If canned soup takes you back to your student days and jarred pasta sauces no longer appeal, it's time to invest in one of the best hand blenders. This versatile kitchen appliance makes it easy to prepare everything from soups to homemade sauces from scratch.

To help narrow down the options, I tested a selection of hand blenders in my own kitchen, blending everything from soups to smoothies to find the models that deliver the best performance.
