Buying guide
A good blender should handle ice, frozen fruit and greens without leaving chunks. Choose between a full-size jug and a personal blender based on how much you make at once.
A jug blender like the Breville Fresh & Furious handles bigger batches and has one-touch programs for smoothies, green smoothies and ice.
The Ninja Detect Duo comes with a 2.1 L jug and a 700 ml to-go cup, so it covers family batches and single smoothies.
The Ninja Nutri-Blender Pro blends straight into a cup you can drink from. It is small, quick and easy to clean.
Auto programs stop the blend when it is done, so you can walk away. Manual speeds give more control for sauces and dips.
Our top pick is the Breville the Fresh & Furious (BBL620). It has 9 task controls with a timer and one-touch programs for smoothies, green smoothies and ice crush.
For one person, the Ninja Nutri-Blender Pro with Auto-iQ (BN500). It has a 1000 W motor, 2 Auto-iQ programs and three single-serve cups.
The Ninja Detect Duo Power Blender Pro (TB301), with a 2.1 L jug, a 700 ml to-go cup and 10 speeds.
Yes. The Breville has a dedicated ice crush program, and both Ninja models are built for frozen ingredients.
