Yet since it's not trying to reinvent the wheel, there aren't so many that it'll overwhelm you. The Breville has a few blender settings and programs. It shredded cheese with ease, pulverized raw almonds to smithereens and made quick and consistent work of ice and a pancake batter mix.

In addition to the 68-ounce canister and 1,800-watt motor base, you get a 24-ounce blending cup with its own separate blade attachment for making single-serve smoothies or soups to take on the go.Īs for the tests we ran, the Super Q did as well or better than any of the others. The Super Q also comes with extras - but nothing superfluous. The build and materials used for this blender are sturdy and elegant, and the canister is a different, slightly silkier grade of plastic. Vitamix, Blendtec, Hurom, Braun and Cleanblend all make powerful blenders you likely won't regret buying - but what we love about Breville's stately Super Q, beyond its performance, are the thoughtful touches. When you reach a certain level (and price), most blenders do just about everything you need and so you have to start splitting hairs. But for dip makers and smoothie drinkers who want to save themselves the extra step of having to stop midblend to set dense ingredients free, this blender is your best bet.

The main reason this unit isn't atop our list is that it's small - just 34 ounces - so it won't be the best pick if you use your blender for making large batches of soups or sauces. With 1100 watts of operating power, there isn't much this blender can't pulverize in a snap. In addition to cranking out clump-free smoothies in seconds and without having to stop and scrape, this blender nailed the other tests, including turning nuts into powder and crushing ice in seconds. This smartly designed, compact model has tamper blades built into the lid that you can twist manually to loosen stuck and stubborn ingredients without having to stop the motor. 1 reason you pull out the blender, Ninja's Twisti is the best blender for your buck. I was very close to giving this the top spot on our list, but because of the smaller size, it might not be the best fir for everyone.
