Sure, give me about 13k and I’ll gladly get one and post you the change.

You guys have no idea, I WANT that vitamix, I settled for the nutribullet because I cannot afford the vitamix.
For a stick blender - just know the cheaper they are the faster they break.
This is what I will settle for next:
I use this for my smoothies and milkshakes and iced coffees.
I just want the vitamix sooooooooooooooo badly. Out of all the fancy gadgets there are, that is my dream one.

I’m with you on the vitamix. Maybe if my hot sauces make me a killing, which in reality I can’t because of my visa situation, but I can dream.

I dunno, I don’t consider the Salton brand to be expensive by any means but lasted me around maybe 7 years.

The older ones lasted, the new ones dude . . . Ive gone thru 2 in the last 4 years. We make a lot of thick soups and I use it to mix things like pancake and flapjack batter
I must seriously prioritise that call with you @czc
Juicer, Stick, Jug, and Bullet blenders
On another note, we need a new blender for our kitchen. Do people have any recommendations?
Coming winter time, I love making soups, but we also like to have smoothies and such. My previous stick/immersion blender packed up in the middle of making roasted butternut soup.

I have one of the Bosch silent jug blenders, which can work with hot soups. It’s not the most powerful, but it was a great price for what it can do.
Avoid Russel Hobbes. I bought one, and it burned out in less than a week. And I was even following the manual that says not to run it more than one or two minutes at a time, which is completely unacceptable if you plan on making anything really smooth, like hot sauce or soups.
It’s a shame Ninja isn’t selling in Africa anymore. They get awesome ratings in the rest of the world.
One of the best, if you can afford it, would be Vitamix
That’s just jug blenders. I’ll be keeping my eye on this thread for stick blender advice 
as I would love to get one myself

You ever put warm stuff into an airtight bullet…

We had an old glass jug Russel Hobbes which we used for smoothies and such but sadly over the years and other such branded appliances we have lost faith in the brand.
I’ve never used a bullet blender.
Frankly, I can’t tell you the benefits or disadvantageous of different types of blenders.

Trust a model, not a brand. Obviously, once you’ve found a good model, you buy 15 of them, and become the marketing ambassador for that product.

I dont even need a blender but I want a Vitamix. Watched some more demo videos. It looks so damn good.

Honestly, I’d be cool with one of these
Even just the stir bar, as I could rig up an old PC fan with an earth magnet or two. Sure, it’d take 2 weeks to make a super smooth hot sauce, but if it works…

So I made soup, if you didn’t know, and when I got to nearing the end point of the cooking process I realised my blender broke a while ago now. In a rush I borrowed a nutribullet from a neighbor and damn did this thing impress me. For a small little thing it made quick work of it. Albeit it had been cooking a while but I literally spun it for like 3 seconds.
That being said, the pain of having to scoop back and forth in order to do an entire pot full was a pain. But overall impressed with the little tyke.

Which one did you use? I was told not to do hot soups in mine. I have the 600w one, and they cleary state no hot liquids
Blender Question of the Day: Can the Nutribullet Make Soup?
Quick Answer: Yes! The Nutribullet is fantastic at making soup, but there are a few things that you need to know for safety before doing so. Most importantly, for all closed container blenders, you must not blend hot ingredients. This could use a build-up of pressure and result in the blender exploding. The result is simply to blend all ingredients cold and then heat them on the stovetop later.
We just bought this one a couple of weeks ago - its scary good

I might have mentioned this in this thread before, but I got the previous model of this
It isn’t so powerful as some other more expensive ones are, but it has served me well, is quiet for a blender, and does soups while hot.
Sometimes I wish it did better with chilli seeds, but I think a stir plate like I posted to earlier would work well for.

Not sure the model or anything but that’s it. There’s another jug which I used (not in picture as it was dirty), but it feels slightly thicker and actually has a handle like a mug.
Thanks for the link, I’ll look at getting something like that.

That is the one I have, Im just glad you didnt get the pressure build up (I will admit to trying to blend warm butternut soup once . . . It wasnt pretty!)
Ag, I filled it half way with chunks and liquid, blitzed it for about 3 seconds and that was enough eh. It really came out smooth.
