Blender advice

Looking for a more economic blender comparable to blendtec or vitamix.

Looking to spend $150 max. No way I'm dropping $400 on a freaking blender

 

I've got a Cuisinart. They make a damn good blender. Not too pricey either.

 

I'm happy with my 99$ Ninja.

Not sure how it compares to those though

 

I had a magic bullet once and it was a pos.

 

Vitamix is a beast. Save your pennies for that one

 

I paid $29.99 for my Black and Decker Blender at London Drugs and it does everything I need it to.

I can't see why I would need to pay more for a blender ?
