Now clearly you’re paying for the brand name and the professional feature set. I mean this thing can both blend and heat up soup in 10 minutes simply using blade friction. But if it’s just a basic blender for typical cooking and smoothie tasks you’re after, you can get one for much less. The Ninja Professional Countertop Blender is a great option at $88 but you could also go with a NutriBullet 12-Piece High-Speed Blender System for $50. It can handle all your smoothie needs and includes a pair on-the-go cups alongside a one year warranty.
