Consider Before You Buy
1) To Blend or to Juice?
Blending and juicing both have their ups and downs, but it's important to know the distinction. Blending chops the entire food item into a thick, fibrous liquid form. Juicing extracts the juice of the item, while leaving the flesh of the food behind.
The most important point to consider is whether you want fiber in your juice or not. Blenders will keep the fiber intact, while juicers will leave it behind. If you want fiber in your smoothies, I suggest going with a blender. If you don't like the consistency or consequences of eating too much fiber, I suggest going with a juicer. Don't just buy any juicer, but find one that was designed to preserve nutrients. Here is our list of the best low RPM juicers for ultimate nutrient preservation.
2) Personal or Family Use?
There are personal blenders and family blenders, and unfortunately there's not much in-between. Personal blenders are fantastic for those who are living in a 1-2 person household. It's also great for those who just want an alternative to the huge and sometime unnecessary bulk of the larger blenders. Family blenders will be larger and have higher output motors, but personal blenders will be smaller and easier to store. You can find both types with ample power. Just make sure you know the party you'll be blending for.
3) Portable or Countertop?
I know, hard to believe there are portable, battery powered blenders these days. If you're constantly on the go and want something simple and easy to clean up, we highly recommend a personal blender. They're small, powerful, and offer you the strength of a bigger blender without taking up all the kitchen real estate.
Countertop blenders will give you more versatility, but will cost more. They'll also allow you to make larger smoothies if you plan on blending for the entire family.
Qualities to Look For
1) Blade
There are three major strategies that blender manufacturers use to make a blender:
1) Sharper Blade with Smaller Motor (Shorter Lifespan, Lower Price)
2) Duller Blade with Larger Motor (Longer Lifespan, Higher Price)
You'd think there would be a sharper blade with a bigger motor, but this is ultimately counterproductive. Sharper blades will deteriorate faster because the blade never holds. To put a sharper blade alongside a big motor would create faster blade spinning, and ultimately faster blade degradation.
While sharper blades sound more attractive, slightly duller blades are usually stronger and rely on the resilient motor to do the bulk of the work. Here's the major difference. You'll immeditely recognize this with the Vitamix models. They have a duller blade but offer a high powered motor that was built to last. Ninjas will usually have a sharper blade and need more maintenance along the way.
2) Pitcher Material
These days, most blender pitchers are made of BPA-free plastic. Some are made of glass, but the "safe" plastics are usually a safer bet in the long run. Make sure to find a material you're comfortable with, especially if you'll be using the blender often.
3) Price
Here are some general price guidelines for juicer blenders:
Low | Average | High |
|---|---|---|
20% Fill Counter | 70% Fill Counter | 10% Fill Counter |
0-$100 | $100-$200 | $200 and Above |
As you can see the majority of products average out between $100 and $200. Don't assume price equals quality. A lot of our favorite juicer blenders sell for under $80.
4) Warranty
Warranty period is one of our most important variables in considering a product. We've found that the vast majority of blenders have a 1 year warranty. We always implore people to find warranty periods that stand out. Companies that offer longer warranty periods have more confidence in their product. The Oyeet Personal Blender has a 2 year warranty, the Vitamix model below has a 10 year warranty and the Cincred personal blender has a lifetime warranty.
Don't settle for less. Invest in a product whose company believes in it enough to give it a longer warranty period.
10 Best Juicer Blenders
1) HomeGeek 1450 Watt
10-Speed Blender
Dimensions
Unique Features
Pros
Cons
Summary:
A proper blender juicer is one that can make a smoothie as smooth (non-chunky) as possible. There are three major blender qualities that make this happen:
1) Sharp Blade
2) Durable Blade
3) Strong, Durable Motor
Not only has the HomeGeek blender maintained a 4.5 / 5 star Amazon review (as of 07/21/2020), but has also received countless positive remarks regarding these 3 specific blender qualities. It is the ultimate bridge between pricey Vitamix models and the cheaper Nutribullet blenders.
The negative comments were small in quantity and none were common. Some people complained about how loud it was and that it moves when in operation. These are pretty common blender qualities, which can be near impossible (and unnecessary) to avoid. Also, keep in mind this model has just breached 300 Amazon reviews. It's still in its infancy and needs more time to accumulate the common negative reviews.
2) Vitamix A2500 Ascent
Series Smart Blender
Dimensions
Unique Features
Pros
Cons
Summary:
Do we all understand how well a company has to believe in a product to give it a 10 year warranty? If you've done any research at all, you know the warranty baseline for the average blender is 1 year. While you pay a little more for the Vitamix, the promise is pretty insane. But we don't just stand behind Vitamix products because of their unorthodox warranty period. Vitamix has continually led the pack in overall blender quality and features.
The most common customer responses were the ease to which the Vitamix blender chops anything put in its path, and the versatility of the presets. People also loved the 10 variable speeds to designate the perfect blend speed for your particular project.
The most common complaint was with how big the pitcher was. Trying to blend for a party of one is out of the question with this blender. This is a giant blender and was created for a family or small village. They do offer a smaller blender that you can buy separately, but this will run you an extra hundred dollars or so. A few people also complained about the spout engineering. Some said it spills often when pouring.
3) NutriBullet 1200 Watt Blender
(ZNBF30400Z)
Dimensions
Unique Features
Pros
Cons
Summary:
Besides being the best looking blender on our list, the NutriBullet Blender has a few unique qualities that make it worth considering. For one, it's at a lower price point than both the Vitamix and the Homegeek models above. If you're thinking this is at the expense of power and versatility, think again. Customers repeatedly talked about how easily this blender pulverized ice and created deliciously smooth smoothies.
While this unit has more than proven itself, there are some minor downsides when going with a cheaper unit. For one, the company recommends replacing the blade assembly every 6 months. This will run you around $100 a year if you want to keep your blending at its highest potential. So, you can either bite the bullet now and buy a Vitamix ($500), or you can go with this Nutribullet model and spend a total of $100 now and $50 every 6 months afterwards (if you follow manufacturer's recommendations).
4) Ninja Professional 72oz
Countertop Blender
Dimensions
Unique Features
Pros
Cons
Summary:
The Ninja 72oz Blender leads the pack in Amazon reviews. Clocking in at over 8000 Amazon reviews, the Ninja has sustained a 4.5 / 5 star review, which is no small feat. It also boasts a lower price tag than any of our family size blender units, advertised at approximately $80. People loved the way it was able to crush ice so easily, and how intuitively the pitcher locks into the motor base.
While this unit has a ton of 5 star reviews, it recently has had a lot of negative press regarding the fragile nature of the pitcher and the deterioration of the blades over time. With a 1000 watt motor, this unit relies more heavily on the sharpness of the blades than the power of the motor. This can become problematic because motors tend to last way longer than blade sharpness. The price tag is an attractive feature, just make sure you know what you're sacrificing with the lower price.
5) NutriBullet Rx N17-1001
Dimensions
Unique Features
Pros
Cons
Summary:
This is the ultimate bridge between the petite personal blenders and the oversized family blenders. It also has a nice 1700 watt motor, which is double that of some of the smaller blenders. In other words, it offers the perks of a smaller blender, while providing the power of some of the bigger models.
Customers were really happy with the convenient size and automation of this blender. Once the blender is finished and the consistency uniform, it turns off. This is especially nice for those who multitask in the kitchen. Customers were also really happy with the power of the Nutribullet system. Don't let the size of this unit fool you, 1700 watts is nothing to joke about. This blender can manage 95% of the things you throw at it.
Some customer said there was some loose chunks at the top after blending ceased. Sometimes the vortex isn't able to get the top chunks to the bottom blade. Make sure to pay attention to the directions which will show you the max level of food you can blend at once.
6) La Reveuse 600 Watt
Countertop Blender
Dimensions
Unique Features
Pros
Cons
Summary:
Customers were really happy with how this model performed. The overwhelming responses were in regards to the ease of use, the ease of cleaning and the easy storage. If convenience is your top priority, the La Reveuse blender would be our first product of interest.
It should be noted, there are no buttons on this machine. When you plug it in, it turns on, and when you unplug it, it turns off. The simplicity is nice but is only for those who like this feature. For others who are looking for more blade speed options, the bigger blenders above will probably be more towards you liking. Unfortunately they make most personal blenders pretty bone stock.
7) NutriBullet 13-Piece
High Speed Blender/Mixer
Dimensions
Unique Features
Pros
Cons
Summary:
The twin sister to the well known "Magic Bullet," the Nutribullet has had ample time on the market to receive a ton of reviews. After over 3,900 reviews, this model has maintained a 4.4 / 5 star review on Amazon (as of 7/22/2020). People were really happy with how surprisingly powerful this little machine was. There were also a lot of customers who remarked on the ease of cleaning and the ease of use. Blending in the same cup you're drinking from means easier clean up.
A lot of people complained about the cups leaking. However, many happy customers refuted this complaint by insisting others should read the instructions. There is a max level of food/drinks you can put into this blender. The instructions warn that if you breach this threshold, the unit will leak. It's difficult to decipher whether this is a manufacturer or user error.
8) Cincred Personal Countertop
Blender
Dimensions
Unique Features
Pros
Cons
Summary:
Personal blenders are all the rage these days. Buyers were fed up with having to clean and maintain the larger, standard blenders, so it was only a matter of time before they came out with something new. If you're looking for a blender where prep, blending and cleaning happen in a matter of minutes, a personal blender is definitely the way to go.
People repeatedly talked about the surprising power this little machine offers. There were a few comments from customers saying how it effortlessly handles ice and frozen fruits. With over 3,000 reviews, it has maintained a 4.4 / 5 star review (as of 7/22/2020).
Keep in mind, this is a personal blender, so you're sacrificing some conveniences with the smaller size. For one, you won't be able to blend for more than 1-2 people. So if you plan on buying this for the family, I'd buy a few of them or go in a different direction. Also, blade speed is not variable. It only has one speed, which is high. It was created for smaller jobs that require little finesse.
9) OYEET Personal
1000 Watt Blender
Dimensions
Unique Features
Pros
Cons
Summary:
Alright, we try to be as impartial as we can when conducting a review. The truth is, this is our favorite juicer blender. It not only has the greatest blender reviews we've ever seen, it sells for a fraction of the competitor prices. But here's the deal, regardless of our opinion, you should always do your own research. This product is still early in its review count and needs some more time to weed out the "nay-sayers."
The most common positive response, and our favorite one at that, is how easily this little blender was able to pulverize ice and frozen fruits. This is the ultimate blender test, and the overwhelming concensus of the customers is that the OYEET personal blender is "surprisingly powerful." People were amazed at how this little blender was able to blend such tough material. People also loved the sleek, red shaker bottle design.
The only common negative responses we've received from people are that the cup is too small (for those who thought it was for a family) and that the blender only comes with one cup. For this price, these are hardly complaints. If you want some more cups, the website offers them for a reasonable price.
10) LaHuko Portable
Personal Blender
Dimensions
Unique Features
Pros
Cons
Summary:
We had no idea portable blenders even existed. The fact that a battery can supply enough power to blend solid items into a uniform liquid is pretty spectacular. Not to mention you can make fresh smoothies wherever and whenever you want. You really can't beat the price. With this low of a price and a solid 24 month warranty, there's really not a lot of downside.
Keep in mind, several people said this unit was incapable of fully crushing ice. It works best with fresh fruits and vegetables. This unit is also designed for personal use. You can get a few cups and make it for two people but the charge will deplete twice as fast. Once again, a fantastically reviewed portable blender with a great warranty. Just make sure you know what you're looking for.
Conclusion
We love the idea of finding new and tasty ways of making healthy choices. Juicer blenders are just the thing to help you do that. They offer you the nutrients without the time consuming nature of eating raw fruits and vegetables. We hope this guide was helpful and you find the perfect juicer blender to upgrade your kitchen game.
Let us know if you have any further questions.
