    I bought a Bella at Target for $18 and have used it daily for my kale smoothies for 6 months and it is still going strong.

    Invest in the Vitamix. I had a Ninja and it was good, but it did not compare at all to the Vitamix. It's worth the investment if you make alot of smoothies and raw recipes!
    ^ This. Love my Vitamix. It's the ONLY small appliance in our house used every single day, and the ONLY one to receive it's own place on the counter. Everything else is relegated to the appliance cupboard.

    I bought a Nutribullet (made by Magic Bullet) recently and I love it. I have been making green smoothies every day for about 2 weeks now. It is very powerful and has that extra "oomph" that the Magic Bullet doesn't have. The only drawback is that the cup does not fit many different ingredients at once because it is not as big as a blender. You could always halve the ingredients and then mix twice. If you want a full size blender, I'd recommend the Vitamix or Blendtec, but they are pricey. If you decide on the Nutribullet, get a coupon to Kohl's or Bed, Bath, & Beyond to get a good discount. They are $100.


    I've had my Nutribullet for a week now, and it's awesome!

    Once you own a vitamix you'll never use anything else. It's a must have for my daughters when they move out. They've never known a day without one and don't want to give it up. It is worth every penny unless you don't use it - then any cheap *kitten* blender can collect dust on the counter.

    Get a Ninja Pro for $100 or less if it's on sale. Use the $400 you saved versus the Vitamix to buy something you're going to use more, like a guitar and amp, or a new TV, or a canoe and fishing rod. Or you could pay off a loan or credit card, or maybe donate to a charity of your choice. Buy some nutritious food, pay your bills on time.

    There are almost an infinite number of better uses for several hundreds of dollars than a smoothie maker.

    I am considering either the Ninja Kitchen Pulse which comes with 3 16 oz personal cups to blend in. It has 700 wts. The other one I am looking at is the Nutri Bullet which has 600 wts. Have any of you used the Ninja Kitchen Pulse model? It is cheaper then the Nutri Bullet.

    Vitamix...... hands down (in my opinion :tongue:)


    (P.S in response to price, the best place to get it is a costco. And you can make way more than just smoothies in it. I use my every single day and can't imagine using anything else! Well worth the money.)

    My husband just bought me a "Ninja Professional 1000 watts" It is great! It will eat ANYTHING!!! (Frozen fruit, frozen broccoli, carrots, anything! ) He got it at Bed Bath & Beyond for about $100. I highly recommend! Good luck! :flowerforyou:

    magic bullet works good on frozen fruit and ice cubes..I also like the fact that its in single serving size so its handy that way.

    I got the Ninja food processor about a year ago and absolutely LOVE it! Works almost as well as my sisters Vitamix.

    I have a Ninja but am thinking of investing in a Vitamix because I buy raw juice a few times a week and it is so pricey.

    I only use the ninja for smoothies. Has anyone had luck using for juice? Can you?
