Best Blender Is the Cheapest

Popular Mechanics magazine did a test of five blenders and ranked them best to worst. The five they tested included the long-time favorite of chefs, the VitaMix, as well as the newcomer BlendTec (the one that blends iPhones, golf balls, etc. on TV), both of which cost around $500. Surprisingly, their top-rated blender was the cheapest—a Kitchen Aid that sells for $150 ($100 street price). (The VitaMix, which I've been using for 6-7 years, came in second and won the "smoothest" blend award, which is why I love it for making smoothies. Some of the reviewers didn't like the "plunger" used with the VitaMix, which is many users' favorite feature.)
