I had a 1000W Oster - the original style with mason jar threading - and it would make a very acceptable 72oz smoothie 2-3x week for nearly 16 years before it died. It wasn't a Vitamix or Blendtec, but it was impressive for the $50 it cost, and came with a glass jar.
When it died, I ended up buying (and returning) 8 or 9 different blenders from various brands (and different models within brands), including this one and the $140 Vitamix clone (CleanBlend?). They all sucked. None could handle the same smoothie I'd been making for more than a decade. At least 3 of them started smoking.
I ended up with a white Ninja, the "Grand Kitchen System", I think, and I believe it was $70 and it also came with a single serving jar and food processor bowl. I had tried other Ninjas and they sucked. I don't know what's different about the one we kept, but it's literally the only one that can make a smoothie the way I want it.
Maybe I should have dropped $300+ on a Vitamix from the beginning, but if my old $50 Oster could do the job, I didn't think I needed to spend that much. The Vitamix also has a pretty small jar by comparison, and doesn't have a reasonably priced single-serve cup.
Okay, that's my story.
