can anyone recommend a good blender? i don't have one... i am hoping to get 2 blenders, one for savory one for sweet because i can sometimes taste the crossing of the two and dislike it, so a less expensive but rockin' blender would be so appreciated!!

also do people suggest single serving blenders or larger blenders and store your extras?

thanks!

Get one blender and you can get seperate Canister/Jars for it so you do not have to mix sweet/savory stuff together... But you have one blender base. You can also get the food processor attachment for the blender base..or some blenders do the puree stuff for you.

We have an Oster 6844 blender in a candy apple red color, and hubby dropped and broke the jar thing. We ordered replacement parts online and have extras.. We ended up getting a chrome canister for it instead of replacing it with glass.. which he already dropped and dented a bit. But it is still usable where the glass would have shattered.

Shop around for them.. get some extra parts here and there.. for spares..

I bought the white Ninja Pulse at Target (700 watt version) and LOVE it! It came with three smoothie cups, one large blender canister, a canister storage cover, and dough paddles. It is extremely quite and fast! I paid $80 for mine. Walmart sells the Pulse as well (same price as Target), but their version is black and 500 watt with only two smoothie cups.

I have the magic bullet and it comes with a few different blending cups and blades. I think they are like 100$ but I've had mine for around 4 years.
