Blender help

Vitamix or blendtec. it's worth investing in a good blender that will last you YEARS, can actually blend smoothies fully without chunks, gives good consistency, is easy to clean, and most importantly is actually strong enough to handle whatever you want to make in it.


I went through 4 terrible crappy blenders in a couple years before i finally got a nice one. it's well worth it and the amount of money i spent i nothing compared to the numerous crappy blenders i had to replace.

Vitamix.

i use the nutribullet rx... but i prefer my vitamix

Vitamix ❣. It does cost more but it makes smooth creamy shakes, blended soups are amazing (I make fresh tomato soup in the summer).... Well worth the money and I have heard you can buy refurbished ones that work just as well.

Have you considered an immersion (stick) blender? Much easier just to blend your soups and beans in the pot, rather than ladling hot liquids into the blender container. Mine came with a tall plastic cup that I use to make smoothies.

Depends what you want - price or quality or something light you can easily carry without worrying about suitcase's weight.
What I do know is that blenders with glass pitchers are much better, mode durable, and you don't have to worry too much about crushing ice.
I'm personally a Philips user. I got mine for like... $60? Glass pitcher, with ICE-crushing option. But it's heavy.

The ninja is one of the ones i bought previously i had to replace. Let me tell you, it is a giant piece of crap when it comes to blending anything other than fruit.

Want nuts in your smoothie? You'll be choking down chunks
Want veggies? You'll have a gritty mess.


Here's a good comparison video:

I am not the only one whose had this issue, believe me. not to mention bot the vitamix and blendtec have very long warranties. The ninja? One year.

I've never had a problem with my Ninja because I don't have a full Ninja blender system, but I agree with this. I own a NutriNinja Pro and a Vitamix Professional Series 200. For everyday protein shakes blended with fruit or some greens, I go for my Ninja since you just put the smoothie cup on, blend, and go. When I make nut milk or fresh juice with multiple fruits and veggies, I pull out the Vitamix. If you want a blender that does a variety of things, then you're going to want to invest in something like a Vitamix.

And now. The blendtec entires my blender competition. Was looking at those last night and they look super nice too, and possibly more powerful than a vitamix! Aaaaaaarrrggghhh

Having used both, i'd say they are almost the same. Power wise, ability wise, warranty wise, etc.

Which would you choose?

either, honestly. I'd go to a local store that has them, look at them in person, and go for whichever is cheapest, you think looks the best, etc. I only got the blendtec because it was in stock.
