Top 10 High Speed Blenders
for October 2023

The Countertop Smoothie Blender from Ninja has all of the power, features, and ease of use that we have come to expect from Ninja blenders. It's also very reasonably priced. The stainless steel blade base is durable and bullet-proof, and the 2L blender jug is large and dishwasher safe. The jug also has two cups, so you can use the jug for blending and stash the second cup in the base, so the second cup won't be dirty when you return from the first cup. The blender has 6 blades, which spins at 1800W, which is a bit more powerful than other blenders we tested. The blender's 3 pre-programmed settings allow you to simply push a button and walk away, and the blender will automatically stop and start when you press a button again. The settings include Smoothie, Ice Crush, and Normal. The Smoothie setting is for blending softer ingredients, such as fruits, and the ice crush setting is for crushing ice. The Normal setting is for everything else. The blender's variable speed control is adjustable, so you can increase or decrease the blending speed as needed. The blender's blades are specially designed to create vortexes, which helps the blender produce smoother smoothies. The blender has a cleaning function, which cleans the blender's motor and blades. The blender comes with one year warranty.

The KitchenAid Professional Blender is a high-quality and powerful blender that can easily handle all your blending needs. It has a more powerful motor and 6 blades than other blenders we tested. It's a powerful juicer and blender that can easily crush ice, making smoothies, making almond milk, making margaritas, crushing ice, making fresh juice, and making hot soup. And the 32000 RPM powerful motor can crush ice easily. The 6 blades are long enough to crush ingredients from fruits and vegetables to nuts and seeds. The blender comes with an extra large 64 oz container, so you can make enough smoothies, juices, and soups for the whole family. The blender is both easy to use and clean. This blender also comes with a 32 oz personal travel cup, a 64 oz blender cup, and both cups are dishwasher safe. The blender comes with a 60 day money back guarantee, and a 2 year manufacturer's warranty.

The NutriBullet Pro is more powerful and versatile than the original, yet it's much easier to use. It comes standard with 18 pieces, including 2 Nutri Ninja cups, 2 to-go lids, 2 lip rings, and 2 extractor blades. (We love these cups, which screw onto the extractor blades to make drinking smoothies a breeze.) The Pro also includes 2 recipe books, one with 30 recipes and the other with 10 family-friendly recipes. The 900-watt motor is more powerful than the original, and it now comes with 4 cups instead of a 2-cup model. The extractor blades are softer and more powerful than before, so they'll blend up even the toughest greens and fibrous fruits. (They also do a better job extracting nutrients.) The Pro also comes standard with a 900-watt motor base, which makes it easy to add a second motor base if you need more power or to prepare bigger batches.

The blender's powerful 2200-watt motor is strong enough for fine tasks, such as whipping up salad dressings or crushing ice. The blender's 70-ounce container is the perfect size for making large batches of smoothies or milkshakes. The blender's control dial is very easy to use, and the timer control feature makes short work of making smoothies or milkshakes for a group. The blender has a sturdy base, and peanuts, ice cubes, and whole fruits and vegetables fit easily into the container. The blender's parts are dishwasher-safe and easy to clean, and it comes with a cleaning brush. The blender's motor has a overload protection feature, which prevents the motor from overheating. The blender's motor base is detachable, so cleanup is quick and easy. The blender comes with a tamper, but it's a bit small for crushing ice. The tamper also doesn't work for crushing frozen fruit. The blender's pause control switch doesn't work. The blender's lid works well, but we wish the lid would lock. The blender comes with two sports cups, but we found the cups a bit small for smoothies.

This blender is lightweight, highly portable, and powerful enough to whip up smoothies and milkshakes with the push of a button. The blades are strong enough to crush ice and break up frozen fruit, but they're not so strong that it's difficult to blend. The 14oz cup is big enough for two smoothies or one milkshake, and the smaller 35oz cup is big enough for a pint of milk. The blender comes with two sealed 35oz and 14oz cups, two lids, and a travel lid. The cups are small enough to fit in most car cup holders, and the lids are tight enough to seal the cups tightly, so they're easy to pack. The cups are also stackable, so you can easily fit them into a bag or a backpack. The blender comes with a 120V AC power adapter and a manual, but it won't power on without powering it through the USB adapter. The manual provides helpful instructions, but it's in Japanese. The blender is easy to use, and it produces smoothies and milkshakes quickly.

The Blendtec Designer Series 1450W Blender is our favorite blender for smoothies, and it's the only blender we've tested that's powerful enough to pulverize ice. It has 10 speeds, from low to high, and retracts the head and blade when not in use, making it easy to use and clean. The 1450W motor is the most powerful we tested, and it's the quietest. The blender comes with one 68-ounce Tritan jar, and it's only $50 more for two more 40-ounce jars. The jars are made of durable, BPA-free Tritan, and they can be washed in the dishwasher. The blender's 10-speed settings are clearly marked on the control knob, and you can choose between low, medium, high, and pulse. The blender's full 1450-watt motor is more than powerful enough to pulverize ice, and we found that it blended ice into slush in 12 seconds. The blender's 10-speed settings range from low to very high, and you can set the speed using the control knob. The blender also comes with a timer, which you can set for up to 90 seconds, and an alarm, which you can set for up to 30 minutes. The blender's control knob has a grippy silicone handle, and the head has 10 blades that rotate at 300 rpm. The blender has a safety interlock that detects when the motor has been overloaded, and the blender also automatically powers down after 60 minutes of inactivity. The blender is easy to control, and it comes with 4 preset programs: smoothie, frozen dessert, ice crushing, and puree. The blender's 4 preset programs make it easy to prepare smoothies, frozen desserts, and soups. The blender also comes with a recipe book, and you can download more recipes from the Blendtec website. The blender's 4 preset programs make it easy to prepare smoothies, frozen desserts, and soups. The blender comes with a 1-year warranty.

This mid-range countertop blender is a reasonably priced, high-quality option for anyone who lives alone, has small household, or doesn't use a blender very often. It has six blades, making it powerful enough to handle most ingredients, and it also has a decent enough capacity to handle making larger batches. The 51 oz. glass jar is large, and it's also safe for use with hot liquids. The blender also has a pulse function, so you can easily add ingredients or blend them more thoroughly. The blender is a little loud, though, and the plastic base it comes with isn't as solid as the one we reviewed in our top pick. This is a solid, reliable blender, and it's a good choice for someone who doesn't use a blender very often.

The NutriBullet NBR-1201 is our favorite blender for smoothie-making, thanks to its surprisingly powerful motor and robust, sharp blades. The NBR-1201's motor is more powerful than the NBR-710's, and the NBR-1201's blades are sharper, too. The NBR-1201's blender cup is slightly smaller at 1.75 liters, but it holds more, so you can make bigger smoothies. The NBR-1101's blender cup is 2.0 liters, which can hold more liquid, but creates a narrower, taller drink, which is less convenient for drinking out of the cup. The controls on the NBR-1201 are intuitive, and the speed dial allows you to choose the perfect blend for your favorite smoothie. The NBR-1201 comes with 12 cups, which is enough to provide several servings of smoothie per day, but the NBR-101 comes with only 4 cups. The NutriBullet NBR-1201 also comes with a 20-ounce travel cup, which is perfect for taking smoothie on the go.

This powerful, professional-grade blender is everything you need in a countertop kitchen appliance. It not only blends smoothies and soups, but can also make flour and nut milks, which the Oster and Ninja blenders we tested couldn't do. The JAWZ has a powerful motor, and its stainless steel blades can chop through ice and frozen fruit with no problem. It also has a powerful 2-speed toggle switch, so whether you need to blend ice or fibrous vegetables, this blender can do it all. The JAWZ's control panel is compact, and it has a 99 second count up timer, so you can easily time your blending. Its 64-ounce pitcher has enough capacity for large batches, and its rubbery, textured grips make it easy to hold. The only drawback is that it can only run on 120V, so you may need an adapter to use it in a 220V country.

If you're a health-minded person looking for a blender that can easily mix drinks for yourself and others, this is a great choice. The speed is fast enough to thoroughly mix most fruits, vegetables and ice, and the unit's heavy-duty motor can tolerate heavy loads. The blender has a 2-piece blade, so it's suitable for both dense, fibrous foods like frozen berries and ice as well as softer foods like bananas. The one drawback is that the tray that holds the blender in place gets a bit messy, and the blade can bend if you load it with too much ice. The blender's travel bottles are a nice feature, but at 14 ounces, they're a bit small for mixing large batches. The blender's cord is 6 feet long, which is long enough for most kitchens, and the blender comes with a standard 120-volt plug, which is compatible with the power strips that are usually found in most U.S. kitchens. The blender is also easy to clean, and the blender's blade can be rinsed by simply placing it in the sink. The blender's speed dial is easy to use, and the blender comes with a 1-year warranty.
