Ok you will rarely hear me ask for advice on kitchen stuff because I just don't use the gadgets that much. Don't get me wrong I love the way they look in a kitchen and make everyone think I am an AWESOME cook, but I'm not. I can cook just don't take the time.
But I am desperately seeking advice - my blender (MY FAVORITE APPLIANCE) broke, burnt the motor, in the trash, gone to me forever, so now I'm looking for a new one. I started thinking about everything that I use a blender for and it has nothing to do with cooking - IT'S ALL ABOUT THE DRINKS!!! Not just the great and fabulous adult beverages (Frozen Daiquiris, Margaritas, Pina Colados, Bellini Cocktails, Bananas Foster, Mudslide, Bailey's Shake, Rum Runner, oh I could go on) but we make the kiddie versions too (boys love Colados, Daiquiris, and Smoothies - NO ALCOHOL, of course!).
These all look really cool and sleek and would do the job.
BUT . . .
Since I realized I don't use them for much except crushing ice and making drinks, I REALLY WANT ONE OF THESE - MARGARITAVILLE CONCOCTION MAKER. Birthday and anniversary are coming up if hubby and/or dear, sweet, loving friends are reading - PLEASE I WILL BE GOOD AND MAKE PLENTY FOR EVERYONE!
So I'm asking - What do you like/dislike about your blenders? What brand do you use?

I saw one of those MARGARITAVILLE CONCOCTION MAKER at Sam's. I don't use my blender a lot, usually to make hummus or salad dressing. Dh makes smoothies. Mine was a cheap one from Walmart - sorry no help
Wow, I am extremely unqualified to answer this one. We have a blender and it blends. That's the most educated statement I am able to make on this subject!
I don't have a blender. I use my food processor for almost everything.But, if you'll keep them coming, I'll buy you the marg maker! LOL!
We have a Cuisinart Blender/Food Processor and have had it for about 8 years. Love it. John makes some fabulous margaritas with that baby!!
ashley - i saw one of the margarita machines at Kohls....don't know price but it was on sale. Sams usually has the best price though. If you're just using for drinks/shakes, then i think you should buy yourself a birthday present! Enjoy!
I don't even know what brand ours is. I don't really use it that often unless I want a milkshake. Those drink maker ones look really neat!
I like Wal-Mart for many things -- but never electric appliances... I bought a blender there twice (2 different brands) and they both burned out within 3 months.
Costco always sells high quality with great return policy. Sam's Club second choice.
