I've had a VitaMix for 10 yrs......before that I burned up three $50-100 blenders.
You can pick them up at Costco for $300-400, so it's not the scary $600 number anymore. That's still a sh!itload of money for a blender, but it's one of those "buy once & cry once" kind of deals. You'll never need to buy another one, and you'll always be happy with the performance. |

Nutribullet has a new model with a glass carafe (earlier models were plastic, so you couldn't put anything hot in them).
I use my Nutribullet everyday. Works great, $80, much easier to clean than a blender. |

+1 on vitamix.
My wife bought one years ago and makes everything from smoothies to almond butter with the thing. Also had good experience with customer service. Had a crack in the container after years of heavy use; called vitamix and they replaced with no fuss at no charge. |

Ended up ordering a basic blendtec. On sale through today refurbished with a 7 year warranty directly from blendtec for $229. About double what the little women wanted to spend, But $100 or so less than a Vitamix 5200 refurb.

Vitamix. You can often find refurbs on Groupon for much less than new.

I went with a Ninja. Yea I have read the bad reviews on them too but this one has lasted 6 months now with 2 teenagers using it almost everyday. |

Vitamix, you can buy refurb direct from their webpage which includes a warranty which you can also extend... I liked my Ninja, until I tried a Vitamix. I cannot imagine not having it now. I honestly think it could puree a brick! You can pretty easily find one sub $300

Note to self: When the cleaning instructions say '1 cup of hot water and a couple drops of soap' - this should not be interpreted to mean 36 oz of hot water and a teaspoon of soap.
And hold on to the lid.
