It's easy to think of your blender as a specialty appliance that you only pull out when you decide to make a bunch of drinks for a group of people. But as you'll see from this list, blenders have evolved far beyond their ability to make a healthful smoothie or a frozen margarita. Plus, if you're regularly buying nut butters, bread crumbs, or ice cream, these things are now really easy to make with a quality blender, and it will save you so much money in the long run. Some blenders come with mini food processor attachments, some are built for pulverizing ice, and single-serve blenders are all the rage right now with folks who like to take their smoothies on the road. Whether you're looking for one blender to do it all or you just want the perfect daquiri, we've found some of the best blenders on the market.
