Sales of blenders “have been humming in recent years – thanks in part to the popularity of so-called personal blenders”, says Consumer Reports. “These alternative to full-size blenders target on-the-go smoothie enthusiasts, featuring smaller containers that can double as a travel mug. Whether it’s full-size or personal, a blender is one appliance that you’re more likely to leave on the countertop – so upscale looks, increased power, and sturdier construction are also helping to drive blender sales.”
Here is the Consumer Reports’ selection of recommended blenders. The maximum overall score is 100, and “Best Buy” models offer more value.
Immersion blenders
Full-size blenders
Personal blenders
