Quiet Blender – Top 10 Best mouth-watering Smoothie Makers

If you own a blender at home like most of us do, you know what the problems of using a blender are. One is that they can get really hot after using it for a long time, and the other one is the noise. I like listening to music or watching the news on tv while I am cooking and I can do that mostly. But when I am using the blender I cannot concentrate on the music or the news over the extreme sound of the blender. That is why I started wondering if there are companies that make quiet blenders. It seems they do. But how does a quiet blender work?

How does a Quiet Blender Work?

For a blender to be a quiet blender, the noise created by the motor inside needs to be either dampened or shielded. By creating the blender’s body from materials that have soundproofing abilities and also using materials like rubber at the joints or connecting points within the machine, the noise of the machine can be dampened. Having a material like again rubber at the bottom of the machine also reduces the vibration which also makes a lot of noise. The last thing that makes a quiet blender quiet is the enclosure with soundproofing abilities. This enclosure acts as a sound shield.

Having talked about how a quiet blender works and why do we need a quiet blender, after all, we would like to go into the list of 10 Best Quiet Blenders for mouth-watering beverages directly.

1. Hamilton Beach Professional 1500W Quiet Shield Blender

What is important about the Hamilton Beach Professional 1500W is that it is a really strong and quality blender. What distinguishes it from other blenders in the market is the capability to give the smoothies that nice texture which contains no chunky bits in it. This is the most important thing in a smoothie because it needs to be “smooth”.

The steel matte finish looks really high quality and this blender will be not just an appliance you are using but an accessory that your guests will admire. It has a self-cleaning ability so that you do not need to do anything to clean it.

Some customers, however, were complaining about the “shatterproof” main jar getting broken when handling frozen ingredients. But the majority of the users do not have complaints like this and are happy with their Hamilton Beach Professional 1500W Quiet Blender. We think, that Hamilton Beach Professional 1500W is the best quiet blender out there.

For a quick sound test, be sure to check out the sound test video.

2. Vitamix 5200 Blender Professional Grade

Vitamix 5200 is another quiet blender in our list of top 10 best smoothie makers. It is one of the best brands out there that produce high-quality blenders and Vitamix 5200 Blender Professional Grade is one of them. While having low power when compared to some of the other blenders in this list, it can still crush ice and frozen ingredients easily.

Vitamix 5200 Blender Professional does not require you to keep your hands on the jar while operating because it sits strong and forms above the strongly rotating motor inside it.

A warning though, this blender is not so silent when compared to Hamilton Beach Professional 1500W Quiet Shield Blender. Because it lacks an extra enclosure shield. However, it is still a very quiet blender if you think of the normal blenders.

It also has a self-cleaning mode which makes it easy to clean the product. The jar is big enough to make large smoothies and the plastic is BPA-Free.

• Multiple Speed Settings

3. Blendtec Total Classic Original Blender with FourSide Jar

Blendtec is one of the companies that specialize in blenders both for commercial and residential purposes. It is the first industrial-grade blender that can also be used at home.

It is not so quiet just like the Vitamix 5200 Blender Professional Grade but this can be overlooked. The reason for that lies in how powerful the motor is in this beast. Do not get us wrong, it is still a quiet blender but there are still blenders that are quieter than this one.

What is best about this product is, that it is very easy to use. If you haven’t used a blender before or you need a blender that is easy to use, not so complicated, you can consider buying the Blendtec Total Classic Original Blender with FourSide Jar. It has many areas of use and can blend nut butter, juices, ice, fruits, etc. It can even knead dough! Can you believe that?

4. Ninja Professional 72oz Countertop Blender

The Ninja Professional Countertop Blender is a very sturdy quiet blender. While not compromising on noise, it’s powerful motor can crush down all ingredients thanks to its hard steel blades.

Speaking of its blades, they are produced in an angled shape so that it can create a vortex effect inside the jar. This allows the ingredients to meet more with the sharp blades. The vortex effect also plays a huge role in having a chunkless mix inside the jar, which is one of the most important things in a smoothie. A smoothie must be smooth right? 🙂

If you are a green smoothie fan, which includes ingredients e.g mint, then this blender is the one for you. Consuming greens/vegetables are great for your health. Some of us do not prefer eating greens that much during the day, consuming them inside smoothies would improve your health because they are usually very high in fibers, which is very good for your intestines.

The removable parts of this blender are dishwasher friendly so do not be afraid to clean them in a dishwasher.

• 6 stainless steel blades
• Includes a 25-recipe cookbook

Its ease-of-use enables you to make quick smoothies at the touch of a button. Design is also really good on this quiet blender, it is very simple.

You can blend many ingredients without alerting your wife, children, or your flatmate so they do not know that you are the one who is consuming all those veggies and fruits 😉

Blendtec pro blends ingredients like a lancet, while not compromising on noise thanks to its quiet shield or silent enclosure.

This commercial-grade quiet blender uses its lancet like blunt blades and high performance motor to crush and cut through all the ingredients you throw in it.

The sound enclosure or the quest shield absorbs the noise almost to zero. The main property of the so-called “WildSide Jar” is that it has a twist in its shape so that it can push the ingredients towards the blade.

Another perk of this amazing quiet blender is that it has a self-cleaning mode. This can be expected from a professional blender like this of course. It also has other functions.

This blender is extra easy to clean and the ease-of-use in this thing is a monster. You can even teach a child how to use it in under a minute. Of course, this is not recommended. 🙂

This one particularly specializes in beverages because this quiet blender HomGeek Blender Smoothie Maker is known to blend better than other high-performance blenders. It will leave you with consistently blended beverages. But of course, it also excels in making smoothies, otherwise, we wouldn’t add it to our list of top 10 best quiet blenders.

8. Breville Fresh and Furious Quiet Blender

Breville is a high-end brand that mostly gained its reputation from how quality their products are.

That is an awesome name.

Breville Fresh and Furious Quiet Blender are a very good looking quiet blender with remarkable design features. The Jar on this thing can take up to 50 oz of liquid. Normally for a jar that big, a big motor is required but the footprint of the motor is really small, so it would suit most households. This blender has nine different control features and has unique capabilities like food processing.

This beast is equipped with a high torque 1100Watt motor. Normally, this is less than most of the other beasts in this list like Hamilton Beach 1500W Blender but, when combined with the unique design of the blades, the output is a quiet and efficient operation. The design of the blades creates a vortex effect that constantly pulls the ingredients towards the blades for better blending.

9. Optimum High-Speed Blender VAC2

Optimum High-Speed Blender VAC2 is a very good quiet blender because it has exceptional and groundbreaking vacuum technology. The main feature of quiet blenders with vacuum technology is that they suck out oxygen before blending. This enables the blender to preserve the nutrients from destruction through oxidization. This is achieved by this blender thanks to a properly sealed jar with vacuum functionality. But, you can only use automatic settings to operate the vacuum.

Smoothies are healthy snacks so therefore it is very important for those precious nutrients to survive.

This quiet blender has literally a beat motor inside. Going up to 2238Watts, this blender is the strongest blender in this list. The motor rotates six stainless steel blades to be able to crush seeds and ice very quickly.

Here is a simple fact; you can only use automatic settings to operate the vacuum. The devices include a 2238Watt motor with six blades made from stainless steel to crush seeds and ice quickly.

10. Froothie Optimum VAC2

Froothie Optimum is the last quiet blender in our list of Quiet Blender – Top 10 Best Quiet Blenders. It is a heavy-duty device which is powered by a 2200Watt motor. Just like the Optimum High-Speed Blender before, Froothie Optimum VAC2 also has a vacuum capability that eliminates the air from the carafe first before starting to blend. This preserves nutrients like Vitamin C, which is a great boost for our immune system that is really important these days because of the Covid-19 Pandemic.

If not for vacuum, there would be oxidation. Oxidation may change the taste and color of food, which is different from their non-blended versions.

This blender also has a powerful motor operating 6 blades with spiky edges. Stainless steel blades cut through frozen ingredients and ice like butter, giving your smoothie a fine texture. The bearings reduce the heat radiated from the motor while operating at high speeds.

The last thing to talk about is the tamper. Tamper aids in the crushing of any mixture like vegetables or fruits or even seeds does not matter what kind of material you are trying to blend.

• 2200Watt at peak performance
• Vacuum capabilities
• Can make additive-free nut butter

How can I make my blender less noisy? How to reduce blender noise?

If you have recently bought a normal blender and already complaining about the noise. There may be some tricks that you can do to minimize the noise of your blender. Here are our top 10 recommendations:

1. Do not put the blender near a wall or the windows. This may cause the sound being emitted from the blender to bounce off the walls and windows, resulting in more noise than the machine actually makes. Placing the blender in the middle of the kitchen (if that is possible of course) will surely reduce the noise coming from the quiet blender.
2. A soft towel under the blender may reduce the noise. Blenders are usually placed on kitchen counters made of wood or granite. This will cause the material to vibrate, resulting in an increase in the noise being emitted. A towel should reduce the vibration and thus the noise.
3. Mats are important. Place a silicone or rubber mat under the blender. This is an alternative to number two. If you do not want to put a towel under your quiet blender, because you think it is not going to look good, you can buy a silicone or rubber mat. This will also decrease the sound by absorbing part of the vibration being conducted to the kitchen counter.

Making a Quiet Blender, Soundproofing

1. Get your hands on an enclosure box (You can also do it yourself). You can make an enclosure by getting your hands on a carton and stick egg cartons/soundproof foam inside it. Be careful to keep the inside of the cardboard bigger than the blender. Leave one side open so that the blender can fit in it and Voila! The second option is to buy an enclosure box during which you need to pay attention to the dimensions.
2. Soundproof nearby surroundings. You can also use soundproof foam or egg cartons to soundproof the wall behind the blender to block the sound from bouncing on the wall.
3. Combine soundproof enclosure and sound decoupler. Combining number 2 and number 4 will make the noise even less.
4. At really low or high speeds, the noise will be minimized. At low speeds, the blender will vibrate less because of low motor power. Put it on high speed, the blender will approach to resonance state, which will also reduce the vibration.
5. Blend your meal the night before. You can prepare your smoothie or drink a bit before the night so that nobody gets distracted by the sound emitted.
6. Buy a silent blender! You can use this list to choose which one is the best quiet blender.

Is the Vitamix Quiet?

Vitamix blenders are produced in a way that the noise they are emitting are within safe levels. There are of course many Vitamix blender models with different performances in Watt. Therefore, if you’d like to buy a Vitamix Quiet Blender, stay away from the ones over 1300-1400 Watts. Also, if you already have a Vitamix Blender and you’d like to make it less noisy, you can find the answer to the question “How can I make my blender less noisy” just above in this list.

The Vitamix blender in this list is a quiet blender, so you can be comfortable while buying it if you have concerns about how much noise it is going to make. Of course, to be sure, we recommend taking a look at YouTube for a sound test.

What is the most expensive blender in the world?

Vitamix 5200 is the most expensive blender in the world. However, it is an industrial-grade blender which is very powerful, which means you can expect more noise when compared to other blenders out there. For a detailed review, Vitamix 5200 is the second blender in this list.

What brand blender does Starbucks use?

Starbucks is one of the biggest coffee chains all around the world. This is because they make good quality coffee and the comfort they offer their customers in the shop. Therefore it is really important for Starbucks to use one of the best blenders out there. At first, Starbucks was using Blendtec blenders to blend the beverages in the shop but after that, they have changed their blenders.

Starbucks then switched over to Vitamix because Vitamix offered Starbucks a custom-designed and produced blender which is the Vitamix 48-ounce Blending Station Advance. That blender is a beast but a silent one. It is used in almost all Starbucks shops in the world.

Are expensive blenders worth it?

We would like to answer this question with a yes. Yes, expensive blenders are worth it if you are going to suck out every bit of performance out of them. Smoothies or beverages which are made with cheap blenders can contain chunks in them or they can be foamy or bubbly. There are many aspects to consider while buying a blender which are performance, noise, design, and blades. Some blenders can create a vacuum in them so that the nutrients in the beverage are preserved, creating the most healthy drink for you.

This is also very good for parents because they want to feed their new babies because they can only eat liquid food. While feeding the babies it is really important to suck out every bit of nutrient in the mix so that the baby is in top health!

How powerful should a quiet blender be?

This is an excellent question with no exact answer to it. The power of a blender actually depends on what you want from the blender. If you are making smoothies one or two times a month, you should not get a powerful blender. A blender with 800-1000 Watts should be more than okay for you. But if you like smoothies, you have babies to feed, you like mixing alcoholic beverages with ingredients, or a wannabe barista, then you can get a 1500Watt blender.

So, which one was your favorite?

There are of course more powerful blenders out there that have 2500 Watts power, but we think this is not necessary. Because the power of a blender does not only depend on how powerful the motor is. Shape and the material of the blades are also important. Serrated blades can crush solid and frozen ingredients better, while non-serrated blades can cut through soft ingredients like fruits or vegetables to make a real fine blend. Therefore it is important to know what you will be using this blender for before you make a decision.
