9 Best Blenders of 2024 [Tested and Reviewed]

The Vita-mix blender is great for those who want to enjoy smoothies and frozen drinks with a smooth texture. The dial allows for speed adjustment, making it easy to achieve a smoother finish when desired.

When we made a smoothie with it, the operational noise was quite loud at 88dB. However, regarding texture, testers praised it, saying, "All the drinks felt smooth in my mouth, and there was almost no pulp or feeling of leftover fibers from the vegetables." Despite having a small flat blade, it mixes ingredients thoroughly. It also handles ice well, leaving hardly any frozen fruit chunks in frozen drinks, making it great for summer drinks or desserts.

On the downside, none of the parts are dishwasher-safe. Even so, maintenance is not too cumbersome. It doesn't have gaskets you need to remove and has a semi-self-cleaning function: You just add water and detergent and run it for a cycle. We think this blender is perfect for those who want to enjoy well-blended smoothies.

Breville's The Fresh and Furious® Blender BBL620 offers modes for Smoothie, Green Smoothie, and Ice Crush. With a choice of 9 colors, it easily complements your kitchen or decor.

The smoothies it produces are velvety and devoid of vegetable bitterness, ensuring an enjoyable experience without the need to chew. This applies to frozen drinks too, as it avoids leaving chunks of frozen strawberry flesh, providing a pleasant drinking experience.

Cleaning is hassle-free with its dishwasher compatibility. However, the gaskets can be slightly thin and challenging to remove, requiring a tool for those with larger hands. Despite the 77.5 dB noise level, the blender's exceptional smoothie and frozen drink quality surpasses the sound concern.

If prioritizing end result quality, this blender ensures satisfaction.

The NINJA Compact Kitchen System with Auto-iQ AMZ493BRN by SharkNinja Operating includes a full-size blender, compact blender, and a food processor. Sharing the same base unit, it occupies less space than purchasing three separate appliances.

The smoothie retained a few fruit bits but remained drinkable without chewing, yielding a satisfactory result. The finished frozen drink had no chunks of strawberries, indicating it had been thoroughly blended.

In terms of ease of maintenance, it has received high ratings. The blade and bottle can be disassembled, ensuring thorough washing, and all parts are dishwasher-safe. Also, the lack of gaskets eliminates the hassle of cleaning them, which is a nice feature. However, please note that the operational noise registers slightly loud at 74.4 dB, so exercise caution regarding its usage times.

Compared to the top two products, this smoothie maker may be slightly inferior in its finish, but it’s dishwasher-safe and can be disassembled. It's a product well-suited for those who prioritize ease of maintenance.

The NINJA Professional Blender 1000 BL610 from SharkNinja Operating allows for speed adjustment in three stages: LOW, MED, and HIGH. The blender is equipped with a non-slip bottom, providing the assurance of minimal movement due to vibrations during operation. The completed smoothies offer a velvety texture without any lingering bitterness from the vegetables. However, some testers have reported detecting a grainy texture in apple-infused blends. The finishing touch on frozen drinks is notably smooth, swiftly melting in the mouth.

With the blades and bottle easily disassembled and dishwasher-safe, it excels in maintainability tests, suggesting a hassle-free cleaning process after use. Despite its impressive features, the operational noise reaches a relatively loud 78.2 dB, urging users to be mindful of timing during use.

The PowerCrush Multi-Function Blender BL1220SG from BLACK+DECKER features a pouring spout and ingredient insertion slot in the pitcher lid. The ingredient insertion function enables adding food while blending.

The resulting smoothie has a thick finish that might be a bit hard to swallow. Because of its small blades, the blender struggles to fully blend ingredients, leaving behind vegetable fibers and fruit chunks. On the other hand, it does well with frozen drinks, like ones made with frozen strawberries, delivering a pleasant texture.

The product received high marks for its ease of cleaning. The blade and bottle can be disassembled and are dishwasher-safe, enabling thorough and easy cleaning with minimal effort. Moreover, the lack of a gasket reduces the number of parts that need cleaning, enhancing the product's appeal. However, the operating noise level is fairly high at 79.9 dB, so it's recommended to avoid using it at night.

The Oster Versa Pro Series Professional Blender BLSTVB-RV0-000 by Newell Brands offers adjustable speed, a variable speed dial, and modes for various recipes. Vegetables and fruits blend smoothly, making for ease of swallowing. However, the occasional apple grains may require prolonged blending to prevent having to chew them, so for those wanting a smoother smoothie, we suggest extending the blending time. Frozen drinks received high praise for their smooth texture without large strawberry chunks.

The blender's positive feature is hassle-free gasket removal. However, it's not dishwasher-safe, posing a concern for those preferring quick cleaning. Hand-washing may be time-consuming, so it's recommended for leisurely use. The somewhat high operating noise at 76.7dB suggests limited usage time.

The Conair Cuisinart Duet Blender/Food Processor BFP-703BC combines a mixer and food processor in one, as the name suggests. The blender’s pitcher lid includes a removable 2 oz measuring cap. Due to small blades, it struggles to fully blend fruits and veggies, resulting in a low smoothie score. Drinking it may cause fibers and particles to stick in your throat.. On the other hand, for frozen drinks, refreshing strawberry crunch finish can be enjoyed.

In terms of ease of cleaning, it scored highly. As the blades and bottle can be removed and washed in the dishwasher, it can be cleaned thoroughly. However, be aware that the gasket has little projection, and it's hard to remove without using a slender tool. The operational noise is 77.6dB, which is quite loud, and not suitable for use at night.

The Power Elite Blender 58148A from Hamilton Beach features a pouring spout on the pitcher lid, making it easy to pour into a glass without any spills or drips. The power cord neatly stores on the main body's bottom.

The smoothies it produces are chunky, requiring some chewing, and feedback from reviews suggests "the texture is so coarse, it's more like eating than drinking." It does get praise for its ease of cleaning, as the blade and bottle are dishwasher-safe and can be dismantled. Notably, it lacks a gasket, enhancing maintenance simplicity. However, its small blades may necessitate adjustments like prolonging operation time for a smoother drink.

Despite its cleaning convenience, the rather high operating noise at 74.9 dB may be a drawback and we suggest refraining from using it at night.
