Best Overall Smoothie Maker: Ninja SS101

The Ninja SS101 is a great option if you don’t need a large capacity jar. Its compact motor base is easy to store, and you can create every type of velvety smoothie! The jars also come with resealable lids and are easy to clean.

Only downside? It’s very loud.

Easy to clean
Very loud
Velvety smoothie with all ingredients

Best High-End Smoothie Maker: SMEG PBF01

We’re big fans of the SMEG PBF01 because of its retro look & performance.Β  It creates amazing smoothies, crushes nuts, and blends almost everything. The entire design is eye-catching and beautiful on any worktop.

However, some ingredients did stick to the bottom of the jar when blending and it only comes with two jars and lids as accessories.

We Like:
We Don't Like:
Retro design
Elevated price
High performance
Limited accessories

Best Personal Smoothie Maker: Ninja BN301

Despite being compact, the Ninja BN301 has a lot of power and it can make smoothies within 30 seconds. It comes with plenty of leak-proof accessories, such as three 20-ounce jars, two flip-top travel lids, and one flat storage lid. It fits easily in any cabinet or drawer and is very well priced.

However, we noticed that dry or thick recipes require stops to scrape down the sides.

We Like:
We Don't Like:
Good accessories
Requires stops while blending
Mighty performance for small size

Best Budget Smoothie Maker: Black+Decker BL1400DG-RF

The Black and Decker BL1400DG-RF is versatile and quieter than most full-size blenders, but blends fibrous ingredients smoothly. It features a 48oz main jar for large batches and a 24oz personal jar for single servings, both of which are easy to clean. For those on a budget, it’s a great option under $100.

Yet, some parts feel flimsy and it can only handle about six ice cubes at once.
