"The 5200 blender jar is too tall to store under my cabinet, so I kept the base on the counter and the blender jar in the cabinet. "I've been using the Vitamix 5200 for 10 years but I recently swapped for the A2500 because it fits under my counter," says Killeen. There's a reason Vitamix is synonymous with high-speed blenders, and their blenders are longtime favorites among the members of the test kitchen. "I also think if it's something you use often and it's going to be on your counter, it needs to look good," she adds. When choosing a high-speed blender, Killeen says to look for a long warranty, variable settings and a motor powerful enough to make the smoothest sauces and smoothies possible. If you use your blender more often or task it with pureeing lots of tough vegetables or aromatics like ginger, you might want to invest in a high-speed blender like a Vitamix. "Look for one that still has a good bit of power, isn't too loud and can still blend up a smoothie without chunks." "If you don't use a blender that often-let's say once or twice a month-then a regular blender is your best bet," says Killeen. Also seek out one that blends evenly (so there aren't big chunks left), with a leakproof lid and a blender jar that can go in the dishwasher (i.e., it isn't too tall).Īnother consideration when buying a new blender is whether to go for a standard blender or a high-speed blender (aka a high-power blender). No matter what type of blender you buy, EatingWell test kitchen manager Breana Killeen says to look for one that has a strong motor that can handle crushing ice, as well as multiple functions for low to high speed.
