We've all heard about the benefits of a Vitamix. But unless you're really serious, who wants to drop that much money on a blender? Which is why we were stoked to hear that the staff of Bon Appetit swears by this affordable Oster model. With a professional grade 1,400-watt motor that spins the stainless steel blade at over 250 mph, it will blend nearly anything you toss inside—and leave you plenty of money to buy ingredients.
