Best Blender?

[iastatehunter]

I've been looking for a blender recently but haven't found anything that just wows me. The closet one is the Ninja BL660. http://www.amazon.com/SharkNinja-BL660-Ninja-Professional-Blender/dp/B00939FV8K

Looking to spend under $125. Anyone have a recommendation? Would be using mostly for smoothies or margs.

I've never used the Ninja before, but is it really worth $100? I mean, it's a freaking blender.
I make a fruit smoothie every morning and I use a $20 blender and it works perfect. I've been using it everyday for a couple of years and it still works like new. Does the Ninja allow you to blend concrete and bricks and other material you will never eat? Does it blend faster, so instead of pushing the button for 15 seconds, you only need to blend it for 5 seconds? I just can't justify spending over $100 on a blender.

Vitamix and it isn't even close.

Gave the Ninja away, but it was ok. The Vitamix is an A+ kitchen appliance

See how long that $20 blender works when you are making smoothies and drinks. There is a reason bars don't use $20 blenders, they all have vitamix's.

Well, I've been using it every morning for more than 2 years and it still works fine.

Got a Blendtech, very happy. Pretty sure that is above your price point though.

Lot's of folks these days confuse price with value. #blendersnobs

You could just buy 10 of the $20 blenders and still save $200.

As a bachelor I practiced the disposable blender method, probably owned 12-15 different cheap models and was just fine with it. The wife didn't love that idea and sprung for the Ninja you linked with wedding gift cards, it's been great so far, we use it nearly daily for smoothies and it gets lots of use from mixed drinks as well. I'm pretty impressed with it but like I said, my previous experience is with the cheapest, crappiest blenders on the market.

I only buy my blenders with cash.

I bought mine on a 30 year loan and am investing the rest. I can glean a 4% spread on the loan (or 9% if I use Ramsey's 13% growth funds).

I agree. I bought a refurbished Vitamix off the Target website and have used it every single day. It's a beast and works great.

We got a Breville for our wedding 7.5 years ago, I use almost daily and it's awesome. The best part is that it is easy to clean, no disassembly.

People actually buy $600 blenders?
