KitchenAid KSB560 at just over $100. Best bang for the buck easily.
And even a cheap blender can do a lot and last a long time if the user learns how to load it properly.

I got the Vitamix because it's not tall and fits under the cabinets that are over the kitchen counter.

Wow. I just checked out Vitamix. I might just buy a half dozen Bullets instead. $$$$
One thing I love about the bullet is the way it is also the container, so I think I would buy another one of those.
Slight derail - this guy's cookbook is great - The Food Lab, Better cooking Through Science.
I have a copy. It is indeed fantastic.
I went to best buy to pick up a breville blender they had advertised for $169. Find one in the store with no price tag, got someone to scan it and it's $199, still $70 off. A bit annoyed I mentioned the whole $169 thing, we figured out only the black colour is on for that price and there's none in the region. Blenders are too complicated.
We had a bullet and a nutribullet over the years….but the wife bought a vitamix about a year and a half ago… I was skeptical at first ("HOW much!?!?") but damn, that thing is amazing.
Soups, nut butters, shakes, smoothies, "ice cream" from frozen bananas and cocoa powder…etc.
A real quality product.

Try this one. Online only though.

How did people survive before the advent of über-priced blenders?

Do not buy the Kitchen Aid blender. It threads on opposite the direction of the blade, so when the blade torques, like on a banana, it loosens the bottom and spews your smoothie all over your kitchen.
Do not buy a cheap Superstore brand blender. It doesn't have to power to blend a banana.
My Electrolux is working so far…
Funny was just shopping around for a blender.
I can't bring myself to pay for a blendtec or a vitamix (how big is the freaking profit margin in those things).
Read some mixed reviews on some of the ninjas.
Ended up ordering a oster versa 1100 watt model from Best Buy online. Still haven't got it yet (I only ordered it this morning) but I am interested in how well it is going to work.
Apparently you can fit the small blade assembly onto a mason jar which would be handy if you are making nut butter (get your mind out of the gutter) as you can just put a regular top on when you are done. Or you could make a smoothie and drink it out of the mason jar like a true redneck.
Reversing (is supposed to help when you are blending something and it isn't mixing well)
7 year warranty through oster.
We had a Breville that cost about $200 and after 10 years it finally died. so I am looking in the same price range. How is the Oster working out?
The Vitamix looks like the bomb but I can't justify that money.

You can when you're married. :(

Oster is working good.
Only drawback is when you use the small on the go portable mug it doesn't blend that well. But the standard blender jar does a good job on kale (yuck), carrots, apples, ice cubes etc.
Preprogrammed smoothie mob is pretty handy.
Well worth price paid.
