Vitamix blenders are known for strong motors and long warranties. They are expensive, but many owners say they are worth it if they blend daily. They are also easy to find in refurbished form from the brand, which can reduce the cost.

Who it is for: daily blenders who want a long-lasting machine.

• Pros: strong, durable, long warranty (check current terms).
• Cons: high price and tall jars that may not fit under cabinets.

Verdict: a long-term investment for heavy users.
