Best Low Price Blender?
Posted by: Anonymous User ()

Does anyone know of a good blender that costs less than $100, and hopefully is quiet, for a college student to buy, who can't afford an expensive one, and may not use it that much in the future anyway?

Thanks in advance.

For blending fruit there are many you can choose from. For greens you need a high speed blender such as vatamix or total blender but they are about 400 dollars and even a used one cannot be bought at 100. [www.discountjuicers.com]

I've heard of people buying the Bullet and having good luck with it. I believe it will also do some food processing, too.

I saved and saved and bought a K-Tec Champ HP3 but know that doesn't help you. I recently purchased a food processor in addition. It arrived today.

Good luck.

She'll be making mostly smoothies in the blender. Actually, my main concerns are that it works and it's quiet and that it costs less than $100, because I'm buying it for her and my husband will have a fit if I buy an expensive one.

Thanks Therese and djatchi.

What constitutes high speed? I recently bought a mid seventies Osterizer that's 800 watts for about $50 on Ebay. As I get into blending greens I'll determine if this appliance serves my needs or not.

Just go for the highest wattage you can afford. 700-900 watts are generally affordable.

I REALLY need something that will demolish nuts because my Moulinex is a pre-raw purchase and wont even touch the nuts. I mean the L'equip is meant to be good but is still a little on the pricey side... unless my father decides to help and he has been really tight-fisted lately!

You don't need a $400 blender to blend fruit and other basic smoothies. I spent my money on a juicer and am still using a regular Hamilton Beach blender I got from the department store for around $45. It has an "ice crusher" which is probably why it's good at grinding nuts/seeds into powder. Sure it's not as powerful as the expensive ones like "The Total Blender" but it works great for what I've been using it for over the past 3 years now.

Other than that my suggestion is this one. It's listed at $59. If you shop around you'd probably find it even cheaper. Check 2-life.com
