Nutribullet 600 Series — Best overall

The Nutribullet 600 Series is the benchmark personal blender in the Australian sub-A$100 category, and after several weeks of daily use it earns that reputation. Its 600W motor and cyclonic extraction blade combo liquefied frozen mango, kale stems, and a handful of almonds into a smooth smoothie in 45 seconds — noticeably faster than the 350W Philips HR2052, which left small flecks behind on the same load. The 600ml cup is the right size for a single serving or a pre-workout shake, and the included flip-top lid turns it into a portable drink without a second transfer. Build quality is solid for the price, with a thick plastic base that stays planted on the bench, though it is loud at full power — measured at roughly 95dB. Cleaning takes 30 seconds: rinse, add water and a drop of dish soap, run for 20 seconds, done. Compared to the Kmart Anko A$39 model, the Nutribullet’s blade geometry and tighter motor tolerances deliver visibly smoother results, especially with fibrous ingredients. The main trade-off is capacity — families batching 1L+ smoothies will outgrow the single cup, in which case the Russell Hobbs RHB02 jug blender is a better fit. For one or two users wanting nutrient-dense smoothies, protein shakes, or baby food daily, the Nutribullet 600 Series at A$89 is the best value in Australia.

Pros:

• Fastest blend time in the sub-A$100 category
• Cup doubles as a travel mug with flip-top lid
• 30-second rinse-and-run cleaning
• Proven long-term reliability with thousands of Australian reviews

Cons:

• Single 600ml cup limits batch size
• Loud at full power
• No speed or pulse control

2. Russell Hobbs RHB02 Desire Matte Black Blender — Best jug blender

Price: 69 | Rating: 4.3/5 | Available at: thegoodguys.com.au

The Russell Hobbs RHB02 Desire is the strongest jug blender in this price bracket, with an 800W motor that outmuscles every other model reviewed here. The 1.5L thermal-shock glass jug is the standout — you can take it from a fridge-cold smoothie base straight to a warm soup cycle without cracking, and the glass resists turmeric and beetroot staining far better than the Kmart Anko’s plastic jug. The four stainless-steel blades crushed 200g of ice into snow in 12 seconds, and it handled a full 1.2L load of frozen berries and yoghurt in under 90 seconds. The two-speed plus pulse dial is intuitive, and the non-slip feet keep the 3.5kg unit stable at full throttle. Downsides: at 97dB it is the loudest model tested, and the 1.7kg empty jug is a chore to lift one-handed. For households making family-sized smoothies, soups, or frozen cocktails, the RHB02 at A$69 is excellent value.

Pros:

• Highest wattage in the roundup at 800W
• Glass jug resists stains and thermal shock
• Crushed 200g of ice in 12 seconds in testing

Cons:

• Loudest model tested at 97dB
• Heavy glass jug (1.7kg empty)
• Lid can be fiddly to seat correctly

3. Philips Daily Collection HR2052/01 Blender — Best for soups

Price: 79 | Rating: 4.4/5 | Available at: amazon.com.au

The Philips HR2052 is the most refined sub-A$100 blender for purées, smoothies, and warm soups, with a 350W motor that punches above its wattage thanks to the ProBlend 4-star blade. It produced the smoothest pumpkin soup of any model tested — visibly silkier than the Kmart Anko at the same price of ingredients. The 1.25L jug is a sensible mid-size, and the 17cm wide footprint slips into tight benchtops where the Kogan stainless model will not fit. Pulse mode gives meaningful control for chunky salsas or pesto, where the Nutribullet’s fixed-speed operation cannot. The trade-off is raw power: 350W struggles with very hard frozen fruit, and you need to thaw mango or banana for 10 minutes before blending. For Australian households prioritising soup and smoothie quality over ice-crushing, the HR2052 at A$79 is a smart buy backed by Philips’ 2-year local warranty.

Pros:

• Smoothest purée results in testing
• Compact 17cm footprint for small kitchens
• 2-year Philips Australia warranty

Cons:

• 350W motor needs thawed fruit for best results
• No tamper or measuring cup in the box
• Plastic jug scratches faster than glass

4. Kmart Anko 1.5L Blender — Best budget pick

Price: 39 | Rating: 4.0/5 | Available at: kmart.com.au

Kmart’s Anko 1.5L Blender is a genuine A$39 blender that does what it says on the box — for a while. The 600W motor handled basic fruit smoothies and pancake batter without complaint, and the 1.5L capacity matches the Russell Hobbs RHB02 at less than half the price. The two-speed plus pulse layout is simple and family-friendly. However, build compromises are visible: the plastic jug stained yellow from a single turmeric blend, blade assembly tolerances vary between units, and the motor heated up noticeably after three back-to-back blends. It is a fine secondary or starter blender for a student kitchen, but anyone blending daily should stretch to the Nutribullet 600 or Russell Hobbs RHB02 for a longer service life.

Pros:

• Cheapest blender from a major Australian retailer at A$39
• 1.5L capacity matches premium models
• Available for click-and-collect at 300+ Kmart stores

Cons:

• Plastic jug stains quickly from turmeric and beetroot
• Motor overheats on back-to-back blends
• Blade quality varies between units

5. Kogan 1.5L Stainless Steel Blender — Best for ice crushing

Price: 59 | Rating: 4.1/5 | Available at: kogan.com

The Kogan 1.5L Stainless Steel Blender stands out for one reason: a dedicated ice-crush function that genuinely works. In testing, it pulverised 250g of ice into a uniform snow in 10 seconds, faster than the Russell Hobbs RHB02 on its standard setting. The stainless steel housing looks more premium than the A$59 price, and the non-slip base kept the unit stable during full-power runs. The trade-offs are practical: you cannot see inside the opaque metal jug, so you have to stop and lift the lid to check consistency, and replacement jugs are difficult to source outside Kogan’s own website. It is also loud at 98dB on ice-crush mode. For Australian households that regularly make frozen margaritas, daiquiris, or frappés and prefer a metal finish, the Kogan at A$59 is a strong specialist pick.

Pros:

• Dedicated ice-crush mode is the fastest tested
• Premium-looking stainless steel housing
• Non-slip base keeps unit stable

Cons:

• Opaque jug means no visibility during blending
• Replacement jugs hard to source
• 98dB on ice-crush mode is loud

How to choose

When choosing a blender under A$100 in Australia, focus on four criteria. First, motor wattage: 350W handles soups and soft fruit, but 600W+ is essential for crushing ice, frozen berries, and fibrous vegetables like kale. Second, jug material — glass resists stains and heat but weighs more; plastic is lighter but scratches and discolours over time. Third, capacity and form factor: personal blenders like the Nutribullet 600 (600ml) suit single users, while 1.25–1.5L jug models like the Russell Hobbs RHB02 or Kogan are better for families. Fourth, warranty and local support — Philips and Russell Hobbs offer 2-year Australian warranties, while Kmart and Kogan provide 12-month coverage. Also check the retailer’s Australian stock: Amazon.com.au, The Good Guys, Kmart, and Kogan all ship nationwide, but warranty claims are easier with Australian-domestic brands. If you mainly make smoothies, prioritise a 600W+ personal blender; for soups and family batches, choose a 1.25L+ jug model with at least 600W.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best blender under A$100 in Australia?

The Nutribullet 600 Series at A$89 is the best all-rounder, with a 600W motor, 600ml cup, and proven cyclonic extraction that handles smoothies, protein shakes, and ice in under 60 seconds. It has over 1,200 Australian reviews averaging 4.5 stars.

Can you get a good blender for under A$50 in Australia?

Yes — the Kmart Anko 1.5L Blender at A$39 has a 600W motor and 1.5L jug, making it the cheapest blender from a major Australian retailer. It is fine for casual smoothies but not built for daily heavy use.

Are cheap blenders from Kmart and Kogan worth buying?

Budget Kmart and Kogan blenders (A$39–A$59) are worth buying as starter or secondary blenders. However, they use lower-grade plastics and less consistent blade assemblies, so the Russell Hobbs RHB02 at A$69 or Nutribullet 600 at A$89 offer better long-term value for daily blending.

How many watts do I need in a blender to crush ice?

You need at least 500W to crush ice reliably in an Australian household blender. The Nutribullet 600 (600W), Russell Hobbs RHB02 (800W), and Kogan 1.5L Stainless Steel (600W with dedicated ice mode) all crush ice effectively, while the 350W Philips HR2052 is slower on large frozen loads.

Is a Nutribullet better than a traditional jug blender?

A Nutribullet is better for single-serve smoothies, protein shakes, and nutrient extraction thanks to its cyclonic blade design. A jug blender like the Russell Hobbs RHB02 is better for family-sized batches, soups, and frozen drinks. Most Australian households with 1–2 people prefer the Nutribullet; families of 3+ benefit from a jug model.

Do these blenders come with an Australian warranty?

Philips offers a 2-year Australian warranty on the HR2052, Russell Hobbs offers 2 years on the RHB02, and Nutribullet offers 1 year. Kmart Anko and Kogan both provide a 12-month warranty, with Kogan offering Australian-based customer support for faster claims.

Where can I buy these blenders in Australia?

All five blenders are available from Amazon.com.au, and the Russell Hobbs RHB02 is also stocked at The Good Guys and Harvey Norman. The Kmart Anko is sold at 300+ Kmart stores and kmart.com.au, while the Kogan 1.5L Stainless Steel is sold exclusively at kogan.com with free shipping over A$50.

How do I clean a blender properly?

Add warm water and a drop of dish soap to the jug or cup, run the blender for 20–30 seconds, then rinse. For the Nutribullet 600, this whole process takes under a minute. For glass jug models like the Russell Hobbs RHB02, the jug, lid, and blade assembly are all dishwasher-safe on the top rack.

How we chose

We evaluated 14 blenders sold in Australia at or below A$100, drawing on Australian retail listings from Amazon.com.au, The Good Guys, Kmart, Kogan, and Harvey Norman checked in early 2025. Each blender was scored on five criteria: motor wattage, jug capacity and material, blend performance (smoothies, ice crushing, soups), build quality and warranty, and verified Australian customer reviews with a minimum of 100 reviews. We blended standardised loads of frozen mango, kale, almonds, 200g of ice, and pumpkin soup in the top five models to compare results. Prices were verified on the day of publication and include GST but exclude delivery. Blenders that were out of stock at all major Australian retailers for more than 30 days were excluded, as were refurbished units and parallel imports not sold with an Australian warranty.
