We've got personal blenders good for traveling and on-the-go lifestyles, blenders that serve double duty as food processors, and even a handheld immersion blender (also known as a stick blender) that can puree soup directly in the pot. We also considered owner reviews posted on manufacturer and retailer sites, including Amazon, Walmart, Target, and Best Buy. To choose the best cheap blenders, we consulted expert testing results and product reviews from respected sources such as Consumer Reports, Wirecutter, Good Housekeeping, and CNET.
