Orion, which blender?

I need a good blender, making smoothies, shakes, etc. I'll be grinding oats, ice, coffee, you name it.

But which one?

Thinking about this one.. Ninja NJ600 Pro Blender: Amazon.com: Kitchen & Dining

Don't really use a blender. Used to make the kids milkshakes a couple years ago but haven't done that in a long time. Used whatever blender we got as a wedding gift. Just go to wally world and buy a cheap one....when it tears up 20 years from now go buy another one.

Maybe this one... Hamilton Beach 50242N WaveMaker 10-Speed Blender, Black: Amazon.com: Kitchen & Dining

I don't use one much either. I have a full size blender that hasn't seen the light of day outside my kitchen cupboard in years

I do make protein shakes/smoothies though. For that I use a Cooks personal blender. I've had it for a few years and it's never failed me. I've had more expensive ones like the Magic Bullet, but that crapped out on me after just a few months.

It's just like this one, but Cooks is a JC Penney brand I believe, and where I got mine.
