NutriBullet Smart Touch Blender™ 1500W

I mostly make smoothies, but I used a lot of frozen berries as well as kale. My old Oyster blender did a good job (better than my ninja) but still left some seeds behind, especially with black berries. This blender works fantastic and really chops through seeds, and thicker veggies to make the smoothest smoothies I ever made. It's a big unit but it does have a very powerful motor. The settings are actually helpful and take the guess work out blending some things. I saw a youtube video where this was compared against a Vitamix and held it's own coming in 2nd in a group of about 5 or 6 blenders. For the price it's well worth it. The only thing I wish it had is, a) glass Jug b)easily removable blades. But things like that are becoming hard to come by and overall it's pretty easy to clean. All and all I think this absolutely the best blender you can get for the price and maybe a good Vitamix alternative.
