    Father-in-law just got a Ninja...he said it's the best thing ever. Easy to clean, never leaks....but I have to be honest...I have a blender that is older than I am and it works just fine...as long as the seal is tight, the motor works, and the blades are sharp.

    I have an under $50.00 Hamilton Beach blender from Wal -Mart...it has an optional spout to put your glass under. I have used it for fruit smoothies and protein shakes. Doesnt work fast for ice but it does its job. Its for right handed people though...control 's on the right. :(

    Like several others have mentioned, I would highly recommend a Vitamix. I know it's over your mark of $125, but honestly, it pays for itself in no time and nothing compares to how smooth it makes your smoothies. With traditional blenders, if you try to blend up spinach, kale, or other leafy greens/vegetables, you will get a lot of chunks left in the smoothie.

    Here's a pretty good review I just found for the Vitamix 5200 if you want to check it out: http://www.charlottesvineyard.com/vitamix-5200-review/

    My Oster Osterizer (listed currently for $39.99) has lasted me as long as my marriage (16 years). I love it. It has been used and abused and keeps on going.

    I bought a Hamilton Beach blender that has a pour spout on the bottom of the container. It is great for my shakes, no messy pouring. Just tip the spout. The whole thing comes apart for cleaning. And, it was $20.
