How to choose
Match wattage to the task
Wattage sets how much resistance the motor handles. A 625-watt motor handles frozen fruit and thick mixtures with less strain, while a 280-watt motor suits soups, sauces, and soft ingredients. Match the number to what you blend most: frozen blends call for the higher figures in this list, and lighter daily blending works with the lower ones.
Count speeds and attachments
Speed settings change texture control. The Braun offers 21 speeds, the Breville 15, the Vitamix 5, and the Ninja 4. Attachments change the job too: the Ninja and Breville include a whisk, and the Breville adds a chopping bowl. Pick the count and the attachments that match the recipes you make most.
Check size, weight, and cord
Weights here run from 2 pounds to 4.1 pounds, and the Vitamix and Ninja each have a 5-foot cord. Measure your tallest pot against the immersion depth or shaft length, such as the Breville 8-inch depth and the All-Clad 9-1/4-inch driveshaft, before you buy.
