Can anyone recommend a solid blender for making smoothies? Specifically, I’m looking for something that handles frozen fruit and Greek yogurt well. Currently using a Ninja pitcher blender I found on Buy Nothing, and it leaks and is so loud I legitimately fear it’s damaging my hearing with every use.

Protect your hearing while using a blender: Whatever you end up getting, if you’re using it daily, i recommend protective gear.

Blendtec Total Blender Classic: Full disclosure: this is not quiet. But it can absolutely handle frozen things and other tough items with ease.

I’ve used a Vitamix too, but I prefer the Blendtec because of the pre-set mix settings (Smoothie, puree, soup etc.)

Add whatever you’re blending, hit the button and it comes out perfectly every time. Easy to clean, doesn’t leak.

We received one as a gift years ago (15+) and bought another exactly the same (~6 yrs ago) when outfitting a vacation home. Both have been amazing and reliable.

Vitamix 5200: unfortunately the Vitamix is the answer. look for secondhand or on sale! my husband has had ours for YEARS and it demolishes frozen fruit in .0003 seconds
