I hear it all the time: what blender is best?
It’s a big decision. The fate of your smoothie’s texture lies in your blender’s blades. If you get the wrong one, you could be staring down a chunky smoothie. If you overpay, you’ve wasted valuable money.
Here’s the thing: Blenders are a little like cars. Like cars, there are a million things to know if you want to get good value. And, like cars, they are made for many different uses.
Some blenders make great soups. Some make great chopped carrots. And yes, some make great smoothies. Do you really want to do all the work to know which is which?

Budget (<$100): Ninja Professional Blender NJ600
The 72 oz. pitcher and 1000-watt engine mean that you don’t have to sacrifice texture and size when you go for budget. It doesn’t overwhelm with a dozen blending options, either - just hit blend and be on your way.
Trust me - even on a budget, size matters. “Bullet”-style blenders can entice you with their absurd infomercials, but their small size and sub-750 watt engines mean you can only add a couple ingredients before your smoothie becomes way too thick to drink. They are better used for ingredient preparation. For smoothies, you’ll wish you went big every time.
Runner-up: Waring Pro PBB225
Blenders to avoid: Magic Bullet, NutriBullet Original, Hamilton Beach Wave/Single Serve, Oster Beehive
Mid-range ($150-$350): Breville Fresh & Furious Blender
If you want your smoothies to be perfect but aren’t ready to commit to premium, at roughly $200 this is your gateway blender. It has a nice high 750-watt engine, and it’s 5-speed control and blade system excels at, as they put it, “pulling down what’s on top and whipping up what’s below”. This separates it from less smoothie-focused blenders that work in more “flat” blade rotation.
Runner-up: Oster Versa
Blenders to avoid: Black & Decker Crush Master, SMEG Retro Style, Kenwood ThermoResist
Premium ($400+): Vitamix Total Nutrition Centre
All three of The Good Stuff’s founders use this blender. That alone should say enough about its quality. Why do we love it? Peace of mind. We know it has the blades and engine to blend anything we’d ever put in a smoothie, and we know if it breaks they stand by their 10-year warranty. At almost $500 it’s not cheap, but it’s a worthy investment for any smoothie enthusiast.
Blender On A Mac
Runner-up: Blendtec Total with Wildside Jar
Blenders to avoid: HealthMaster Elite Food Emulsifier by Montel Williams, Cleanblend Commercial, any food processor
Commercial: Blendtec Stealth
We work with cafes, gyms, and offices, and they’ll ask us: “what’s the best possible blender we can get for our smoothies?”
That’s when we break out the Blendtec Stealth. It’s not for the light-pocketed but in addition to being incredibly powerful, it’s also the quietest blender in the world. This is how to serve smoothies without killing your vibes.
Runner-up: Vitamix “The Quiet One”
Blender For Osx
Blenders to avoid: Any non-commercial grade blender, including the Vitamix Total Nutrition Centre. If you use a blender designed for home use in a commercial setting, even a premium one, you’ll void your warranty.
