Best Blender and Food Processor Combos of 2025

“There’s a trend in small appliances where people prefer a multipurpose machine that can do it all,” says Stacy Canova-Turner, a CR market analyst who covers small kitchen appliances. “It’s true for blenders, food processors, toaster ovens, and air fryers. For instance, with the right combination blender and food processor, you can make your favorite strawberry daiquiri, salsa salad, or hot butternut squash soup.”

We’ve highlighted (in alphabetical order) combo appliances that perform well in CR’s tests for blenders and food processors.

CR’s blender testing reveals how well a model purées, makes smoothies, and crushes ice. The food processing tests show how well each model chops almonds and onions, grates Parmesan cheese, and purées peas and carrots.
