How the overall 0.0 – 10.0 score is determined for every product in Immersion Blenders.
Every spec of the model is compared with the other models in this category and gets a mark from 0 to 10. The specs are grouped into 5 evaluation areas, and each area counts as much as it matters to buyers.
We read the best-of lists that test sites and magazines publish for this category and note which models they pick.
Every independent review of the model gets a grade from 1 to 10: the reviewer's own score when the page shows one (stars, x/10, test grade), otherwise a grade from the written verdict on a fixed scale.
We read what owners say in comments under video reviews and in forums, and sort each owner as happy, mixed or unhappy.
The technical score (35% of the overall score) is split into 5 areas. Each area has its own weight and its own set of specs.
Motor power, top speed, speed settings, stepless control, turbo boost and blade points decide how fast and smoothly the blender purées soups, sauces and smoothies; the brand sits here too.
When it matters: When you often blend hard or fibrous food like nuts, frozen fruit or thick vegetable soups.
6 specs explainedThe attachments in the box: how many there are, a chopper and beaker with their capacity, whisk, potato masher, milk frother, double beater, ice blade, storage stand and other extras.
When it matters: When you want one tool that also chops, whisks and mashes instead of buying extra gadgets.
11 specs explainedShaft, blade and body materials, a detachable shaft, splash guard, non-slip grip, BPA-free parts, an indicator light and the colour shape durability, comfort and looks.
When it matters: When you blend straight in hot pots or non-stick pans, or use the blender daily for years.
5 specs explainedCordless use, battery type, run time, charging time and a remaining-time display, plus dishwasher-safe parts, a safety lock and commercial-grade build, decide how easy the blender is to use and clean.
When it matters: When you want to blend away from a socket, clean up fast or use the blender many times a day.
6 specs explainedWeight, height, width and depth, and the power cord length decide how the blender feels in the hand, where it fits and how far it reaches from the socket.

The 10 specs that move the technical score the most. Impact = share within its area × the area's weight.
Which reviews count and how their grades become the review score.
Only independent reviews of that exact model: test sites, magazines and video reviewers in 6 languages. Retailer pages, brand-paid content, pure list pages and pages without a verdict are left out.
Since version 2.0, online user ratings no longer count towards the overall score in this category, and graded video reviews count next to written tests. Expert reviews compare models side by side and are harder to game than online user ratings.
