9.2Our number one pick.

The A3500 is the blender keen cooks reach for, powerful enough to pulverise anything into a silky-smooth result and tough enough to last for years. It is expensive and loud, but the performance, programmes and self-clean justify it.

Vitamix E310 Explorian

9.0A superb runner-up.

The E310 brings Vitamix's legendary motor and blade quality to a more affordable package, making restaurant-smooth smoothies and soups with ease. It has a smaller jug and fewer presets than pricier models, but the core performance is the same.

Best quiet

Breville Super Q

8.7A standout in the upper half.

The Super Q pairs serious blending power with a noise-reducing design, so you can make a smoothie without waking the house. It is pricey, but for power plus relative quiet it is one of the best.

Pros

  • Smooth results
  • Vacuum-blend option
Cons

Froothie Optimum 9200A

8.6A well-rounded mid-table pick.

With one of the most powerful motors here, the Optimum 9200A can heat soup through friction alone and crush anything you throw at it. It is big and loud, but for high-performance blending and a long warranty it is great value.

  • Compact
  • Good presets

8.4A budget-friendly option worth a look.
