Well, to begin with I was basically surfing around aimlessly on Consumer Search. My aim was to find one with very good reviews and a good price. There were several good-looking models there, from famous companies like Ninja and Vitamix. However, it seemed like most of them had at least one significant problem or issue. That's most likely to be expected with products like this though. After some exploring I found an online site (The Blender Guide) with guides to the most in-demand units. After spending a day reading through that website I finally decided to opt for a blender from Ninja. It sure wasn't cheap, but it really seems like I made the proper choice!
