 Hey there, I heard a rumor, something great. I heard that you're looking to get a blender, just not a Vitamix, so you're looking for a Vitamix alternative. You wanna make smoothies, that's amazing. Fair warning, there are like four blenders that you should avoid, four Vitamix alternatives that you should avoid. Ninja, anything Ninja? Ninja prep, Ninja kitchen, Ninja this, Ninja that. I have a fair amount of experience with Ninja products and here's what I'll tell you. They are marketed so well. They are, and they work, like the first couple times you use them, they work because their blades are like razor sharp, but like they wear down, they're like, please, whatever you do, don't get a Ninja, okay? The second one, the second Vitamix alternative to avoid, the Nutribullet RX. So Nutribullet came out with like a special Nutribullet and it's like, it's got like a heating device in there and it's got like another attachment or something. It's kind of an answer to what Vitamix does, it can make soups, okay? The Nutribullet RX is not what you want. Just save your money, like if you're considering the Nutribullet RX, you should just get a Vitamix. Don't get that one, okay? The third one to avoid is an Oster, like an Oster Blender. Like those blenders that you can get at Target or Walmart or Bed Bath and Beyond for like $19. When I was first starting this website, this thing, Life is No Yoke, I was gonna like make some of these and teach people how to make some of these, whatever. And like, I bought an Oster Blender for my little apartment that I was staying in for a work project to like to do R&D to make some of these and like, like it's just not worth trying to make some of these in a $20 Blender. Like it's just not, like it's like a toy. Like you're better off getting like something like an easy wake up and don't get an Oster, okay? The fourth Vitamix alternative that you should avoid is a Breville Blender. Breville was my step up from the $20 Blender. So I was like, you know what? I'm serious about this blending thing. I'm gonna get a good blender. I did all the research. I didn't wanna get a Vitamix. I didn't wanna go crazy. I didn't wanna spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars, but I wanted something that was quality. And Breville had some good reviews. I did all the review, looked at all the blender reviews and it had a glass jar and it worked. It was nice. It was actually like pretty good. Here's a couple problems with it. One, the glass jar broke. It just cracked. It just like sliced. It broke and it wasn't from a drop. It was just like, it just broke. And then I couldn't get ahold of anyone to fix it. Like I called Breville. Like Breville's customer service is like not existed. And I'm like, okay. Like I just Breville. Okay, so like those are four to avoid. Don't get those four please, okay? So if you want a Vitamix alternative, here's what you should get. Get a basic NutriBullet. Like the most simple NutriBullet. I've tested NutriBullet side by side with Vitamix and I've heard from dozens and dozens and dozens of people who tell me that they're not gonna get a Vitamix until their NutriBullet dies. And that is what I need to hear to recommend something that's not Vitamix. Simple, simple NutriBullet. They last with regular consistent use about a year. They're gonna treat you right. It's a low barrier to entry. I'll put a link in the bio for you to get. I think they're like 50, 60, 70 bucks. Now I do want to say this, if you don't want to get a Vitamix because of you don't want to spend like $600 on a Vitamix and I totally get that, you should know that you can get a Vitamix for like for under $300. Put a link in the bio for our deals page. I even feel uncomfortable recommending Vitamix's to my peers, like my friends that I grew up with who I know are like us and are like young families and we're still trying to figure things out and make things work and don't have money to blow. NutriBullet, simple. If you haven't subscribed, definitely do it already. If you haven't subscribed already, definitely do, thank you so much for watching. I will see you in the next one, goodbye. Like they call it a ninja for a reason, it's sharp and it will kill you. Now let's get to the fun stuff. Let's take the Vitamix and the NutriBullet in the kitchen and show the 10 things.
