Carry On Bags: Yes (Special Instructions)
Checked Bags: Yes
Blenders are allowed in carry-on bags if the blade has been removed.

Any sharp objects in checked bags should be sheathed or securely wrapped to prevent injury to baggage handlers and inspectors.[/quote]

So, take the blades off, wrap it in bubble wrap and plastic wrap and put the blades in your checked bag.  The blades will not be damaged in the checked bag.  Put the rest of the blender in your carry-on and you're good, but you might have to unpack it at the security check-point for inspection.[/quote]

If you're going to check luggage, what would be the advantage of not putting the entire blender in the checked luggage?  I don't like checking luggage, but once I am, the heavy things go there.
