I'm swapping my bulky Vitamix for a personal blender — here are the 5 deals on my shortlist from $26

Fill, blend, and go. That's the motto behind the Hamilton Beach Go Sport, a personal blender that despite its affordable price packs a 600-watt motor. It's also received over 171 glowing review from Amazon users who say it's easy to clean and use. Just keep in mind, some users claim it struggles with frozen fruit.

Don't want to invest a lot in a personal blender? Then the Magic Bullet is for you. Priced comfortably under $50, this blender packs a 250-watt motor to whip up smoothies, shakes, and more. Just add your protein powder of choice and you're set! It can also be used to make pasta sauces and guac.

The Ninja Blast Max is capable of taking on any challenge you throw at it, including crushing ice and blitzing berries to make yummy smoothies. It comes with multiple blend settings to make sure your blender is using the right level of power for the task at hand, and the compact size means it’s a great option for anyone with a small kitchen.

The Nutribullet Pro 900 is a personal blender that's perfect for making smoothies (and sauces). My colleague Erin Bashford uses this blender every day for her morning smoothie, and it turns ice into liquid in mere seconds. On top of that, this model comes with sippy lids and blending cups with handles. In her Nutribullet Pro 900 review, she said the powerful 900 watt blades can transform solids to liquids in seconds and the cups are dishwasher safe, making for a super easy cleanup.
