Our survey results show that Vitamix, Wolf, and Calphalon are the most reliable brands, with those first two brands also achieving our highest ratings for owner satisfaction.īelow, we present 10 full-sized blenders (listed in alphabetical order) that serve up terrific smoothies. The Overall Score for each model in our blender ratings combines results from these and other lab tests with data from our latest surveys of CR members about their experiences using more than 47,000 full-sized blenders. “An excellent rating there indicates the blender serves up smooth smoothies and soups, with no stringy greens,” Ciufo says.
If you plan to blend apples, carrots, and other hard items or add greens to your smoothies, check the results of our puréeing test. A very good rating means there are tiny bits in the mix. This blender is perfect for crushing tough ice and fruit into delicious homemade smoothies in just a few minutes.
BEST SMALL SMOOTHIE BLENDER SERIES
The Cuisinart CPB-300 series is our fifth in the list of best small blenders for smoothies. “If a blender rates excellent in this test, you can expect a smooth, consistent texture, especially when blending strawberries, bananas, and other soft ingredients,” says Larry Ciufo, CR’s chief blender tester. The narrow base is easy to accidentally topple over. In our icy-drinks tests, we make batches of nonalcoholic piña coladas and use sieves of various mesh sizes to evaluate smoothness and thickness. In CR’s lab, we put blenders through a battery of tests, including two that evaluate a blender’s ability to make smooth smoothies. (Smoothies aside, here are our picks for the best blenders overall.) That’s why we set out to find the best full-sized blenders for making smoothies. Weighing in at just 1.1 pounds, this featherweight blender.

Making your own smoothies is an easy way to front-load your day with fruits and vegetables.
