Do you really need to invest in that Vitamix, or is there a budget buy that keeps up? We put 'em to the test.
In short, the expensive blenders did a noticeably better job grinding grain into flour, and they heated the puréed soups more, but all the blenders made peanut butter , and the differences between the smoothies were subtle.
One important point: I didn't test longevity. Pro-level blenders are designed to take a lot more abuse and keep on going. It's likely that the more affordable ones would fail way sooner if they were used day in and day out in the way commercial kitchens use their high-end blenders. If you plan on using a blender that intensively, you'll want to upgrade to one of the expensive ones.
Truth is, though, most of us at home don't use our blenders for too many grueling tasks on a daily basis. That means that, for most people, the affordable options aren't just a sad concession to save some cash—they're legitimately good choices in and of themselves, and will do more than well enough for most blending tasks.
So, is it worth it to buy an expensive, high-powered blender? If cost is no object and the smoothest soups and sauces are more important to you than saving for retirement, then, yes, definitely. I'm certainly glad I own mine. If not, don't feel too bad—our top affordable picks have you covered. The choice is yours.
