Advice on Blenders

[LadyCook61]

In the market for a new blender. Any preferences ?

From experience, I would recommend Osterizer. I'm still using the one I bought in 1968. Looks and performs just like new.

I would not recommend the Cuisinart blender/mini food chopper. The blender just doesn't have enough power to circulate things in the container. I wasted $95.00.

I find I just use my food processor and leave it at that!

I'm going to have to buy a new blender when I get home and I'm looking at the Kitchenaid.
KitchenAid® 5-Speed Blender - Blenders Electrics - Kitchen - Macy's

I would love a Vitamix but can't afford one!

LC, I just took a look at the Cooks Illustrated site and they rated the Braun Powermix the highest (only $49.99) and Oster classic beehive next. I love my Oster - had it for many years and I use it alot now that I'm learning to cook Mexican dishes. Can't cook here without a blender to puree the soaked dried chiles for sauces. Even the little corner tiendas sell blender parts! CI did say to be sure and get a glass blending jar, not plastic. Have fun shopping.

Thank you everyone for your input.

We have the Braun. It only gets light use here, but has been great to work with.
