This is the blender of the future. It performs all the traditional blending tasks (crushing ice for margaritas, thinning ice cream) plus you can use it like a food processor (mincing garlic, puréeing peppers). The wide jar is rounder and squatter than old-style blenders, which makes it easier to reach in and scrape the sides (when the blender is off!). To reduce splatters of strawberry daiquiri, the Step Start feature starts blending slowly, then picks up to the chosen speed. This blender also comes with a booklet containing 75 recipes--my favorite is the Frosty Chocolate Raspberry Latté. --Dana Van Nest

Editor's Choice:KitchenAid's five-speed blender has a number of functions that set it above the crowd as our choice for best blender under 0. It starts with the five speed settings and the pulse function, which works at any of the speeds--a really nice touch. The blender's 40-ounce glass jar has a squat shape, making it more manageable than taller blenders, and comes completely apart.


Whirl up a fruit and yogurt smoothie to get your morning off to a healthy, energizing start. Or wind down after work with an icy cold margarita. But that's just the beginning: chop ice, grind coffee beans, puree soup and more.
