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?

    Plus I just looked at the price. I also have a Ninja - $90. Vitamix - $600. I’d have to be blending a whole lot to shell out that much, but I’m not, so I didn’t. The Ninja works great and is the best blender I’ve used so far, so I don’t see a reason to upgrade. Use what works for you!

      The Vitamix is the standard choice for restaurants. It’s consistently out performed every other blender on the market for literal decades, is built like a tank, and makes smoother purees than anything else.

      It’s an absolutely insane purchase for a home cook to make though lmao. The ninja you have, while it might not be as well built, works like 90% as well as a Vitamix but for a tiny fraction of the cost. And for a home cook that maybe uses a blender once a day, it doesn’t make sense to pay for the durability and slightly increased performance of a Vitamix. Whereas for a restaurant that might use a blender dozens of times a day, it’s absolutely worth it for them to go with the Vitamix.
