I’ll break down each section, from how we choose which blenders we think you’ll like, to how we assess value, and why we compare specific models to each other. I’ll also take you into the details of why a smoothie tells a thousand things, hummus can spill some secrets, and why ice crushing is a necessary but tricky part of our tests.
