Compare Blenders
Which scores higher on safety? R3 breaks it down.
The most important dimensions, side by side.
Everything you need to make the call - who each one is for, and who should skip it.
Go for it if you...
You want a glass-jar blender for a family of 3–4 and need a 48oz jar to avoid running two blend batches every morning.
Chemical safety in food-contact surfaces is your top priority and you want independent Mamavation validation rather than a brand claim.
You're blending soft fruits, yogurt, and liquid-forward smoothies — not frozen-solid fruit or whole greens.
You need the most jar capacity per dollar in a glass-jar blender under $35.
Chemical inertness of the food-contact surface is your top priority and you want stainless steel.
Your primary use is everyday smoothies, sauces, and soups — not heavy-duty blending of dense ingredients.
You prefer a commercial-grade build for durability and prefer stainless steel aesthetics.
You're fine with a 2-person to small-family serving size from a 48oz jar.
The main thing to know
The 2-year warranty is the weakest in this comparison at the same price tier — both Hamilton Beach and Oster offer 3 years for roughly the same money. If durability coverage matters, look at those alternatives.
The Waring BB300S delivers top-tier chemical safety with its stainless steel jar, but the 746W motor limits it to everyday blending tasks rather than heavy-duty applications.
Skip this if you...
You want the longest warranty available at this price — both Hamilton Beach and Oster offer 3 years for the same money.
You regularly blend frozen fruit, kale, or whole nuts and need a motor that can handle them without pre-processing.
You live in an apartment or have young children who nap — we can't confirm this blender runs quietly.
You need to blend tough ingredients — whole frozen bananas, thick nut butters, or heavy fibrous vegetables — regularly.
Warranty length matters to you — 2 years is below average for this price range.
You want a high-performance machine: 746W cannot match the smoothness of 1200W+ blenders on demanding recipes.
Neither of these quite what you're looking for?

Not necessarily. The overall score reflects our weighted rubric, but your priorities may differ. If you care most about safety, compare the safety scores directly. If budget drives your decision, the prices tell a clearer story. The "right" pick is the one that matches what matters most to your family.
