Nutri ninja for $188 at the good guys.
This is the latest and greatest of the 480's, comes with 3 cup sizes and a recipe book.
I've done quite a bit of research, this is probably the best blender for the price.
This has far better reviews than the slightly higher priced Sunbeams and Brevilles. The only complaint about it is the noise, however, you'll find that it's pretty common with all blenders. http://www.productreview.com.au/p/nutri-ninja-with-auto-iq.h…
Furthermore, if you're near the Essendon store in VIC, you can pick up the 2 year extended warranty for virtually $4 as you get a $25 giftcard to offset the $29 price tag. http://www.thegoodguys.com.au/cons/groups/public/documents/b…
Lastly, I suggest that you use your entertainment book or similar to purchase Myer giftcards with your WISH egift card to this value as you can get a further 5% off the price tag. This makes it only $178.6 when you get your price match done.
Sigh !!!!!! I bought this for $200+ 1 month ago :(
