    hands down, no question......vitamix. I use mine 2-3 times per day. Absolutely love it.

    The ninja may work well out of the box but I have been using a vitamix 3 times a day or more giving it a heavy duty workout and it has not failed once in over 35 years. I bought a second one and gave my niece my old one. My second one is going strong after 20 years old. Now time to buy new ones for my daughters as they move out of the house. These things are in every Starbucks and juice shop for a reason. Even with so many being sold there is a reason why they just have ONE PERSON who handles returns and customer complaints - it's because NO returns a vitamix unless it was damaged in shipping.
  • I bought a Cuisinart blender, that came with four cups with lids to drink from. It works VERY well, and if I remember correctly, it cost about $50 at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. I really LOVE it!

    I too have the Cuisinart version of the 'magic bullet' and LOVE it! I make my morning smoothie, a green smoothie for lunch and even use it to make a fruit sorbet like desert smoothie. Easy to use and very easy to clean up! I also have the Cuisinart stick blender and it worked well for me prior to getting this.
  • Definitely go with a Blendtec or Vitamix. I had a Ninja in the past too and it sucked. It worked nothing like the way it's advertised on TV. Here is a good writeup I just found which gives more info on the best blender for smoothies and it also recommends either the Vitamix or Blendtec.

    its now awesome but if you only make smoothies or drinks once in a while its enough.

    I have an Oster that works well. I want a Ninja, but I'm cheap.

    Honestly the Vitamix is worth every penny
