A 1,600-watt powerhouse with a distinctive triangular jar that nearly matches Vitamix performance at roughly half the price. With 10 speeds, useful presets including nut butter texture settings, and a 5-year warranty, it's the smartest buy for budget-conscious serious blenders.
WIRED named this their best blender under $300, and it earns it — the nut butter presets alone (coarse, medium, smooth) show a level of thoughtfulness you don't expect at this price. The 5-year warranty seals the deal.
“It manages to mostly match the performance (and a lot of the look, frankly) of Vitamix's budget Explorian option, with a lower price and the same five-year warranty.”
