Vitamix is great. You can get one of the top ones reconditioned from their website for $400. Everyone I know that is serious about blending goes for the Vitamix. I do not work for them. What is your budget? You can go with a for now blender . I dont have $400 to spend so I have a really cheap hand me down from my grandfather.
Yeah.. Ill have to save up. For now Im hand crushing my berries and eating the bananas whole.
When it comes to blenders you have to decide how much you want to spend. If you want a great blender that you will LOVE, then you will be out $400. I really like the Blendtec blender. It uses a blunt blade, so that it crushes the cells in the food, exposing their nutrients. Food seldom gets stuck in it, so I can just turn it on and walk away. It has a built-in intelligence, so it runs its own blending program and stops by itself. It is shorter than the Vitamix, so that it fits under cabinets. I got my Blendtec, when on demo for ~$350 at Costco. Usually you will be out more than that. Nevertheless, many people like the Vitamix.
$400 is a lot to spend even if you can reasonably afford it. I was on the diet for more than a year, before I bought the Blendtec. I used my plain old Osterizer. An Osterizer blender works usually, but it is a pain, because the food gets stuck in it. Once stuck, the blade just spins and no food gets blended. To free the flood, I would have to move the food around with a spoon, shake the blender and/or add lots of water.
There is a Vitamix Ninja at BJs but Im not sure how good that one is compared to one of the $400 ones..
Vitamix and Ninja are two different companies. :) Ninja's are usually like $100 and Vitamix are like $400 typically. My favorite is definitely the Vitamix but a lot of people like the ninja's at their price range. I have small blender that can only fit like five bananas but i'm broke as a joke so I have to make due with what I got for now. There are lots of blender discussions on this website. Top right search blender or blenders and you'll see a lot of discussion that may help you decide.
