Best general-use blender

Oster Classic Beehive Blender
We found mixed reviews for most blenders priced from $50 to $100, but ratings for the Oster Classic Beehive blender are consistently positive. While other blenders seem to have nagging durability problems, this simple Oster blender holds up over time. In fact, the main complaint we read is that it's loud. The Oster Classic Beehive has a 500-watt motor and a tapered, stain-resistant 40-ounce glass jar that helps funnel food to the blades. The Beehive has just two speeds, but if you mainly want to puree soups and make smoothies, the Oster is a reliable all-purpose home blender that's not overly complex.


Budget blender

The two-speed Kalorik 16909 does a bit better than most $40 blenders. Owners say that it excels at crushing ice and making smoothies but that it isn't as durable as more expensive blenders. Users also say replacement parts are hard to find. While professional reviewers say that it is quiet compared with other blenders, it does leave some icy clumps in smoothies. The 500-watt Kalorik blender comes with a 48-ounce glass jar.


Multifunction blender

The Vita-Mix 5200 wins raves from owners, who say it never balks at pulverizing whole fruits and vegetables, turns ice to snow in seconds, and even crushes wheat berries into flour. This industrial-strength blender boasts a 2 horsepower motor; a huge, durable 64-ounce BPA-free jar; and a seven-year warranty. Owners say that if you use a blender daily -- particularly for tough jobs -- this workhorse is for you. The Vita-Mix's blades spin quickly enough to turn room-temperature ingredients into hot soup in about five minutes.
