I know the beat ones re the most expensive but I pretty much have a budget of 50 bucks. I made a smoothie this morning and I had chunks of spinach and pieces of orange through it and at one point I gagged on it :( blech. I'm thinking of buying a bullet. Anyone who has one have any comments on it? Any other suggestions?

    I have the nutribullet which is made by the same people I believe and it's amazing! No chunks at all (that would make me gag too!!)

    I have one that I got at Wal-Mart. We have put it to the test. It is put out by GE it has numerous glasses. I really like it and my kids and I have used it almost daily for 2 years now and it still works wonderfully.

    Same here. I love it! Get the Nutri-bullet, it's about $100 but worth it. You can buy it local which is cheaper than at their website. You can see the details at http://www.nutribullet.com/

    I sold a $100 kitchen-aid for $15 at my tagsale....check craigslist for "like new" items in your area. Lots of people buy those things or receive as a gift and find that they don't use them.

    On sale for $29.99
    Pretty much the exact same thing as the bullet. Works perfect for me.
    (Comes with 5 to go cups that you can blend in, a full size blender, and a juicer. Can chop big pieces of ice effectively with the big blade.)

    I would actually LOVE a juicer...so getting one that does both would be awesome.

    Oh. ): Yes you can, I bought mine at my local GNC.
    I believe they ship to Canada if you buy from their Ebay:

    Nope, I got mine for the reduced price in-store. I do have a Gold Card though. They were offering free membership here, they might still be doing that.

    I've had several and I believe the Osyter is by far the best for general purposes. You can find one in your price range. They an excellent blender and it's easy to get replacement parts or additional parts if you need or want them.

    I make smoothies every day. Don't have a crushed ice dispenser so I just toss in full sized ice cubes. This blender has been wonderful - it chops the ice without problem and I love it.

    I stopped at GNC and found the blender/juicer, but it's not on sale til sometime next week, she thinks on the 15th so she took one box and put my name on it and I'm gonna go back next week. Excited :D Now I just have to go easy on my blender til I get a new one lol. I was hoping to come home with one.

    Nutribullet, it is around $100, but it is worth the investment.
