The 8 Best Immersion Blenders Under $100 for Soups, Sauces and Smoothies, Ranked & Reviewed

Our verdict: A Braun stick blender that adds a food processor attachment for the price of one tool.

The MultiQuick 7 is a three-in-one set that combines an immersion blender with a food processor attachment and other accessories, priced $50 to $100. It comes from Braun, a brand known for hand blenders.

It ranks first because the accessories turn a soup tool into a small prep station. Chopping onions or nuts with the processor attachment spares you from owning a second appliance. The tradeoff is storage: more parts mean more to wash and keep track of, and the listing does not give a wattage figure to compare against the others here.

Buy it if you want one gadget to handle soup, sauces and chopping. Skip it if you only blend soup and want the smallest, easiest kit.

Our verdict: A 500W motor, 21 speeds and a turbo boost for gentle starts and strong finishes.

The Vario 5 has a 500W motor, a 21-speed dial and a turbo boost, priced $50 to $100. The wide speed range is the headline, since it lets you start slow and avoid spraying hot liquid.

It ranks second because speed control is the feature that separates a pleasant stick blender from a messy one. With 21 steps, you can ease into a hot soup or pulse a pesto, then use turbo for a final push. It sits behind the MultiQuick 7 because it lacks that model's food processor attachment, and the listing is short on accessories.

It suits cooks who blend soups and sauces often. Skip it if you want chopping attachments.

Our verdict: Another 500W, 21-speed Braun with an EasyClick system for swapping parts quickly.

The MQ50001M is a 500W, 21-speed hand blender with TurboBoost and EasyClick, priced $50 to $100. EasyClick refers to a quick-release way of attaching and removing the shaft and accessories.

It ranks third because it matches the Vario 5 on motor and speed, and adds the convenience of tool-free swaps. That helps when you move from blending to whisking mid-recipe. The reason it does not rank higher is that the two Vario models are close, and the listing does not spell out which accessories come in the box.

Choose it if you value fast attachment changes. Skip it if you want a bundle that is clearly listed.

Our verdict: An 1100W five-in-one set at $25 to $50, with the most attachments for the least money.

The Turelar is a corded 1100W five-in-one hand blender set with attachments, priced $25 to $50. It is the cheapest option in the ranking and carries the biggest motor figure on paper.

It ranks fourth because attachments and low cost are real strengths, but wattage on a lesser-known brand says little about long-term durability. Many budget sets save money on gearing and housing materials, so treat the motor number as a marketing figure and check the warranty. Against Braun you give up brand history for more accessories.

It is a good starter for a first apartment or a light user. Skip it if you want a brand with long support.

Our verdict: A corded variable-speed hand blender with attachments from a familiar kitchen brand.

The KHBV83 is a corded, variable-speed hand blender that comes with attachments, priced $50 to $100. KitchenAid is one of the best-known names in home kitchens.

It ranks fifth because the listing gives few numbers: there is no wattage or speed count to compare with Braun's 21 speeds. Variable speed, in general, means you control how hard the blade spins, which is helpful for starting low. The brand adds confidence about support and parts, but it does not offer a clear edge on spec.

It suits a buyer who prefers a mainstream brand and values matching kitchen equipment. Skip it if you want documented specs.

Our verdict: A 350W dual-speed Braun with a beaker and whisk for basic jobs.

The MultiQuick 5 is a 350W dual-speed hand blender with a beaker and a whisk, priced $50 to $100. It is the plainest Braun in the group.

It ranks sixth because dual speed is blunt compared with the 21-speed Varios, and the motor is the least powerful of the Brauns. Two speeds work for smoothies and mayonnaise but offer less finesse on hot soups. The beaker and whisk are handy extras that many cheaper sets omit.

It is a fair choice for occasional blending. Skip it if you want fine speed control.

Our verdict: A stainless steel, variable-speed stick blender from a long-standing kitchen brand.

The CSB-179 Smart Stick is a stainless steel hand blender with variable speed, priced $50 to $100. It is a straightforward classic.

It ranks seventh because the listing contains no wattage, accessories or speed count. Variable speed is useful, and stainless steel suggests a sturdy shaft, but you are buying mostly on brand. It sits below the Braun units because they publish more details.

It works for someone who wants a simple, durable stick. Skip it if you want attachments or documented numbers.

Our verdict: A four-speed blender with a whisk and a 4oz cup in Deep Navy.

The Ninja CI201ND is an immersion blender and whisk with four speeds and a 4oz cup, priced $50 to $100. It is a compact kit for small jobs.

It ranks last because the 4oz cup is small, which suits a sauce or a single drink but not a family batch. Four speeds offer more control than two but less than 21. The listing is short on motor details.

It suits small kitchens and single servings. Skip it if you cook for many people.
