Need a new blender - any feedback on which to buy?

pinksneakers1 · January 2015

Our blender is on its last legs and we need a new one. I'd rather not spend a fortune if possible. I just started making shakes and I'd like one that can handle ice, ground flax, etc so I'm not drinking a lumpy shake. Thanks

Blendtec if U want to spend less - or Vitamix. Stay away from Ninja - read some bad reviews on quality.

NutriBullet is the best in my opinion. Hubby and I have been making smoothies for almost 3 years now. We're on our second bullet and wouldn't be without one. JMHO

I am very happy with my Nutribullet too!

Vitamix is where its at, you can pick up a factory reconditioned one for less money. I have used a Ninja and it does not make smooth smoothies.

I love my Vitamix. We've had it for a year and I use it everyday.

VITAMIX is where it is at. Search the web and make sure you check QVC.com, they usually have good deals on them. I have had 4 different blenders before the vitamix and I would never recommend a different blender.

I really like my Kitchenaid Diamond Blender (plus the color is nice). I think I paid around $120 CDN for it (on sale) and it's amazing. I use it daily to make shakes (with frozen fruits/veggies/seeds/etc). I think it would be good for what you're planning to do with it. My mother has the magic bullet and it's great as well, but I prefer my blender.

I've had a Ninja for 4 years it is the best blender I've ever used makes killer smoothies

If you spend a little more money and buy a vitamix it will not only be the best "blender" you've ever had, it has a lifetime warranty so you'll never have to buy another one. It is the most amazing food processor i've ever used...smoothies, soups, dips, spreads, sorbets, etc. it comes with a book of recipes and you can look up more online. i should be on their commercial

I use a Ninja Nutri Blender 2HP 1500 Watt and LOVE it! I make smoothies and shakes mainly, but also use it as a food processor. I saw one poster state that he didn't recommend the Ninja based on reviews he saw so if you go the Ninja route you may want to research it first

Where did you get a lifetime warranty? I see it as 7 years.

I have a nutri-ninja that is awesome. It does single serve smoothies and also has a blender and food processor attachement.

Nutri-Bullet user here.

Use it to whip up coffee / whey shakes, Almond butter, cookie butter. I don't buy that store made *kitten* anymore.... too expensive for literally .... just fillers.
