Blenders are a kitchen essential for whipping up healthy smoothies, icy cold drinks and creamy soups. They can also help you whizz up homemade nut butter and chickpea hummus, chop ingredients or even make mayonnaise. But with so many models on the market it can be hard to know which one is right for you.

Our top pick for the best professional blender uk is Breville The Fresh and the Furious (known as Sage The Super Q in the UK). This sleek powerhouse wouldn’t look out of place in a commercial kitchen, and it performed well in our tests. It liquidised pineapple and leafy spinach into a perfectly smooth drink, and crushed ice and chopped nuts with ease. It also did a great job of emulsifying eggs and oil into a mayonnaise.

It’s also a good choice if you’re short on counter space, with a compact footprint and smaller cups for making single-serve smoothies and dips. And while blending is never going to be a quiet activity it’s designed to be less noisy than others we’ve tested. It’s worth noting that it does produce a noticeable whine at higher speeds, though.
