BlenderHacks is a site about kitchen blenders: how to use them better, keep them clean, fix common annoyances, and choose one that fits the way you cook.
How we write our articles
- Tips and how-tos are based on how blenders work. They’re written to apply to most machines, and we point out when a tip only fits certain types (such as high-performance or personal blenders).
- Buying advice is research-based. We haven’t tested every blender we mention. We compare manufacturer specifications, warranty terms, and long-term feedback from owners, and we say so plainly. If we’ve used a product ourselves, the article will tell you.
- We don’t publish prices because they change constantly. Follow the link to see the current price.
- Always follow your blender’s manual, especially for hot liquids, cleaning, and anything involving the blade assembly.

How we score
Some articles include a score out of 100%, star ratings and a review breakdown. These are research-based ratings, not lab tests. For each product we look at:
- Manufacturer specifications: motor, container size, controls, what’s included.
- Warranty length and terms, one of the clearest signs of how long a maker expects a motor to last.
- Long-term owner feedback: recurring praise and recurring complaints across many reviews.
- Value compared with similar blenders.
The overall score is the average of the breakdown scores. Stars are the same score shown out of five (for example, 90% = 4.5 stars). If we later test a product hands-on, we’ll say so clearly in the article.
