Pick the type first: a full-size countertop blender for several servings at once, a personal blender if you mostly make one smoothie and drink it from the cup you blended in, or an immersion (stick) blender if you blend soups and sauces in the pot. Then set the most you want to spend, by the price on the maker's own store. Last, decide on the extras that change how you use it: a big jar, to-go cups, a food processor bowl and preset programs.
Each list states its selection criteria, and every pick is checked against its maker's page.
