Best Blender and Food Processor Combos of 2025, Tested by Experts

“There’s a trend in small appliances where people prefer a multipurpose machine that can do it all,” says Stacy Canova-Turner, a Consumer Reports 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 of blender and food processor, you can make your favorite strawberry daiquiri, salsa, or hot butternut squash soup.”

But that doesn’t mean that all combo machines perform both functions equally well. Below, in alphabetical order, are the two combo appliances that perform well in CR’s tests for both blenders and food processors. For both models, we link to separate pages that describe test results for blending and food processing.

CR’s blender testing reveals how well a model purées, makes smoothies, and crushes ice. Our food processing tests demonstrate the performance of each model in tasks such as chopping almonds and onions, grating Parmesan cheese, and puréeing peas and carrots.
