheets-value='{"1":2,"2":"The blades are ready loaded and secured which is a pro from a safety perspective."}’ data-sheets-userformat='{"2":4669,"3":{"1":0},"5":{"1":[{"1":2,"2":0,"5":[null,2,16777215]},{"1":0,"2":0,"3":3},{"1":1,"2":0,"4":1}]},"6":{"1":[{"1":2,"2":0,"5":[null,2,16777215]},{"1":0,"2":0,"3":3},{"1":1,"2":0,"4":1}]},"7":{"1":[{"1":2,"2":0,"5":[null,2,16777215]},{"1":0,"2":0,"3":3},{"1":1,"2":0,"4":1}]},"8":{"1":[{"1":2,"2":0,"5":[null,2,16777215]},{"1":0,"2":0,"3":3},{"1":1,"2":0,"4":1}]},"12":0,"15":"Ubuntu"}’>The blades are ready-loaded and secured, which is a pro from a safety perspective.

This Sage blender’s USP is its extra-quiet credentials, with the brand going so far as to patent the technology. Sage specialises in this kind of pioneering functionality, and we felt the Super Q lives up to expectations.
It has all the makings of a professional-level piece of kit, but has been designed with the home user in mind: simple pre-set functions, an in-built timer, handy tools for scraping down the jug, a personal blending cup attachment and more. Most importantly, we found the blitzing results were excellent.

A touch more modern than some of Smeg’s other appliances, this blender is boxy but sleek. There are buttons across the top and a large dial on the front, which lights up brightly and allows you to control the speed (on a scale of one to nine).
You can run it manually, but to guarantee the best results there are also four presets: smoothie, green smoothie, frozen dessert or ice crush, plus single-serve and family-serve (three portions) – each of which determines how many seconds the blender runs for. There are extra accessories, too, including a vacuum pump, (to preserve nutrients, colours and flavours), a tamper, spatula, and cleaning brush.
Where this blender scored lowest was sustainability – there was a lot of plastic packaging, and we struggled to find any details on spare parts or recycling in the manual. We also found it very noisy in use, but it did achieve impressively smooth results.

Best blender with a grinder attachment
Pros:
<ul>
<li>Blades remove for thorough cleaning</li>
<li>Aromas don’t linger in the spice grinder</li>
</ul>
Cons:
<ul>
<li>Glass jug is heavy</li>
<li>Still operates without lid in place</li>
</ul>
Star rating: 4.5/5
Wattage: 1200W
Considering its budget-friendly price, this Lakeland blender has a lot to offer. Not only do you get a sturdy stainless-steel blender with a 1.5 litre glass jug, but there’s also a large stainless-steel grinder for grinding anything from seeds to spices or coffee beans.
The blender copes well with tough ingredients like ice and fibrous vegetables, but we had to give it a few stirs when blending a very thick smoothie mixture. The grinder is fast and effective though, with a large capacity and plenty of blending speeds to choose from.
On the downside, the lights on the front don’t switch off automatically and none of the accessories can go in the dishwasher. It’s worth noting that there isn’t a safety feature to stop the blades if the lid is off. Having said that, this is a great value multipurpose blender.

What this sleek-looking blender lacks in multiple functions it makes up for in solid performance and ease of use. It functions as well as more expensive models on the market, so much so it blitzed our tester smoothie so thoroughly you could be forgiven for thinking the drink had been made in a juicer, rather than a blender. It is compact, sturdy, leak-proof and gets a big thumbs-up on the value for money front.

There’s no denying this blender is an expensive investment, but it comes laden with so many functions that you could considerably scale down the number of appliances you have to make way for it. This model’s extensive repertoire also covers drinks, sauces, dips, spreads, soups, batters, dough, baby food and desserts, all using the same blades and jug. As you’d expect from a brand often used in professional kitchens, we found it creates an impressively blended and well-mixed smoothie.

Best jug blender
Pros:
<ul>
<li>Plenty of speed options</li>
<li>Lid must be in position to switch on</li>
<li>Available in two colours</li>
</ul>
Cons:
<ul>
<li>Backlit display isn’t very clear</li>
<li>Handle can only be placed to right side</li>
</ul>
Star rating: 4/5
Wattage: 1200W
The Zwilling Enfinigy table blender is up there with some of the pricier blenders on this list. But what you get for the money is a capable all-round blender that offers ample speeds as well as three blending programmes and a self-clean programme. The serrated blade blitzed through all of our test foods with ease, but if you’re looking for a blender that can handle big batches of soup, this 1.4 litre jug might be too small.
It’s a sleek and streamlined blender that matches several other appliances in the Enfinigy range. We thought the controls were simple to use, and liked that it doesn’t switch on until the lid is firmly locked into position – a great safety feature. On balance though, we were disappointed with the clarity of the backlit display and that the jug can’t go in the dishwasher.

<h2><a id="choose"></a>How to choose the best blender</h2>
<h3>What is a blender?</h3>
Stand blenders come in all different shapes and sizes with a range of specifications and price points, so it’s best to evaluate the overall demands of your lifestyle and kitchen, and also the space you have available. Some of the more advanced machines tend to be bulkier and heavier, with larger jugs and stands.
<h3>What to look for in a blender</h3>
<ul>
<li>Pulse function</li>
<li>Variety of speed settings</li>
<li>BPA-free plastic or glass jug</li>
<li>Measurement notches on the jug</li>
<li>Self-clean function</li>
<li>Auto shut-off in case of overheating</li>
<li>Plunger</li>
<li>Pouring spout</li>
<li>Individual smoothie cup with a sealed lid</li>
</ul>
<h3>What can you use a blender for?</h3>
It’s worth identifying whether you need a straightforward blender, purely for the sake of blending smoothies and soups, or whether you’d like additional functions such as ice crushing, the ability to blend hot ingredients, or the power to pulse ingredients such as nuts and seeds.
Finally, if you’re short on time, and looking to save on the washing-up, it may be worth looking for a device that comes with its own to-go cup which you can blend smoothies directly into – you can find these at different price points, depending on your budget.
<h2><a id="how"></a>How we tested blenders</h2>
We tested nearly 30 blenders overall, from the basic and budget to the high-tech, using the same smoothie concoction (1 beetroot, ⅓ carrot, handful kale and 500ml water) to test the blenders’ ability to handle tough and fibrous ingredients.
We also tested them by making a <a href="/recipes/super-berry-smoothie" target="_blank" rel="noopener">super berry smoothie</a> with frozen fruits to determine the overall quality and effectiveness of the blender with icy lumps and its all-important blade. <a href="/recipes/homemade-tomato-sauce" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tomato sauce</a> has the ability to stain containers, so we also assessed each blender on how easily we could clean away those red stains and lingering smells.
<ul>
<li>Blade strength: Could the blade easily blend our smoothie mix without struggling?</li>
<li>Speed of blitzing: How quickly and efficiently did the smoothie blend?</li>
<li>Ease of use: Was the blender easy to set up, put together, take apart and clean? Was it straightforward?</li>
<li>The jug: How heavy and durable was the jug? Was it shatter-resistant? Plastic or glass? If plastic, was it BPA-free?</li>
<li>Safety: Does it come with a safety lock? How tightly does the lid fit?</li>
<li>Loudness: All blenders generate noise, but were there any that were quieter or louder than others?</li>
<li>Functions: How many speed settings? On top of blending, are there any other functions, such as pulse, crushing ice etc? Any pre-set functions to make things such as soups and smoothies? Auto-clean?</li>
<li>Results: How well blended was the smoothie? Any lumpy bits leftover, or was it completely smooth?</li>
<li>Design and aesthetic: Is it well designed or bulky? How much space does it take up on the counter? Does it justify its size? Does it pack away easily in a cupboard?</li>
<li>Packaging: Is it well-packed, or does it come with excess packaging etc?</li>
</ul>
