What blender do you use?

[Kez]

My blender just died, again, and I'm looking for a decent replacement. I can't afford anything amazing like a vitamix, but I'd like the best bang for your buck blender I can find.

Any recommendations?

Anything under $150 is not worth buying.
The higher wattage motor the better.

I just bought a breville which has a wider base in the jug, very easy to clean.

I was hoping around the $200 mark. I've done a bit of research and Blendtec are up there with Vitamix, but only half the price. Could be worth saving for.

You don't need to spend $$$ for a blender.

This is what I use - The Rocket Blender

10 Second Rocket Blender - EUROLAB - Cooking Appliances

Easy to wash and very convenient. No need to pour into another cup. Just drink direct.

Here is a video demonstrating it's versatility.

Some Breville make, does the job well.

definitely don't get a magic bullet, they are bad compared to a decent brand like Vitamix/Breville of equal price.

I know this isn't really what your asking but http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/bbcom/tornado-mixer.html Bodybuilding.com - Bodybuilding.com Extreme Tornado Mixer - BPA Free! On sale now! these are so handy for mixing shakes at gym, they don't grind stuff up just for getting a smooth mix with 0 clumps.

Definitely recommend Vitamax for a blender

use it once or twice a day for shakes and food prep, faultless for 12+ months.

Heard a lot about that Sunbeam series in my searching. I'll probably get that one.

I have one, it's really good.

I've been using stick mixers lately too (they fit into most shaker bottles), because I'm too lazy to do the required manual shaking.

I went through 3 cheapo blenders and a food processor in 4 years... so then I decided to get the Vitamix. Best investment ever. I've made nut milks, nut butter, banana icecream using only frozen bananas (this killed my cheap blender!), fruit juices, sauces, everything!
