Oster Reverse Crush Counterforms Blender - $40.98 @ Amazon
Thumb Score: +1
This seems to be the highest rated and most powerful of the under $100 Oster line of blenders.
I just ordered one.
It's almost always priced at $60 or more, but it's now $40.98.
Great thing about Oster blenders, is you can buy replacement blades, pitchers, tops, etc., etc., cheaply.
Plus I prefer an all glass pitcher.
Also this blender has a 10 year warranty and a 3 year satisfaction guarantee, which is crazy long. Apparently it can make 10,000 smoothies. At least that's what Oster says.
The warranty is logner than Vitamix and Blendtec, and it's 10% the price of Vitamix.
