I liked the single serve blender cups because I hate cleaning, and I only make single servings, so a big ol blender was a pain in the ***.

I drink a collagen mix. It's scientifically proven to cause 24% less wrinkles and helps to increase 45% new skin growth. I don't use a blender, I just pour water in a cup and stir it with my index finger.

True, but if you really want to live long you need to grind up dolphin fetuses, and in order to do that you will need a mondo super charged expensive *** hemi blender.

WS uses a vitamix every single day for smoothies. Expensive upfront but she loves it and that thing is impressive. Can actually make and heat up soup with it.

We are both starting in on a smoothie regimen as well.

Which Vitamix, the 750 Heratige?

I'm also considering the KitchenAid Proline... it has a 3.4 HP motor and made in USA.

Wolf has a super looking one, but warranty not as good as Vitamix, KitchenAid or Blendtec...Made in China is a non-starter.

She'd have to give you the model number. About $5-600. Apparently it's the professional model. If you're looking at it, might as well go for it.

I got a Vitamix from Costco and it came with a 7 year warranty. Since it costs 7x as much as a Oster, I guess it was a wash as my two Oster's never made it past a year.
On a side note, when you get tired of all that healthy **** it makes a hellava margarita.

Bullet FTW. May not be the best, but it's cheap and easy for one-offs. Why not get that first before you buy a turbine that could fly a plane?

The KitchenAid Proline and Blendtec are prettier industrial designs than the Vitamix, tho. As a countertop bling-guy, this weighs in on the criteria heavily.

We have a Ninja. I love it. Wife never makes smoothies, but I use it all the time for pesto and chimmichurri sauce. I have thought about smoothies, but not sure what I would do.

My wife wants a new blender and Costco sells both the Ninja and Vitamix so I'm thinking about trying the Ninja first and just returning it if sucks. I couldn't tell you the last time we used our blender so I'm not sure it makes sense to spend the extra money on a Vitamix, but maybe if we didn't have a POS it would get used more.

What in the hell do you people make that requires a $700 blender? I think I've used a blender 10 times in my entire life. I honestly couldn't even tell you if there's currently a blender in my house.

We have the bit nutribullet. Was going between that and a ninja but went with the nutribullet because it looks better and was easier to clean. Have had it 2 years now and no issues, but I use it for smoothies about 99% of the time.
