Just watch a YouTube video of the vitamix 750 and try to not want it. It beats out the blendtec despite what the blendtec fanboys try to say.

I don't need a $600 blender.

I've had the Waring MX1050XTXP for 3 years. Incredibly powerful. Has handled everything (the wife's, kids' and mother in law's abuse) without flinching. I can't imagine how the other machines at 2x the cost could do more.

My Nutribullet didn't last long. Go with the Ninja, OP.

I got a blendtec, they sell them at Costco for $300-600 I have a Ninja thats been in a cabinet for 5 years.
Ninja=ice chips I can chew in a smoothie
Blendtec=no ice chips
Vitamix and Blendtec are what you'll find in commercial use at places that sell smoothies every day. You'll never see a Ninja being used commercially.

Vitamix or Blendtec. Both make a pretty damn good product.

But I have a nutri-bullet that I use once a day and it does everything I need.
This. Most used appliance ever. Have used mine just about everyday for 2 years. Its a beast and incredibly easy to clean. I would recommend highly

This. I can not fathom why someone would need this but to each their own.

Ninja if you want to save money, you can buy a lot of them before you buy one vitamix. It will do everything fine.
Vitamix if you want restaurant level shakes and smoothies.

I just have an old Kitchen Aid, but I've been reading some about the nicer ones.
Cook's Illustrated last reviewed in 2009. Back then, the Vitamix 5200 was the winner in the regular and upscale categories.
They did not recommend the Blendtec due to "piercing noise levels", inability to crush ice, too much power that turned a smoothie into thin juice, yet couldn’t break down ice cubes, and formed air pockets.
The Sweet Home review site likes the Oster Versa 1400-watt Professional Performance Blender with Short Jar. "At roughly $200, it performs as well as blenders twice the price, and it blows cheaper blenders out of the water."
Their review has lots of notes and links on several models.
I read them to prefer the Vitamix 5200 if you left price out of the equation. "It consistently performed best in all of our tests last year and in most of them this year. It’s the model recommended to us by multiple experts and the one many pros keep in their own kitchens, and it’s recommended in many editorial reviews." But "the 5200 did not make the absolute smoothest smoothies—that prize went to both the Blendtec and Cleanblend—but when it came to consistent and graceful performance, the Vitamix won every time. It was the only machine we tested that smoothly blends peanuts into butter. Where other blenders, like the Blendtec, Cleanblend, and even the Versa, spit bits of mayo up the sides of the jar and out the lid’s center hole, the Vitamix kept the mixture smoothly and evenly moving around the base of the blade."
They dogged on the Blendtec for some issues even though they admitted it "really killed it on smoothies and blended drinks."
