I grew up with $20 walmart blenders, and hated anything that required a blender.

Recently bought a ninja and there is no going back. I’ll never use a crappy blender again.

Anything else like that?

    In order to understand the usefulness of the blender you have to actually use it a lot. It has to be a common item of use in your life. As a kitchen person who loves cooking, that new blender is the best thing since I used a commercial robo coup in restaurant kitchens. A $12 blender is a piece of crap that has to be poked, prodded, messed with and talked nice to just to make a damn smoothie.

    Shoes though. I’m with you there. Feet and teeth. You get one life with them and use them every day. Take care of em.

      I mean my new blender has 3 blades that mean I never have to poke, shake, or worry. One blade at bottom, middle, then top, and the blades reach near the sides of the blender. There is nowhere my fruit can hide from my Ninja.

      Those blenders that only have blades at the bottom always get stagnant and you have to like stir, poke, and prod. Like you’ll get a frozen strawberry down by the blades, and it’ll just kick it up higher into the liquid. Felt like it never evenly blended things.

          Well dang that vitamix kicked butt. Guess I’m just used to the crappy ones where it kicks things up.

          But hey that’s my ninja in the video! For how much cheaper it is I’ll consider it a success if it can do most things the vitamix can do, but just takes a little longer.

            Yeah that vitamix is only an option if you love cooking and know for sure you’re gonna use it every day
