I cannot recommend vitamix enough! They are an investment, but come with a 10 year warranty. I use mine all the time

I use my stick blender the most (daily) for soups, puree’s and smoothies. Besides that I’ve a Kmart blender, which I maybe use once a week

Nutri bullet or ninja

I absolutely love my ninja.

Have a look at kmart they have a great range all different prices

Some Kmart branded electrical products are as good as the expensive ones. They get them from well known manufacturers anyway. The products I have got from there have lasted as long as the expensive ones. The same applies to Supermarket named brands of food. They are made by well known manufacturers. ( I worked for a wholesale distributors for 40 years)

I’ve got a Philips and I am quite happy with it.

It does depend on your budget – is there a set amount?
Reading up on reviews is a good idea because there is a wide range of consumers leaving reviews.

I’ve got a Breville. I’ve had it for a few years now but remember it was very affordable. It’s easy to use and blends perfectly
