Top 10 Panasonic Blenders
for March 2023

The Panasonic MX-GX1561 is an ideal choice for any beginner to intermediate home chef. It's lightweight and compact, so it's the perfect choice for anyone who doesn't want to worry about storing a big blender, and it's powerful enough to handle almost any blending job. It's particularly well suited for grinding coffee, as it's powerful enough to pulverize even the toughest beans, and it comes with an attachment that makes it perfect for grinding coffee beans.

Panasonic's Meat Grinder is versatile, powerful, and easy to clean. For family cooks, the Meat Grinder is an invaluable tool for making meatballs, burgers, and sausages at home. The grinder is powerful enough to quickly prepare large quantities of meat, and the attachments allow you to make burgers, brats, and hot dogs in various sizes, so you can cook and portion meat just the way you like it. The Meat Grinder's attachments are solidly built, and the motor is strong enough to grind meat for hamburgers, meatballs, and sausages. The Meat Grinder does take some effort to clean, and you must disassemble the attachments and wash them in a sink, but it's a small price to pay for the convenience of having freshly ground meat at home. The Meat Grinder has other useful functions as well, such as creating julienne strips, shredding cheese, and making gougeres (French dumplings), so it's useful for more than just making meatballs, burgers, and sausages. If you're in the market for a meat grinder, you should definitely consider the Panasonic Meat Grinder.

The Ninja BL610 Professional Jar Blender is our top buy for smoothies, soups, and frozen treats, regardless of whether or not you're a smoothie lover. It is powerful enough to make smoothies with frozen banana, mango, or avocado, and the Total Crushing Technology blades can pulverize and crush through ice and whole fruits and vegetables in seconds. The blender is quiet, it operates easily, and the 72-oz. capacity is more than enough for up to 5 servings (or 6 large smoothies). The blender comes with a pitcher that is also BPA-free, dishwasher-safe, and made of glass, so it's easy to clean. The blender's 64-oz. max liquid capacity is enough for soup or salsa, but it won't crush ice. The blender comes with a 1.5-liter BPA-free pitcher, a 64-oz. jar, a 32-oz. travel mug, a 64-oz. smart cap, and a 64-oz. cup. The blender's 1000-watt base is powerful enough to crush ice; other blenders we tested had 750 watts or less. The blender comes with 2 recipe books: 50 Healthy and Delicious Smoothies and 50 Quick and Easy Soups.

The VonShef 750W Food Processor – Blender, Chopper, Juicer, Multi Mixer with Dough Blade, Shredder & Grater Attachment has most of the essential functions that home cooks need. The processor can chop, slice, shred, grate, and dice, and it can also make bread dough and jam. The blender can blend soups, smoothies, and juices, and its 750-watt motor powers through even the hardest ingredients. The juicer attachment will extract more juice from citrus fruits, and the dough blade makes quick work of kneading bread. The VonShef 220Volt 750W Food Processor – Blender, Chopper, Juicer, Multi Mixer with Dough Blade, Shredder & Grater Attachment has a 2.5-pound bowl, which is bigger than most food processors. It also comes with a 1.8-liter jug and a citrus juicing attachment. The jug has a wide mouth, so it's easy to pour in ingredients. The jug also locks into place, so it won't tip over during meal prep. The juicer attachment makes juicing easy. The juicer attachment comes with a 2-liter jug, so you can make plenty of juice at one time. The juicer attachment also has a pulp collector, so you won't lose any pulp.

The Hotsch Personal Blender is a decent choice for making smoothies and other drinks. The package is relatively small, and the blender itself doesn't take up much space. The blades are sharp, and the blender is powerful enough to mix most frozen fruit and veggie purees. The blender has a one-button operation, so it's simple to clean. However, the blades can get stuck in the cup if you don't shake it before starting. Also, the blender's plastic base isn't as sturdy as others we tested, so it's more likely to tip over when overloaded with wet ingredients. The blender comes with a small 13.5-ounce bottle, but we found there was always too much liquid in the cup. It's best to add about 1/3 of the cup's contents, then add some liquid. The blender is reasonably priced, and it comes with a free USB cord, but the blender's performance is below average compared with our top picks, so we recommend spending a bit more to get a much better blender.

Hamilton Beach Wave Crusher blender is our top pick for a countertop blender, thanks to its versatile design, powerful motor, and wide range of functions. It's ideal for making smoothies, shakes, margaritas, soups, and purees, and it's also powerful enough to crush ice. It has a 40-ounce glass jar, which is large enough to make enough smoothies for the whole family, and it's also heat-resistant, so it's perfect for making large batches of hot soups or chili. The blender has 14 different functions, including pulse, manual, ice crush, puree, and chop. The blades are powerful and a sharp enough that they don't leave a lot of chunks behind, and the motor is powerful enough to crush ice quickly and efficiently. The blender is relatively quiet, and it has a stainless steel finish that looks great on a countertop. The downsides of the Wave Crusher include its relatively low speed, which means it will take longer to make smoothies or purees, and the lid is the lid, so it's fairly drippy, but drips are pretty much a non-issue if you're making smoothies or purees. Overall, the Wave Crusher is a quality, versatile blender that can handle a wide variety of blending needs, and it's powerful enough to crush ice.

The Panasonic 3-JAR comes with everything you need to start juicing, including 4 unbreakable polycarbonate juice jars, a 550-watt motor, a 1000-watt blender, a 3-bowl food mill, and a 4-blade vegetable and fruit chopper. The blender and juice extractor are powerful enough to handle anything you throw at them, including whole fruits and vegetables. The blender also has 4 different speeds (high, medium, low, and pulse), and the juicer has a 4-directional rotating cutter and a 2-position pulp collector. The blender and juicer are compact, so you can store them easily. The blender is also easy to clean, and the juice extractor has removable parts, so cleaning is quick and easy. The juicer is louder than some models, but it's not loud enough to be annoying. The blender comes with 6 different attachments, including 2 different-size blade cups, a reaming blade, a dough blade, a chopping blade, a julienne blade, and a squeez blade. The attachments are made of plastic, which feels a little flimsy, but they're not cheap, so some buyers won't mind. The 3-JAR also comes with a 1-year warranty, which is better than what most manufacturers offer.
