7 Top-Rated Immersion Blenders to Whisk, Whip, and So Much More

Vitamix’s immersion entrant is a powerful, five-speed blender with sturdiness, performance and a quality build. The Vitamix is stainless steel throughout (compared to mixed materials on other models) and has a really comfortable, ergonomic grip.

I thought the power distribution of this model was pretty good. I didn’t get sudden jolts of power while shifting between speeds or on and off. I also thought the quality of the blending was pretty congruent even in tougher batches with a thicker texture.

Vitamix’s immersion blender definitely feels as well-built as anything on this list, and is most comparable to Breville’s offering (minus the included attachments). Vitamix does sell attachments separately, and they’re affordable, so it makes the solo buy here much more palatable.

Although the Breville option isn’t the most powerful immersion blender out there, I loved the way that it uses the power it does have. It only felt lacking with the heavier, thicker batches where the Vitamix would generally pick up the slack.

Another thing I love is the included accessories actually work. The whisk makes easy work of whipping and egg beating while the food processor handles small chopping jobs with aplomb. It also feels just as well-built as the Vitamix and is a very close #2 on the list. In most cases, the differences between the Breville and Vitamix options are minimal.

Here, Ganiza provides a very compelling product: 800 watts of blending power with a range of accessories all under $50. You even get a “Turbo” mode for exceptionally tough blending jobs, which could come in handy for the thickest of stews and smoothies.

Reviewers like the range of speeds and note the blending motor doesn’t produce an odor or get too hot, even after prolonged use at the higher range of speeds.

The only issue is that with this much range comes the potential to make a mess if you’re not using a wide, high-sided bowl. When getting started with the Ganiza, work slow and measured as you gain speed and understanding — your kitchen counters will thank you.

Another high-powered immersion blender that can stand up to tougher tasks like chopping nuts or frozen foods for smoothies, this option from Mueller is equipped with a 500-watt motor and nine customizable speeds.

Although it should be noted that many reviewers find this hand blender to be a bit bulky and heavy in-hand (especially during long, continuous blending tasks), this tool is still incredibly user-friendly.

Included with this immersion blender is one whisk attachment for lighter dessert applications and a frother for milk applications.

This versatile stainless steel immersion blender from KitchenAid lets you blend, crush, chop, puree, and whisk foods for use in everything from homemade baby food to fresh smoothies. The intuitive variable speed trigger switch allows users to apply pressure to control blending speed as they go.

Reviewers love the comfortable rubberized grip, lightweight, cordless design, and removable 8-inch blending arm for easy cleaning.

Although this option is the heaviest on this list, Serious Eats named this All-Clad Immersion Blender their undisputed champ for its all-around top notch performance.

This sleek and minimalist immersion blender features a variable speed control dial, a handy pulse and turbo function, and removable parts that are dishwasher-friendly, making this one of the most user-friendly options you can buy.

With its powerful 600-watt motor that can tear through the toughest fibrous veggies, frozen fruits, or ice chips, the All-Clad Immersion Blender is a wise investment to add to your kitchen tool arsenal this season.

Another immersion blender called out by Serious Eats as a solid and more budget-friendly pick, this model by Hamilton Beach works for most everyday blending and pureeing tasks.

Although this immersion blender only has two speeds to choose from, its extra-wide blade guard and large vents that prevent food from splattering during blending tasks make it a reviewer favorite. Super lightweight and with a smaller and slimmer shaft design, this immersion blender is a solid budget-friendly pick.

This immersion blender set comes with its blending wand, a wire whisk, and chopping bowl for processing harder foods like nuts, spices, fibrous veggies, ice, and frozen berries.
