My blender broke last week. It was just a cheapy Hamilton Beach one that wasn't awesome to begin with and it couldn't handle the nearly daily use....and I've learned the hard way that food processors are NOT for smoothie making lol

We have a Blendtec and we love it. We make green smoothies every morning. We got a refurbished one and the price was actually not bad (in the 200s).
-
I also second either Blendtec or Vitamix. They are pricey, but definitely worth the investment!
-
I had an Hamilton beach blender and saw a refurbished Vitamix on Zulilly one day. Definitely pricey but I love it. Plus, it has the same warranty as new ones.
Oh, making smoothies on the HB versus Vitamix is not the same. I love that you can make hot soups and sauces on the Vitamix. I think you can grind oats into fine grain, too.

We love our Vitamix. I got mine at Costco - they always have a great deal on it or the Blendtec.
-
We also got a refurbished Blendtec and love it!

Vitamix. It's a tough price tag to swallow, but so worth it.
-
We have a magic bullet and it's amazing for smoothies!
-
We have a blendtec. Got it almost 6 years ago and it's still going strong!
-
Another vote for Vitamix! We make smoothies all the time, and I've also made soup in mine! Just tonight I used it to blend up fresh pesto. YUM!
-
Vitamix!
-
Looks like Vitamix is the winner! Now, any tips on how to convince my DH that it's worth it? lol Maybe this have to be one of those times I ask for forgiveness instead of "permission"...ha!

I've used a vitamix and it is awesome, however I couldnt afford it... We have a $30 ouster from target and honestly it's incredible. We've had it over 5 years and it still works perfectly. The only piece that broke was the plastic screw piece at the bottom, and Amazon sells replacements for cheap.
I've used my parents vitamix, but my oyster is an amazing value.Also I adore my Hamilton beach immersion blender. I love it! I use both of them equally.

@Mrs. Pen: I really didn't want to spend a ton on a blender so I bought on Oster per your recommendation and I LOVE it! My old one didn't work that well ever, not even new! Best $40 I've ever spent.
-
@Mrs. Sunshine: oh yay I'm so glad to hear that! We just love ours so I hope yours continues working as long as ours has!
