Best blender to buy from Kohl's?

My mother gave my wife and I $300 in Kohl's gift cards last Christmas, and my wife agreed to let me buy a nice blender with (some of?) the money. Does anyone have any advice on which one to get?

We have a individual sized Bella blender, but sometimes it's too small for my needs. We also have a Ninja Master Prep Blender from a couple Christmases ago, but it doesn't blend as smoothly as I'd like, and is a bit of a hassle to clean.

I normally will use it for protein shakes, but I also make protein fluff every once in a while so I'd like the blender to be powerful enough to blend whole frozen berries/bananas without breaking a sweat.

My current frontrunners are the Ninja Mega Complete System and the NutriBullet Rx.

Any ideas?

    Go to amazon and check reviews I'd say. I have something like the Ninja master prep actually and it works fine for me.

    I just have plain old $20 blender from target that blends whole frozen berries/bananas just fine. I don't think those items are a tough job.

    We also have a cheap blender like that, but it gets really overworked when I use it to make protein fluff, since there's barely any liquid in it. It does the job eventually but it takes a while, and I have to keep squeezing down the ingredients. I'm hoping to find something that can do the job quicker and easier.

    totally love my ninja. I used to have an immersion blender and I thought that made great smoothies. I was wrong. The ninja decimates ice and frozen fruit. No more huge chunks floating around. My hubs got me the "kitchen" system for christmas- it has a food processor like attachment, traditional blender attachment, and two individual travel mugs that you blend right in them! love it. pricey though i think.. but worth it. I've used all of it regularly.

    Thanks for everyone's input. I ended up getting the Nutri Ninja Blender Duo, since my wife and I didn't need all those food processor accessories that come with the Mega Complete System. It's working quite nicely!

    Cuisinart with the food processor puree function! You can make soups and lots of other things. Its a blender and processor in one.
