Need a Bullet Style Blender, Any Suggestions and Advice

LSySalem on 30/11/2016 - 19:59

I have an original, and I mean, the first version that came out on the ad's with the lady and the guy and their friends after a nights party there and they were like "Look at this, and this and it can even do this". I bought from a Danoz Direct retail store. So it's the original giant package (most stuff has now been lost) but it is old. The head with the 4 blades broke, the rubber seal corroded and gave everything a terrible taste. So now I only have the head with the 2 flatter blades which does the trick usually, just, not as well as I would hope these days.
I need something, and within the next 2 weeks if possible, to replace this poor old dying Magic Bullet, so I'm on the hunt for information now so I can get ready to go bargain hunting and shopping for what I decide on soon.

I noticed a few like the Sunbeam Go Blend Personal Blender, the George Foreman Mix & Go and the Kambrook Blitz2Go, along with a ton of various different seeming Nutri Ninjas.
If anyone has any advice, or knowledge (I know nothing about watt power usage and so on) or even some personal experience with any of these, coming off an original Magic Bullet, I would be greatly appreciated.
I don't need any of the extra large jug options, or a ton of handle drinkable cup types or anything like that. Just at least one container (two would be preferred in case one breaks) and at least 2 different blade heads I guess. I just really need one that is able to destroy ice like a villain that stole my golden egg, because currently, I can't do jack to ice in this flat 2 blade head I have left on my ol' Bullet.

Any advice or helpful hints or anything is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
N.B. It HAS to be one of the whole upside down 'bullet' style blenders, not your typical ho-hum sort

    I blind bought the Nutri Ninja for $40 from them above, and it is amazing. Comes with 2 jugs and 2 top lids so you can carry and bring with you 2 separate tumblers. No frills appliance without the unnecessary hype that never gets used. It even crushes ice cubes. But I notice that particular model is no more selling, only the more expensive ones. Good Guys via their Ebay shop is 20% off everything including the Nutri Ninjas. And why am I banging my head on the wall because last week, I bought a mobile phone from them and today it would have been 20% off through their ebay shop. Called the store to see what I could get via their 30 day price match guarantee, and they refused. Said the discount was actually copped by eBay paying for us, not as if they were actually getting less for the product. :( :( :(

      Thanks for the info. Ended up on an adventure today.

      Went pricing at Harvey Norman, Betta Electrical and well Good Guys I had their ebay price + 20%off.
      Harvey Norman had a whole "special price" for the Nutri Ninja IQ BL480NZ, but was basically base price at $159. I said lowest I could get was Good Guys at $157 but they had 20% off online. He said he won't even touch the online discount, but can do it for me for $150. I passed on this deal.
      He had one in stock of the Nutri Ninja Blender Duo BL642NZ, price was $268. I said that was the highest anywhere, cheapest I could get it legit style was across the road at Betta Electrical at $199, he said he couldn't drop it at all. I left Harvey Norman with my usual 'Leaving Harvey Norman Feeling' like I just dodged a bullet train coming straight for me.

      I went over to Betta Electrical. The in store prices at Betta Electrical are higher than their online prices, the sale rep spoke to me and explained it, but I sort of zoned out. Then I remember him saying something about they ran out of stock and couldn't get any more of the IQ in so they had to drop the Duo down to $10 above the IQ because it was all they had, but since they finally got IQ's back in stock, the price was a bit funky. I said about Good Guys and their deal with their 20% deal, he asked me how much the Duo was. $175.20 I said, he gave me a smirk and walked off…Comes back a moment later and says "I can give it to you for $175. Deal was done.

      So I really only was going for the BL480NZ IQ, but ended up going with the BL642NZ Duo just because of great store rep and beating an online ebay special. Can't complain.

        Very good. Pays to ask the shops to match online deals although they say they will not match online deals, inevitably some do or they lose a sale.
