an intuitive control panel and excellent versatility. This helpful kitchen appliance has become a staple in my own home — I love the convenience of pureeing vegetable soups, whipping up silky-smooth frozen cocktails or blending homemade nut milk in just minutes.

I also appreciate models with multiple settings and presets, as they eliminate the guesswork. As a Kitchen Appliances Reviews Analyst, I've tested almost 100 blenders in the Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab in the last three and a half years. I ground pounds of coffee beans, blended countless frozen strawberries into smoothies and pulverized hundreds of ice cubes into frozen margaritas to test how powerful and evenly they can blend. And not just full-sized blenders — my team and I have tested portable blenders. Each full-sized blender has undergone over nine tests; only top-performing blenders have made this list.
