I'm in the uncanny valley on the matter of a blender. I lucked into an absolute steal on a premium version of a cheap but reliable brand, . . . Specifically, I got a Hamilton Beach with their biggest [1/2 hp] motor and all stainless steel for $5 at a Home Depot small appliance closeout.
So it's nothing to get excited about, but it does everything you need, and is unlikely to break down anytime soon.
Plus, for the big jobs I got one of Kitchenaid's big 11 cup food processors for like $25 [$150 at Bed Bath & Beyond] at the same time.
