NutriBullet
Bundles a 64oz pitcher, two personal cups and a working tamper under a load-sensing auto cycle for about $120. One-year warranty and fixed pitcher blades are the honest tradeoffs for that price.

At around $120, the 1400–1500W-class motor, five manual speeds, load-sensing auto cycle, full-size pitcher, two cups and tamper are unusually generous. The low price is honestly reflected in a one-year warranty, noisier operation and less serviceable fixed pitcher blade system.
Impact-resistant and dishwasher-safe.
Corrosion-resistant cutting surfaces for frozen and fibrous ingredients.
Allows safe intervention during thick pitcher blends.
Minimal dot-matrix interface, stable suction feet and a coherent pitcher/personal-cup system. The large pitcher is poor for tiny batches, and the vented lid has more crevices than ideal.
One-year warranty is the major compromise. Containers are sturdy, but fixed pitcher blades and personal-cup seals make this less repairable than higher-ranked machines.
