Default Best blenders

Hey nice people. I was wanting to know what is a good or the best blender out there. I was wanting something that can make nut butters to green smoothies that are nice and creamy. I want to eat better and more raw food type of diet.
Any ideas? Do I have to spend lots to get what I want?

How long have you used the Cuisinart blender? There are several poor reviews on Amazon regarding this product.

I once read a story in Rosanne Cash's memoir Composed about how her father would prepare homemade peach ice cream during the summers of her childhood. It must have been delicious.

My sister had a ice cream maker.I don't recall having any ice cream from it.

Blendtec is on tour with demos at Costco and other wholesale warehouse clubs .

Just put your zip in "Find a live demo" section.
