Usually, cheap blenders in the under $40 range can
certainly manage identical tasks as high-end blenders. They crush, blend, mix,
and chop, probably certainly not with the abandon of the most expensive
blenders, but good enough for simple, day-to-day needs like smoothies, salsas,
soups, and also iced cocktails. If you are ready to go all out (or should for
diet or perhaps professional reasons), at the top quality of the marketplace
you will find brands like Breville, Blendtec, and Vitamix. But if your budget
is limited to blenders in the low cost end of the marketplace, our finest
suggestions is to keep it small and simple. Search for name brands such as
Hamilton Beach, Cuisinart, KitchenAid, Kalorik, and Oster for a good blender at
a fraction of the cost of the top-rated/top-performing products.
Allow me to share Top 5 best sellers blenders under $40.

This Cuisinart Smart Stick
Hand Blender is designed to handle a variety of basic tasks. Elegant brushed
chrome or a variety of bold colors houses a powerful motor, and the handy
“stick” design lets you blend in a pot, bowl, or pitcher. With two speeds, you
can handle all your food prep tasks on high or low. Operation is easy and
cleanup is quick. What could be better?
Most helpful costumer reviews:
"Mixing - The two speed
operation is handy. For making soups, you can do most of the job on low speed,
even with chunky vegetables. This makes it easier to control how thick the
final product is, and it makes for less possibility of splash-ups. The switch
feel is sure (good tactile feel). The blade is stocky and sharp - it looks like
it's built for business. I blended a large pot of tomato black bean garlic soup
down in under 30 seconds.
Motor
- Plenty of power. It's quiet compared to my last blender (especially on low),
which was 3x the price. I cannot comment on durability yet, as this is a new
model.Size/weight/feel - Hefty, but not heavy. It has a quality feel with a nice balance. If it were too light, it would feel cheap.
Cord - Long enough to get the job done, but not too long to make wrapping up the cord a hassle.
Assembly/Cleaning - Easy to attach/detach. The lock-up feels solid. So far, there's little mechanical play in the interface. It's very easy to clean by hand if you don't wait for it to dry up.
I've grown to like Cuisinart products. It looks like they have a winner here.
4/10/2013 update - I've had this for several months now, and I can say the concern about the plastic gear on the prior version does not appear to be an issue on this design. I've used it dozens of times and there is not a hint of wear. Bumping to 5 stars. It's one of my favorite kitchen tools.
11/17/2013 update - Still going strong. This is my single favorite kitchen tool, and I have lots of them. It's the best combination of usefulness and fun factor. So nice not to have to drag out the food processor for so many tasks any more. I just made a super creamy hummus (in the can, no less) in under five minutes. Fast, yummy, inexpensive and so easy to clean up afterwards."

"This is my best little gadget and I have many. I wanted a Vita Mix since I can remember but it was too expensive while raising a family. I finally got one a few years ago, and it was a big disappointment. It was big, bulky and noisy and it did not do anything special. I used it all the time anyway to make smoothies, it was not much good for anything else.

Then I
saw this Ninja on TV and thought it was a gimmick. I finally bought one since I
started to hear many good things about it. And it was very affordable.
I can make my refried beans, chop onions and garlic, smoothies and sauces, but my favorite is the take frozen fruit and add some milk or coconut milk and turn it on, it is just about the best frozen dessert you can find, you may not even have to add sugar if your fruit is sweet enough.
I really love this Ninja I use it every day and sometimes twice or three times.
I am thinking of getting another one just in case this one breaks."

"I received this as a Christmas gift, and so far, I love it. I currently own a Krups blender, which was only about $30, and I was preparing to buy something like a Viking Blender - something that has a much more powerful motor system, for around $150, when my parents got me this. The great thing about it is that it's not necessarily a blender. I mean, it is by definition, but there's a couple key differences. Blenders have an inherent flaw of only blending what's at the bottom, especially when it's something thick like a shake. I always ended up with big chunks of ice cubes in my shakes even after 3 minutes of blending. The ice just never reached the bottom. Not a problem with this system. Even if the blender carafe didn't have 3 sets of blades, it already works better than a blender because the blades aren't embedded in the bottom of the carafe. Which allows me to point out another awesome thing - don't you hate trying to scoop out your drink from the recessed blade area of a blender? And sometimes it just never gets clean? Or it leaks if you don't screw it on tight enough, or, God forbid (this happened to me once) the whole carafe unscrews itself while it's blending and crap flies everywhere? I love the design of the Ninja system if for nothing else than just to avoid all of that!

I love the design of the Ninja system if for nothing else than just to avoid all of that!
I
haven't used this system for too many things yet, but let me tell you one thing
it excels at - chopping ice. And I don't mean those dinky ice cubes that you
get in the plastic trays. If you know anything about silicone ice molds, it
makes the cubes huge and square. I looked at the ice cubes, and then at the
Ninja and thought "let's give this a whirl". Boy was I surprised. Not
only did it pulverize the cubes, but it did so in less than 30 seconds. Unlike
my Krups blender, which would get hot and almost smoke if left on too long to
try and pulverize the ice cubs, the Ninja motor didn't even get warm.
Now, onto the cons, which really aren't that bad. The whole system itself does take up a lot of space. I honestly don't think I need 3 carafes with 3 separate sets of blades and 3 lids. I have used the chopper, and it's definitely nice, but I don't know if I'll ever use the middle one. Maybe if I needed to chop something big like carrots or celery or something, I don't know. Another con is the obvious inability to allow it to sit there and blend something because you have to hold down the button for the motor. Now, this might not be so bad because it is extremely powerful, the blades are VERY sharp, and it doesn't take long to pulverize anything. But, it would be nice to be able to set it, and walk away for 30 seconds to do something else, even if it's nothing more than preparing to put more ice cubes in, (which, is another flaw - you have to remove the motor and the lid before adding any solids). But, I think the flaws in the system, the way it's designed, allows the user to avoid dealing with the problems a normal "

Most helpful costumer reviews:
"After reading some reviews
on here I decided to make my own. Something I think people need to understand
is that the Magic Bullet (MB) blender was made for very specific use. I haven't
seen the info-mercials but I can say that for me, this is the perfect blender.
Here's why:
1. Size - The MBs compact size means it's easy to store. This is crucial for people who don't have a lot of cabinet/counter space. My counter already has a coffee pot, espresso machine,toaster, knife rack, etc. I need a blender that doesn't take up very much space, so for me, it's the perfect size because I leave it sitting out. The extra accessories can be left in the box it came in and put in the attic or basement for storage if you won't be using them on a regular basis. I only use the 20oz cup.
2. Ease of Use - We live in an age where people want simplicity. By design, the MB already has your serving size pre-determined. This is great for people who are conscientious about their portion sizes. In addition, it makes clean up easier. There's no need to pour your drink from a pitcher to a cup, so not only are you using less dishes, but the design of it is just like cleaning a glass. Also, there is only one speed of the MB. This may seem like a detractor, but the switch between pulsing and pureeing works well and should handle any job a normal blender does. I found this surprising omission to be one of its best attributes, hence it's specific use.
3. Functionality - I've only used the MB to make smoothies/shakes and it works great. Some reviewers have complained that the MB underperforms in this area but I think it is a case of operator error. They must be using it wrong because after I got the hang of it, I found that I have a perfect smoothies/shakes. What I would recommend is to blend your ice (approx. 5 pcs) and milk/water (approx. 1 cup) first. Break the ice up by pulsing the MB. Once this is done, add in whatever mix/powder you want in it. Mix it in by pureeing it. Lastly I add half a banana by pureeing it as well. The result is a perfect drink without any ice chunks. I find for smoothies it works better than a blender.
All in all I highly recommend the MB if the details I listed earlier are what you're looking for. If you want more than single servings at one time I would look elsewhere. Otherwise, the MB should be able to handle any job a traditional blender does."

Most helpful costumer reviews:
"I bought this blender primarily
for protein and fruit smoothies, crushing ice, and grinding coffee.
Out of box experience was good, well packaged, simple. Tested it by using the Easyclean feature, and it worked like a champ. While it is noisy, it is quieter than I expected. Just don't expect to be listening to something on TV in another room if you are blending in the kitchen.
The Pros:
My first smoothie was done in seconds, no fuss, no muss. A cup of ice, two big scoops of protein powder, fresh strawberries not cut up, and 12 ounces water.
I put in the ice and strawberries first, and pulsed about 3 times on ice to get a very nice puree of ice slush and strawberry, only a few seconds each. It's got power to spare. Added the powder and water, hit smoothie, and about 15 seconds later I had very happy happy milk-shaky-like goodness to enjoy.
Cleanup and storage could not have been easier.
So it's a keeper.
The cons:
I can see how with so much plastic used, SOMETHING will give out over time and use. HB does not warrant glass breakage, but they say NOTHING about plastics, so if a lid or vent or base go, the 3 year warranty will be worth keeping track of.
Summary and impressions:
It suits my needs, it meets or exceeds expectations, and it was cheap. So cheap that if it dies after warranty, I won't blink and won't miss it.
So after browsing through HUNDREDS of reviews, personal blenders, and Ninja's and such, and nearly going for a Cuisinart personal blender, I figure this one takes up roughly the same amount of space, 700 watts beats 300 any old day, and certainly 185, and why mess around when I don't want to have to worry, I want to blend."

"I have a Vitamix and love
it, but I was eager to try the Oster BLSTPB-WOR My Blend 250-Watt Blender in
Orange, to see if it could streamline my AM blended mocha. My toddler is
freaked out in the early morning by the crazy loud noise our very powerful
Vitamix makes, so I was hoping this would be quieter. It is quieter, but I do
have to blend longer -- it is a fair trade off though since it doesn't make my
daughter cry. Considering my Vitamix was $300+ and this is almost 10% of that,
I was not expecting to get the same blend results, but I was very pleased with
how the Oster performed considering its low price and plastic parts. I was
amused that the neon summer colors offered match the candy colored MacBooks of
the early double 00's, reminded me of college days :)

"I love my Oster personal
blender!!! I have had the Magic Bullet for a few years and my mom thought the
new Oster would be just like that so she thought it was pointless to buy. I
ignored her and got it anyways and we love it! The Magic Bullet makes personal
size smoothies, but it is far more expensive (although it does other things,
too) and it's cups are just that--cups. They have no lid so you really can't
take your smoothie with you unless you put it in another bottle. This is why I
got the oster. You just blend, put the lid on, and go! It's great for drinking
on the way to school or work and it is so fast to make! The longest part of the
process is peeling any fruit you want to put in it, but if you use frozen fruit
or fruit that does not need to be peeled, or you aren't making a fruit
smoothie, it is quite fast! It can make frozen coffee drinks, smoothies,
milkshakes, etc. IT is fantastic! The only thing I need now is for someone to
sell extra bottles for it. Right now we only have one so only one person can
have a smoothie. Generally I am the only one who drinks them daily, but
sometimes my mom or sister will want one, too. If anyone knows where you can
get more bottles, let me know!"
