A blender: Wedges on the spinning blades chop up food
Wheel and axles (gears) inside connected to electric motor to adjust speed of spinning blades.

A compound machine is two or more simple machines put together.  Simple machines are 1. Lever
2. Inclined plane  3. Wheel and axle  4. Screw  5. Wedge  6. Pulley 7. Gears

Something as simple as an axe is a compound machine.  The handle is the lever and the blade is a wedge.  A wheelbarrow is a wheel and axle with a lever.
