Blender

[Necie]

I blew it up... again. 🙄 I can’t tell you how many blenders I’ve went through in the last 40 years. This one lasted the longest... probably cuz I didn’t use it much... cuz I was afraid I’d blow it up. 😏

It was a nice Hamilton Beach. Not sure if I even want another one, but if anyone has a Necie-proof, indestructible recommendation... I’ll listen.

Oster works great for me!  Made a lot of green  smoothies and it's still  kicking.

Also, the Nija works very well. But I think what you need is a food processor instead of a blender.

My kid went through two Vitamixes making chocolate shakes...

Wow, all great name brands. I have a Ninja and a Cuisinart but they are barely used. And yeah, you might think about a food processor.

 

That surprises me about the Vitamix. I thought they were the best.

I have a food processor. It’s what I usually use. I’d decided to try the blender cuz stuff ends up finer. I went back to the processor. It’s about 35-40 yrs old and I use the heck out of that thing. The good thing is, without the blender it makes room on that shelf for my juicer. I won’t have to go to the basement every time I need it. 🙂

They definitely are a top brand. Not sure how her son burned out 2 with just chocolate shakes. 
 

I grind grain in mine, dog kibble into powder for pups etc and never had it whine or cry or give up.

Necie, I know what you mean having to go to basement when you need an appliance. I don't have room on my kitchen counter for all of my appliances and have to run out to garage for what I need. I only keep the ones I use all the time on counter. I did move the mixer into the kitchen as that KitchenAid is heavy. Got tired of lugging it up 3 steps from garage when I needed it. Shoulder and neck issues changed that problem for me.
