Pros: Reasonable price, easy-to-use buttons, large capacity
Cons: Takes up a good amount of space, loud
Bottom Line: The Ninja Professional Blender is the perfect mix of affordability and high performance.
This is our pick for the best quality blender that
can power through smoothies, sauces, soups, and even make homemade nut
butters — without breaking the bank.
It
features a powerful and efficient 1,000-watt performance, with six
chopping blades that shred through fruits and vegetables and turn ice
into snow in just seconds. Simple and easy-to-use buttons allow you to
cycle between low, medium, and high speeds, and the pulse button makes
it easy to pulverize small bits. Plus, a large pour spout is perfect for
serving blended drinks without causing a complete mess on your counter.

Pros: Inexpensive, easy to use
Cons: Takes up a lot of space, pricey, loud
Bottom Line: This is a great budget option that'll get the job done.
This 700-watt blender is a super affordable pick
that'll do the trick when it comes to everything from soft purees to
frozen fruits. Though it won't blend as smoothly as, say, the Vitamix
below, it'll absolutely work for your basic blending needs.
It
has 12 blending functions, including mix, puree, dice, and grind —
great for making chunky salsas and sauces. The 40-ounce glass jar is
sturdy and hard to break, and the no-mess pouring spout features a
hinged top that keeps it from dripping.

Bottom Line: If you're just stocking your kitchen for the first
time, or in need of a totally new set of appliances, this set contains
all your basics.
Yes, we've got quite a
few of the Ninja blenders on this list — and no, it's not sponsored by
them! The brand just makes really great blenders at extremely reasonable
price points, and we don't shy away from acknowledging it.
The
Ninja Mega Kitchen System has a 1,500-watt base that powers through
frozen fruits and ice with ease, but what makes it especially worth
investing in is the fact that it also comes with single-serve cups
(similar to the NutriBullet ones) for small-batch blending, as well as a
food processor attachment that's perfect for chopping and grinding (as
opposed to completely pulverizing). The pitcher is also a whopping 72
ounces — enough to make a giant batch of margaritas!
