Blending speed is a very important specification for most blenders, but most manufacturers only advertise the exact blending speed of their models. In this test, we measure it by analyzing the revolutions per minute (RPM) of each blender.
Some of the features that could be deal-breakers are those that are used by most people. These are only tests and not the best results.

How Fast Can A Blender Spin?
Blenders have speeds ranging from 17,000 to 30,000 RPMs and the typical speed range on most blenders would be 19,000 to 22,000 RPMs. The ingredients will be properly chopped or blended with a spinning speed of 17,000 RPMs. A high-speed blender is ideal for making smoothies, soups, purees, and homemade nut butter.
The maximum and minimum speed of a blender can help determine if it’s right for you. It can also help determine if it’s ideal for you.
Many home cooks prefer a slow start to a fast start, so if you’re looking for a versatile blender that can work with a wide variety of food applications, look for a machine with a broad variety of speed settings.
A good blender will have a speed dial to set its blending speed. It’s also important to find one that has a pulse mode to break down large batches of ingredients.
The speed of a blender is typically described in RPM or miles per hour. It refers to the average speed of the blades’ tips, which is the difference between the rpm and the blade length.
It’s important to note that the blade length is related to the speed at which it spins. A longer blade with a higher rpm will generate more stir-up and increase the contents’ velocity.
Minimum Speed Of The Blender
The minimum speed of a blender is 700 RPM and the tachometer at the bottom of the blade shows the revolutions per minute, and we round the number down to get the desired blending speed.
We measure the minimum speed of each blender by using a tachometer, which is a tool that counts the revolutions per minute. To test the blades, we wrap them in gaffer tape and then apply reflective tape around the base.
You may be looking for a slow low-speed setting if you’re using your blender to emulsify or puree certain food or drink ingredients.
Maximum Speed Of The Blender
The maximum speed of a blender is 25,000 RPM. The fast top speed can help you make more nutritious smoothies, as well as smooth and nutritious sauces and purees. It can also help make food prep easier.
The maximum speed test is performed at the same time as the minimum speed test. We measure the top speed for one minute, then round the measurement down to the nearest 100 rpm.
Speed Dial
If you’re looking for a versatile blender that can handle different types of recipes, then a speed dial may be helpful. If you’re just starting out, then a dedicated speed dial may be helpful.
Performance varies depending on many factors such as the type of blade and the shape of the jar.
If a blender has a speed dial, it should be used in this test. However, it doesn’t have to be a literal dial.
If the blending speed is set at a certain level with a speed dial, we will record the results. This is very important since it lets you fine-tune the blending rate as you go.
Pulse/Turbo
This feature helps break down large batches of ingredients, such as ice cubes and frozen fruits. It’s also useful when making almond butter.
This test aims to determine if a blender has a turbo or pulse mode that allows you to run it in short bursts. It also tests if it can perform a pulse test by quickly turning on and off.
Noise
Some of the quietest immersion blenders we’ve tested are the Bamix The Original and the Mono M133.
If you regularly make food with the help of a blender, then you probably need to know its noise level. This test measures how loud the machine makes when running at its fastest speed.
On/Off Toggle
For this test, we look for a switch or an on/off button that’s required to start a blender. Most full-size machines have this feature, though some personal blenders don’t.
This safety feature helps prevent the accidental activation of the blender when it’s plugged into an outlet.
When it comes to blenders, the on/off switch is the only component that will allow the blender to function properly until it is flipped. It’s not ideal if the blender is plugged in and doesn’t have a button or an on/off switch.
How Blender Motor Works
The coupler attached to the motor spins at high speed with maximum power when the motor is on and the blade attached to the coupler also maintains the same speed by causing the blender to work properly.
The motor of your blender is very basic. It is a small electric device that is used to cool the unit.
The motor base is situated inside the unit’s cavity. It utilizes a small vertical coupler shaft to generate quick spin. This design feature allows the motor to cool down while still keeping the blades spinning.
Most blender motors are designed to provide short bursts of intense power. This is not the case with most professional blenders.
The burst time of a blender motor is usually 60 seconds. This is because the lack of airflow causes the motor to overheat.
If you keep your blender running continuously, it could cause its motor to overheat. This could cause it to stop working or completely fry itself.
How Motor Controls Speed
There is a ring on the blender which has a speed controller attached to that. It can change the speed levels of the motor when the ring rotates.
Almost every blender in existence has a variable speed limit. This means that they can work with different blending speeds.
By pushing a button or a switch, you can change the speed of your blender. This method will increase the amount of power that is being used by the motor.
When the speed of the motor is set high, the full power of the device is provided to the motor. This ensures that the blades are more powerful. Most blenders have 3-speed settings.
There are many different settings that allow you to customize the amount of power that your blades use.
How Pulse Works
The pulse feature is a feature that’s commonly found on most blenders. It allows you to make batches of thick soups and other recipes that are a bit more complex. Not all blenders have it, but it’s a must-have if you’re planning on getting one.
Instead of running continuously, try pulsing your motor. This will prevent the solid ingredients from building up under the blades.
Pulse blending is a feature that allows you to evenly mix all of the ingredients in the blender at a slow and steady pace. It works great for making ice cream and milkshakes.
The pulse feature is a great way to save energy and keep your blades fresh. It works by spinning the blades until they spin to life.
How Fast Does A Vitamix Spin?
Everyone knows that Vitamix blenders are very fast, but what exactly are the actual RPM speeds? This post will answer these questions and more by measuring the speeds of the different models.
In this post, I will be covering some basic lessons about blenders. These are not related to how well they work, but rather, how to improve your skills.
Two simple methods for measuring the speed of a blender.

Minimum and Maximum Vitamix Speed
The Vitamix Creations II and 5200 are the same models, but with different speeds and blade sizes. Below are the speeds for the 5200 and the other models.
Although I did not perform rigorous error analysis, I was confident that the results were accurate. They are consistent with the numbers provided by Vitamix.
The speed of the Pro 500 is incorrectly indicated as 240 miles per hour. It turns out that the speed of the 5200 is also higher than the Pro 500’s max speed.
The 5200 is often claimed to spin at a speed of up to 37,000 RPM. This figure is a major overstatement, and it is often referred to as the “bare motor speed.” In reality, the maximum speed of the 5200 is not as fast as it is claimed.
The minimum speed of the Pro 750, 500, and 7500 blenders is faster than the 5200, but this is not an issue for blending.
Intermediate Speed Of Blender
We’ve only looked at the minimum and maximum speeds of an empty blender.
Not surprisingly, the 5200 and Creation II had the same speeds, while the 7750 and Pro 750 had the same speeds. In addition, the 5200 and Creation II have the same maximum speeds, so they start one point before the 7500.
The 7500 speed is perfectly linear, while the 5200 doesn’t have a linear path. This means that the 5200 doesn’t change as evenly as the 7500.
The 7500 maintains the same speeds regardless of the load’s increase, and it does so until the machine reaches its maximum speed. This behavior is most likely caused by the microprocessor controlling the speed.
For most blending loads, the maximum speed for the 5200 and 7500 is the same. However, for low loads, the 5200 is faster. For most water-based blends, the maximum speed is equal to that of the narrow container.
Classic vs. Next Generation At Heavy Load
The redesigned air intakes are located at the bottom of the front and sides. These cars are very similar in size and shape to the 5200 and 7500.
If the motor of the 5200 and the 7500 models perform the same at the same speed at all times, then it should be noted that the user should not use the 4” blade on the 5200. Aside from being more cooling, the new base design also allows for better sound quality.
The 7500 and 5200 are both capable of producing speeds of around 16,000 rpm. However, in a heavy-duty load, their maximum speeds were equal.
