But are they accessible; I have always wondered about that.

I would agree. Although the VitaMix blenders are on the pricy end, they are incredibly awesome with blending ice and frozen fruits. The Ninja does not leave smoothies as smooth as the VitaMix. You can usually get the VitaMixes on Amazon refurbished for a much better price than buying them new.

I highly recommend the Vitamix 5200 (or current equivalent). It makes great smoothies, soups, and desserts, it's easy to use, easy to clean, and it's blind friendly. It's not a bullet blender, so it may not quite be what you're looking for. But I think it's worth considering.

My boss swears by his Ninja. He says it makes anything from a smoothie to soup. Don't know about accessibility, though.

Hi everyone,

I'm possibly wanting to get something new, as I have an old fashion blender that I've had since my college days, over 20 years ago. While thinking about making myself a breakfast smoothy, I thought that it would be convenient to have one of those bullet cups rather than a whole blender full of the stuff.

I'm wondering what you guys might use and what works well and is accessible for a blind person. I really don't want anything big or complex, as I wouldn't use this for anything extraordinary.

I've heard of things like the Ninja or the nutria-bullet, but I don't know the difference between those things.

Thanks for any thoughts or advice.

Jim
