Best blender overall

The NutriBullet Pro 900 Series blender is one of the best blenders our Head of Reviews Millie has ever tried - high praise from our appliance expert who has tested dozens in her time. Compact, affordable and with an array of accessories, this Nutribullet certainly lives up to the brand's reputation for convenience.

During testing when whizzing up morning smoothies and smaller portions, Millie found this blender to be practically faultless, with the power to cut through ice and take on stems in fruit and vegetables. 

Given the excellent price of this blender (the RRP is £89.00), Millie thinks you'll be hard-pressed to find a more effective choice, with the two blending cups included also adding to the excellent value for money.  

While ingredients like frozen berries and kale are easy work for this blender, it does struggle slightly more with large ingredients like whole fruits, which is where a bigger, capable blender might be needed. If it's guaranteed value and everyday blending you're looking for however, you won't do better than this. 

Best blender for everything

If you're on the hunt for a blender that can do more than just smoothies, then the Ninja Foodi HB150UK Blender and Soup Maker has the versatile edge you're looking for. It's a multipurpose blender that can make soups, sauces and more - even our hard-to-please expert reviewer was seriously impressed.

Though there are cheaper iterations of the best soup makers on the market, our reviewer Helen found that the Ninja Foodi could move from task to task with unparalleled ease, from crushing ice to making butters from scratch. If it's affordability you need, checking out Ninja Kitchen discount codes may also make the deal a little sweeter.

Helen's only downside with this blender was that the capacity makes just three portions of soup at a time. Dishwasher-lovers will also be disappointed, as the blades need to be washed by hand.
