Looking for a good quality blender?

[Slowhand]

I just about chocked my wife and stuffed her in the blender when I found out how much it costed, but after some time with it, I would have paid more (and I'm a cheap-ass).

Not a word.

If you're a cheapass don't get a juicer...what a waste

Yeah, I have a few things I have used once, and never again... But I have been doing pretty good with my at home workouts, so I wanted to try a juicer too. Figure if one is decent for around $100, it won't kill me if I don't use it often.

This is hat we've been reduced to? Discussing the merits of various blenders?

And juicers....

We have the KitchenAide 5 speed with a polycarbonate serve pitcher, it fucking rocks! It wasn't too bad in price about $200.00. We have had two in twenty years, the first one finally took a crap on me after 13 years and we have made plenty of salsa and margaritas with them both.

Costed

You missed "chocked"

Fuck you both! I'm drunk in Hawaii and getting paid!

something mid-grade at acemart or superior.. expect to pay for it... (little secret)... If you use it a lot but dont want to spend a lot buy a cheapo at walmart and return it as soon as it breaks and they will give you a new one.. The bottom parts of blenders normally last forever... its the top plastic piece and blade that break

I have a ninja and like it. The blade fell off the counter and cut my toe open real bad so I'd imagine it can blend pretty damn good.

Everyone has to eat, so yeah! Plus, we're not all ballers/single and can go out to eat all the time.

Another vote for a ninja. Bought a cheap one from Walmart and it works great!

for ~$75 the cuisinart SPB-600 is a quality unit with a heavy duty motor and is hard to beat.

beyond that? blendtec!

My wife bought a "vitamix" blender, and it's nice/well built. It does all kinds of things, like make hot soup....it's very versatile, for a blender!

I'm going to require all of you to rewatch Fight Club and hand over your man cards.

For the record; I've never used it...I've just seen her use it!

My recommendation would be a Blendtec, but you said you don't want to spend that much. You might be able to get a Vitamix for a little less, but not by much. Blendtec is hands down the best in the industry though, IMO. Both of those brands are commercial grade, and get beat to shit day in and day in out in bars and keep on going.
