The New York Times - Let's blend

Our best blender pick on a counter half-filled with a fruit smoothie, surrounded by the ingredients.

Sarah Kobos

A great blender can take chunks of ice, fruit, a cheeky nut butter, and whatever else your heart desires and turn it into a meal. (Pick your ingredients right, and you might even end up with a meal fit for a king.)

‌

No other blender we’ve tested since 2012 can reliably produce silky soups, spoon-thick smoothies, and stable emulsifications like the Vitamix 5200. Yes, it’s pricey, but we think its powerful motor, nuanced controls, and long-lasting reliability make it worth the investment.
