This blender is like a Vitamix, but cheaper - Braun Powerblend 9 Jug Blender review

Braun Powerblend 9 Jug Blender on the countertop.

Blenders are getting better and techier by the second. Normally, leads to inflated price tags and complex systems, but not with the Braun PowerBlend 9. It's just like a Vitamix, but with a petite price tag. 

I’ve been testing the best blenders for years, so you could say that I've (almost) seen it all. Generally, I look for top-notch performance, across smoothies, dips, and ice cones. I also like easy controls, cleaning, and storage options too, but, I have a special soft spot for soup-making models, such as the Braun PowerBlend 9.
