Soup Maker Is the Lone Best Glass Jar Blender to Say Borosilicate

1. BLACK+DECKER Countertop Blender with 6-Cup Glass Jar, BL2010BG — Best Budget

The best seller on the page says the least about its glass and the most about cleaning it.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

This is the most popular blender on the page by a distance. At #891 overall and #8 in Countertop Blenders, it is the only one of the ten inside the top 1,000 overall. It is also the lowest-priced. And its listing says less about its glass than almost any other: the title gives “6-Cup Glass Jar” and no bullet comes back to the jar except to say it can be washed.

The cleaning line is the broadest here. “DISHWASHER-SAFE PARTS: Every removable part is safe to clean in the dishwasher”. That covers the jar, and by its own wording the lid and the removable blade too. Only four listings on the page make a dishwasher statement at all, and only this one and the REXYHOME spell out which parts beyond the glass it covers. For a glass jar, that matters: a heavy jar is the awkward thing to scrub by hand.

It is the only listing that gives both peak and continuous watts. “The blender reaches 550 watts of power at peak performance*, and 350 watts of power for continuous use”. The bullet’s heading says “552 WATTS”, a two-watt mismatch with the text beneath it, and the asterisk is not explained. But the continuous figure is the useful one. Every other wattage on the page is a peak, a headline or an undefined figure, so 350 watts continuous is not a weak number next to them; it is the only like-for-like rating anyone gives. Expect it to be slower on ice and frozen fruit than the 1200W class, and plan on adding liquid first.

Two of its fields disagree on speeds. The title says “10-Speed Settings”; the first bullet says “12 SPEED SETTINGS WITH PULSE”. The part number is BL2010BG and the model field BL2010BG-1, which reads as a revision of the same model. The blade is a “4-Point multi-level removable stainless steel blade”, and the removable blade is what makes the dishwasher claim practical, since the seal and blade come away from the glass.

Hot use is not addressed. The listing names “soups, purees” among its uses, but says nothing about hot liquids, thermal shock or the glass type. Read that as a reason to follow the manual closely: let hot soup cool before it goes in, fill below the manual’s maximum, and start on low. The manual includes “a helpful troubleshooting chart”, says the listing.

What to weigh. It is sold by Amazon.com and lists 6.3 pounds for the whole unit, the second-lightest figure here. The jar’s weight and lid material are not stated. Against the Oster Pro, you give up the thermal-shock claim, the warranty and most of the headline power, and keep the same 6 cups and a broader dishwasher statement.

Best for: A budget buyer who blends cold smoothies and sauces and wants every removable part in the dishwasher.

2. Oster Pro 1200 Smoothie Blender with Glass Jar and 24 oz To-Go Cup, BLSTMB-CBG-000 — Best Overall

The only big-brand listing that puts a thermal-shock claim on its jar, and it says the jar can go in the dishwasher.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

This is the clearest glass statement from a mainstream brand on the page. The bullet reads “6 cup dishwasher safe Boroclass glass jar withstands thermal shock”, and the listing repeats it word for word further down. In one line it gives you the capacity, the cleaning instruction and a temperature claim. Of the other nine listings, only the ASTRALSHIP makes a thermal-shock claim too, and only three others say the jar can go in the dishwasher.

Boroclass is a name, not a material. It reads like a nod to borosilicate, the low-expansion glass used in lab ware and some bakeware, but the listing never says borosilicate and never says tempered. What it does say is the part that matters in use: the jar “withstands thermal shock”, meaning a quick change of temperature. That is a stronger promise than the plain “glass” on seven listings here, or the Arcblin’s “tempered”, which is a strength treatment rather than a temperature promise. It still has limits the listing does not give, so the manual’s hot-liquid instructions are the ones to follow, and the safe habit with any glass jar is to avoid the biggest swings, such as boiling liquid into a jar straight from the fridge.

The power figures come with two labels. “1200 power watts and 900 watts of ice crushing power”. Neither is described as continuous, so the 1200 figure is best read as the motor’s headline number rather than what it draws for a whole minute of blending. Even so, the 900 watt ice figure alone is higher than the peak figures on the Hamilton Beach, the Oster Vortex and the BLACK+DECKER BL2010BG. The blade is “Extra wide 3.5”” and “blends in forward and reverse motion”, and Oster says it is “50% larger” than its previous blade systems. For ice-heavy recipes our blender for crushing ice guide sets the motors side by side.

The warranty covers the part that usually fails first. “Oster 10 year Duralast all metal drive limited warranty”. The drive is the coupling between motor and jar, and an all-metal one is less likely to strip than a plastic coupling. The listing does not say whether the warranty covers the jar or the motor. It is still the longest stated warranty term on the page, against five years on the ASTRALSHIP, three on the Hamilton Beach and one on the REXYHOME.

What it does not say. The lid and the 24 oz smoothie cup have no stated material, so the glass jar does not make this a plastic-free blender. The jar’s own weight is not given; the whole product lists 7.0 pounds. The manufacturer field reads “China”, and the cord is 16 inches, short enough to plan the blender’s spot near a socket. The size field says “24 oz”, which is the cup, not the jar.

What to weigh. It is sold by Amazon.com and ranks #2,245 overall and #14 in Countertop Blenders, second on the page. It is the second most expensive blender here. Against the best-ranked BLACK+DECKER, the step up buys a stated thermal-shock claim, more than twice the headline watts and a 10-year drive warranty; the jar is the same 6 cups.

Best for: A buyer who wants a 6-cup glass jar with a thermal-shock claim and dishwasher safety in writing, from a familiar brand.

3. Oster Classic Series 8-Speed Blender with 6-Cup Glass Jar, BLSTMEGG00000 — Best Simple Oster

A best-seller whose listing is five one-line attributes, and the only one that names a plastic part.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

This listing reads like a form somebody filled in. Its five bullets are “Color: Gray”, “Base Material: Plastic”, “Blade Material: Stainless Steel”, “Jar Material: Glass” and “Ice Crushing Button: Yes”. There is no wattage, no dishwasher statement, no temperature claim and no description of the lid. The title adds “8-Speed” and “6-Cup Glass Jar”. That is all.

Yet it is the third-best seller on the page. #2,857 overall and #15 in Countertop Blenders. The three best-ranked blenders here are all 6-cup glass jars from long-established brands, and two of the three give no glass type at all. Buyers seem to be choosing the format and the name, not the specification.

It is the only listing that names a plastic part of the machine. “Base Material: Plastic” describes the motor housing, which never touches food. That is useful honesty about the build, but it says nothing about the lid or the blade collar, the parts that do touch food. No listing on the page describes those. If you are buying glass to cut plastic contact, this blender, like the others, needs a question to the seller or a look at the manual.

The missing wattage is the biggest gap. Nine of ten listings give a watt figure of some kind; this is the tenth. The ice-crushing button suggests it is built for frozen drinks, but there is nothing to compare its motor against the 550 to 1500 watts claimed elsewhere. The colour field reads “No Color” against a title that says gray, and the warranty field just says “Warranty”. The release date is 8 June 2025.

What to weigh. It is sold by Amazon.com and lists 6.78 pounds for the whole product. Its model number, BLSTMEGG00000, shares the BLSTM prefix with the Oster Pro 1200’s BLSTMB-CBG-000, but the two titles describe different machines: 8 speeds here, 7 speeds and 3 programs plus a smoothie cup on the Pro. If you want an Oster 6-cup glass jar with the thermal-shock claim and dishwasher safety in writing, that is the Pro.

Best for: A buyer who wants a plain, widely bought Oster with a 6-cup glass jar and does not need the specification on paper.

4. Hamilton Beach Blender and Food Processor Combo with 40 oz Glass Jar, 58163 — Best Combo Kit

The smallest jar here, and one of only two listings that names hot liquids in writing.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

This is the only big-brand listing that puts hot liquids in writing. “DURABLE 40 OZ. GLASS JAR: The glass blending jar on this blender is designed to withstand extreme temperatures. It is perfect for blending both ice-cold drinks, like fruit smoothies and protein shakes, and hot liquids.” It names no glass type and makes no thermal-shock claim. But “hot liquids” is a specific use, and only the ASTRALSHIP is as explicit.

The jar is the smallest on the page. 40 oz against 48 oz for the 6-cup jars by our arithmetic, and 50 to 67 oz on the larger ones. For hot liquids, a smaller jar is not all bad: you will fill it less, and a hot fill well below the top is the safe habit with any blender. For smoothies for more than two people, it is tight. The lid has “a patented, no-mess pour spout” that “can also be used for streaming in oils”, which suits dressings and mayonnaise; the listing does not say what the lid is made of.

It is three appliances in one box. “This food processor blender combo includes a 40 oz. glass blending jar, 20 oz. blend-in blender travel jar for on the go and a 3 cup vegetable chopper attachment for slicing, shredding, chopping and more.” The item count is four. Our blender food processor combo guide compares this format in depth. The travel jar and chopper materials are not stated.

The motor is modest and labelled as peak. “With 700 watts of peak power”, it is in the lower half of the page by stated figures. The “patented Wave~Action(R) System” “pulls the mixture down into the blades”, a jar-and-blade design claim rather than a power one.

What it does not say. There is no dishwasher statement for the jar or any part, which on a glass jar is a meaningful gap. The listing gives no jar weight; the whole kit is 7.7 pounds. The title says 58163 and the model field 58163J, which reads as a variant code for the same model.

What to weigh. It is sold by Amazon.com, ranks #10,182 overall and #30 in Countertop Blenders, and carries a three-year warranty. Against the Oster Pro, it names hot liquids where the Oster says thermal shock, adds a chopper, and gives up 8 oz of jar and the dishwasher line.

Best for: A small household that wants a glass jar it can blend hot soup in, plus a chopper and a travel jar.

5. Oster Vortex Glass Blender, Reversible Steel Blades, 800 Watt, 2255415 — Best Shatter-Resistant Claim

The only “shatter-resistant” glass on the page, with four asterisks the listing never resolves.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

This jar makes the most claims of any on the page, and qualifies most of them. “54 oz*** Shatter-Resistant Glass Jar: The jar for the kitchen blender stands up to extreme temperatures****, and is stain- and odor-resistant.” Shatter-resistant is a claim nobody else here makes. Stain- and odour-resistant is a real advantage of glass over plastic, worth having in writing if you blend turmeric or tomato. But the capacity carries three asterisks, the temperature claim four, and the drive’s “10x-stronger**” two, and the footnotes were not part of the listing data we captured.

So treat the temperature claim with care. “Extreme temperatures” with a footnote attached usually means a condition, such as letting hot food cool first or a fill limit. We cannot tell you which. The listing names no glass type, makes no thermal-shock claim and does not mention hot liquids. The manual will set the rule; until you have read it, use this jar like any glass jar with hot food, which means cooled, below half full and lid vented.

Cleaning and blade are clearly described. “Easy to Clean: The removable blade and dishwasher-safe parts make cleanup simple.” It is one of four listings with a dishwasher statement, though “parts” is less specific than naming the jar. The blade is “100% stainless steel”, it “spins in both directions to create perfect textures and help prevent jams”, and it comes out of the jar.

The motor claim comes with a lifespan. “800 Peak-Watt Motor: Easily pulverize ice and grind grains with a motor built to last up to 10,000 blends.” That is the only stated lifespan on the page. At two blends a day it is more than 13 years, by our arithmetic. The iBlend auto programs cover milkshake, smoothie and salsa.

What to weigh. It is sold by Amazon.com and ranks #12,858 overall, fifth on the page, but Amazon ranks it #470 in Small Appliances rather than in Countertop Blenders, so its category rank cannot be read against the others. No weight is listed for the jar or the whole unit. The model field is 2255415 and the manufacturer field Newell Brands. Against the Oster Pro, it gives you 6 more ounces of jar and a shatter-resistant claim, and gives up the thermal-shock line.

Best for: A smoothie and salsa maker who wants a mid-size glass jar that resists stains and goes in the dishwasher.

6. ASTRALSHIP 1500W Professional Glass Blender with Heating, ASH01-Pro — Best for Hot Soups

The one listing that names its glass, and the one jar designed to have food cooked in it.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

Borosilicate appears once on this page, and this is where. “Engineered with an 800W built-in heater and a thermal-shock resistant high borosilicate glass pitcher (59 oz cold / 47 oz hot).” That sentence names a glass type, makes a thermal claim and gives two capacities, one for cold food and one for hot. None of the other nine does all three, and none gives a hot capacity at all. The hot figure is about 80% of the cold one, by our arithmetic, and the difference is headroom: hot liquid expands, steams and churns more than cold.

It has to be specific, because it cooks in the jar. This is a heating blender, sold as a “HOT SOUP MAKER” that will “Cook fresh hot soups, baby food, and hot jams directly in the jar”. The nut milk program uses “212°F boiling and intermittent blending”, and a keep-warm mode holds 122–194°F for up to six hours. A jar that sits at boiling point and is then rinsed out has to cope with exactly the kind of temperature swing that cracks ordinary glass, so the borosilicate line is doing real work here. For the nut milk side of the machine, see our blender for nut milk guide.

It is the heaviest and tallest blender here. The first bullet is a warning: “Pre-Purchase Note – This Heavy-duty blender high-capacity appliance has a total assembled height of 18.7 Inch (48 cm) and weighs a solid 11 lbs (5 kg).” The spec table says 18.0 inches and 10.0 pounds. Either way it will not fit under most wall cabinets, which typically leave around 18 inches above the worktop, and it is one of two blenders on the page at 10 pounds or more. The jar’s own weight is not given, but with a heater in the system you should plan on lifting a heavier jar than on a plain blender.

The motor and programs are the most extensive on the page. “Powered by a heavy-duty 1500W motor” with an “8-blade 304 stainless steel” assembly, 14 presets from Nut Milk to Slushie and Auto Clean, nine manual speeds, a tamper and a 24-hour delay timer. The listing also states “safety-lock lid detection, high-altitude calibration, and thermal overheat protection”. The title calls the jar “BPA-Free Glass”; glass does not contain BPA in any case, and the listing does not describe the lid.

Cleaning is a cycle, not a dishwasher line. “Features a hassle-free self-cleaning function that heats water to 158°F (70°C).” The listing does not say the jar can go in a dishwasher, and on a heating blender it is reasonable to assume it may not; check the manual before you try.

What to weigh. It is sold by Lunar Human Project, not Amazon.com, and ranks #14,375 overall and #34 in Countertop Blenders, sixth on the page. It is the most expensive blender here and carries a 5-year limited warranty. If you want to blend hot soup in glass, this is the only listing that names the glass and tells you how much hot food it takes.

Best for: A cook who wants to make hot soups and nut milk in a glass jar whose type and hot capacity are both stated.

7. REXYHOME 700W Blender with 50 oz Glass Jar, RX-802 — Lightest Unit

The lightest listed blender on the page, and the clearest list of what goes in the dishwasher.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

It is the lightest blender on the page with a credible listed weight. 5.86 pounds for the whole unit, against 6.3 for the BL2010BG and 10.03 for the larger GDOR. The jar’s share of that is not stated, but a light total is a reasonable sign that the jar is not the heaviest here. For a buyer who worries about lifting glass, that is the most useful figure on the listing.

The dishwasher statement names three parts. “The glass jar, lid, and blade of this smoothie blender are all dishwasher-safe”. Only the BL2010BG’s “Every removable part” is as broad. Naming the lid matters, because the lid is where a glass blender’s plastic usually is, and lids are the part most likely to warp in a hot dishwasher if they are not rated for it.

The capacity is stated twice, and the two agree. “Generous 50oz glass pitcher” in one bullet, and “1500ml glass jar” in the kit list. 1500 ml is about 50.7 US fluid ounces, by our arithmetic, so the figures match. Nothing is said about the glass type or hot use, though the listing names “creamy soups” among its uses.

The speeds do not agree. The heading says “Easy to Use with 3 Speeds”; the text beneath says “2 speed settings and pulse function”. Read it as two speeds plus pulse. The motor is “700W powerful copper motor”, the same figure as the Hamilton Beach but not labelled as peak, with a “6-blade stainless steel system”.

The base is stainless steel, by the kit list. “Includes: stainless steel base, 1500ml glass jar, lid, 6-blade assembly and manual”. That is a housing material, like the Oster Classic’s plastic base, and does not touch food. The listing also states “a secure locking system, non-slip suction feet, and low-noise operation”, without a decibel figure; our quiet blender roundup looks at noise claims across the category.

What to weigh. It is sold by REXY official, ranks #17,429 overall and #43 in Countertop Blenders, and has a 1-year warranty, the shortest stated term here. It is the second lowest-priced blender on the page. Against the BL2010BG, it gives you 2 more ounces of jar, a 700W figure and a lighter unit, and gives up the best rank and the brand.

Best for: A buyer who wants a light, easy-to-clean 50 oz glass blender for cold drinks and sauces on a modest budget.

8. GDOR Smoothie Blender with 52 oz Glass Jar and 22 oz To-Go Cup, SF701 — Best Jar and Cup Pair

A 1200W blender with a large jar and a to-go cup, and a listing that says glass and little else about it.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

The jar is described in general terms. “The 52 oz glass jar is made of sturdy and durable glass material that is strong enough for any blending or food processing task.” Strong enough for any task is a broad claim, but it is about blending strength, not temperature. There is no glass type, no thermal-shock line and no hot-liquid statement. With a glass jar that gives no temperature guidance, the manual’s instructions for warm food are the ones to follow.

The capacity is the third-largest here. 52 oz, behind 67 oz on the other GDOR and 59 oz cold on the ASTRALSHIP. The listing says it will make “up to 6 shakes at a time”. A full 52 oz of liquid weighs about 3.4 pounds on its own, by our arithmetic, before the glass, which is worth thinking about when you pour from it one-handed.

The power figure is high, the controls are simple. “With a 1200W powerful motor”, it matches the Oster Pro’s headline figure, and the listing does not say whether 1200W is peak. Control is “2 speed settings” plus pulse, which gives full blade speed for ice. For smoothies, our blender for smoothies roundup compares motors and jar sizes across a wider field.

Cleaning is a rinse cycle. “Pour a little warm soapy water into the jar and turn the knob to the ‘P’ position for a few seconds”. That is useful, but it is not a dishwasher statement, and the listing never says whether the glass jar or lid can go in a dishwasher. The “22 oz To-go Cup” has no stated material; for cup-first blending, see our personal blender roundup.

What to weigh. It is sold by GdorDirect, ranks #24,116 overall and #49 in Countertop Blenders, and lists 7.8 pounds for the whole unit. No warranty is stated. Its model number, SF701, is unrelated to the other GDOR’s OK1575A2, and the two listings describe different machines. Against the REXYHOME, it adds 2 ounces of jar, a to-go cup and a higher watt figure, and gives up the dishwasher statement and nearly two pounds of lightness.

Best for: A household that blends cold smoothies in big batches and wants a to-go cup in the same box.

View on Amazon

9. GDOR Blender for Kitchen, 1300W Glass Blender with 67 oz Jar and 6 Presets, OK1575A2 — Largest Jar

The biggest glass jar on the page comes with the page’s clearest hint to keep it away from hot food.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

This is the largest jar here, and the listing steers it to cold food. “This smoothie blender comes with a durable and healthy 67 oz glass jar, ideal for blending cold or room-temperature ingredients.” No other listing limits its glass that way. It does not forbid hot food in words, but when a seller chooses to describe the jar as ideal for cold or room-temperature use and says nothing about hot, the sensible reading is that hot soup belongs in a different blender, or at least waits until the manual says otherwise.

“Healthy” is the listing’s word, not ours. The listing does not explain what makes the jar healthy, and we make no health claim for glass beyond what each listing states. What glass does offer, on every blender here, is a jar that does not scratch or hold stains the way plastic can. The to-go cup is the part with a materials claim: “Crafted from 100% BPA-free food-grade materials to prevent chemical leaching.” The main jar’s lid is not described.

It is the heaviest blender with a single weight figure. 10.03 pounds for the whole product. Add a full 67 oz of liquid, about 4.4 pounds by our arithmetic, and the jar and its contents are a serious lift even before the glass is counted. The listing does not say what the jar weighs on its own. If you plan to pour from a full jar often, the size is a cost as well as a benefit.

The motor and controls are the most programmable after the ASTRALSHIP. “Its 1300W peak power output” from a “high-torque pure copper motor”, 6 presets that “combine unique pulsing and pausing patterns”, and “a 10–90s manual timer”. The jar has “Upper and lower safety locks” to prevent accidental starts. The auto clean mode “sanitizes the jar and blades in just 70 seconds”, but there is no dishwasher statement.

What to weigh. It is sold by GdorDirect and ranks #30,644 overall and #64 in Countertop Blenders, the second-lowest rank on the page. No warranty is stated. For big batches of cold drinks for a crowd, it is the biggest glass jar here; for anything hot, the ASTRALSHIP and the Hamilton Beach are the listings that say yes.

Best for: A host who blends cold drinks and frozen cocktails for a crowd and wants the biggest glass jar on the page.

View on Amazon

10. Arcblin Glass Blender with 51 oz Tempered Glass Jar, 1100W Peak, CDZZJBK — Only Tempered Glass

The one listing that says tempered glass, on the shortest blender here, with a candid line about ice.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

This is the only listing on the page that says tempered. “51 OZ HEAVY-DUTY TEMPERED GLASS JAR” heads the first bullet, which goes on: “Made from BPA-free, odor- and stain-resistant tempered glass, it ensures every batch tastes clean and fresh.” With the ASTRALSHIP’s borosilicate, that makes two of ten listings that name a glass type at all.

Tempered is about strength, not heat. Tempering is a heat treatment that toughens glass against knocks and makes it break into small pieces rather than sharp shards if it does fail. It is a different property from the low expansion that lets borosilicate shrug off fast temperature changes. The Arcblin listing makes no thermal-shock claim, does not mention hot liquids and does not name soup among its uses. So the word tells you something real about the jar, but not that it is made for hot food; for that, follow the manual, and let warm food cool before it goes in.

The power line is unusually candid. “500W MOTOR WITH UP TO 1100W PEAK POWER”. The title quotes only the 1100W. The listing does not call the 500W continuous, but giving a motor figure beside the peak is more than most listings here do; only the BL2010BG, with 350 watts continuous, is clearer. It also sets limits: frozen fruit is fine “when used with enough liquid”, and “For frozen drinks, add liquid first and use small ice cubes or crushed ice in small batches.” That is a blender for everyday smoothies and sauces, not a heavy ice crusher.

It is the shortest blender on the page. The spec table gives 12.0 inches high, against 13.5 inches on the BL2010BG and 18 inches or more on the ASTRALSHIP, so it should sit under wall cabinets with room to spare. The jar holds 51 oz, which the listing says is “over 6x the amount of a standard glass (8 oz)”. The weight field gives a figure far too light for a blender with a 51 oz glass jar, so we leave it out; the jar’s own weight is not stated either.

Cleaning is by hand, as described. “The stainless steel blade assembly can be removed for more thorough cleaning. Rinse the jar, lid, and blade assembly with warm soapy water after use”. There is no dishwasher statement. The removable blade helps, since the seal comes away from the glass. The lid is mentioned but its material is not, so the BPA-free line covers the glass, which contains no BPA in any case, and not the lid.

What to weigh. It is sold by Arcblin Direct and ranks #42,931 overall and #82 in Countertop Blenders, the lowest rank on the page. No warranty is stated. The listing also states a “built-in safety interlock”, “Non-slip suction feet” and a “thermal protection system”. Against the REXYHOME, it gives you a named glass type, a removable blade and a lower profile, and gives up a stated dishwasher line and a usable weight.

Best for: A buyer with low wall cabinets who wants a named, toughened glass jar for everyday cold smoothies and sauces.
