I have had 2 blenders during the last 12 months, and both broke down when using them.
The first one was a DeLonghi. The second one was a (cheaper) Cordon Bleu.
I need to buy a new one, but I would like it to last a little bit longer. What blender do you recommend?
I cook a lot, and I use blenders for nearly everything: soups, sorbets, dips, sauces, breadcrumbs...
I'm talking of jug-blender, not hand-blenders.
Thanks in advance!

I've been though quite a few blenders, I've moved away from the jug-type to the processor, currently I'm using a MagiMix and it's outlasted all the others by far. It was recommended to me by a friend who's been though many more than I have, it's a bit pricey but well worth the money. If a MagiMix is outside your price-range choose a well recognised brand and go for the highest wattage motor you can afford, I would recommend a minimum of 1000watts.

I also have an inexpensive blended and even though it is supposed to chop ice, it doesn't. It just makes a mess.
My sister has a "bar blender" with a stainless steel housing and a glass jar and it seems to work much better, although it was way more expensive than mine.
If you use it a lot get the best one you can. I think they run in the $75 and up range for a good one.

I love my Braun Multiquick. Its got a wand which fits in to
a) a little blender thats great for breadcrumbs, herbs,cheese
b)a bigger jug which is a great all round blender and
c)a crushed ice maker thats good for smoothies
d)a hand blender with turbo power for soups and fastest ever fool proof mayonnaise

i have a kenwood smoothie pro which is awesome but you do need to make sure you dont run them for too long (30 seconds max) at one time as it does burn the motor out, the same is true for running it empty and make sure you put liquids in first and dont try to chop dry foodstuffs or ice i think it costs about $40 and has a 2litre jug so its quite a nice size :)

I have one of these. http://www.amazon.com/Proctor-Silex-57171-7-Speed-Blender/dp/B00006IUWX/sr=8-3/qid=1157377361/ref=pd_bbs_3/002-7156183-0731223?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden It's a cheap plastic blender that seems to outlast much pricier ones going by the user reviews. If something happens, I still won't be out much money. So far, so good... Works great!!!

To tell you the truth I think there made to break, A lot of people have the same problem lucky for me though it hasn't happened to me yet. I think it doesnt' matter what kind you get there going to break! sooner or later!

Try a Cuisinart/Kitchenaid they are pretty heavy duty.......If the motor is not burnt out or otherwise broken why not buy replacement parts?

I have a kitchenaid, and I really like it. I've had it since Christmas.
