Best Blender?

[GeauxForIt 659]

Hi! I'm looking for blender suggestions. Ideally I'd like something relatively inexpensive ($60 or less) that isn't ginormous. I'll mainly use it for shakes and purée post-op.

I thought buying a blender would be pretty simple, but 'Geez Louise!', so many choices!!

Magic Bullet works for most shakes if just you....if not, Osterizer. I also got a handheld Cuisinart for work and I kinda like it better. (it also is a mini food processor...).

ninja, ninja, ninja...turns ice into snow, its small, and you can turn Protein Drinks into milkshakes, you can get one at Walmart for under 30.00, you won't be sorry its my favorite thing in the kitchen by far!

Looking at your budget & size restriction, I'd have to recomend a Ninja. You can get their smaller one for clost to that price, I have the full size commercial version and with the small carraf it isn't too big.

By far the best is the Hamilton Beach To-go single serving blender. I purchased mine at Walmart for less than $20. FANTASTIC!

I got the hamilton single about two months ago... the motor is already wearing out and it can't handle much ice. =\

I got a baby bullet. Love it's compact size and it comes with cute containers for 2 oz servings.

I can't dissagree that the vitamix is a great blender. My mom has one. But the criteria here was small & under $60. The vitamix is not small, and $500.00 is a far cry from $60.

agree...but why buy 5 or more of the baby blenders over the course of a couple years that last a year or two each when you can spend under 300 for a vitamix that can not only blend but will do 10 times more and will last a lifetime? the vitamix is under 300 bucks

I've heard really good things about the bella blender. Its small and everyone i know that has one says it has lasted at least a few years and can blend very well.

Where do you get a vitamix for under $300?

Because I'd don't have $300 to spend on a blender right now and I want a small, cheap one! I was very specific in my request but thanks anyway.
