I also used a cheap blender for a while, and it served me very well. But like you, I couldn't blend greens very effectively. they were just not coming out very smooth, and forget about blending celery!

So I bought a Blend Tec. yes it is very expensive. but since I use it everyday, It was worth it for me. It makes great green smoothies, no matter what kind of greens I put in, or how much, it does the job.

I've also heard that the Vitamix brand is great. Similar price, amazing reputation. I personally opted for the blend tec mainly because it's not so huuuge.

Just checked..£450 for the cheapest Blend Tec !!! might stick with lumpy smoothies for just now.. im a poor student you see, rich in soul but short on hard cash. surely the government should provide some kind of public service for this kind of thing!!

Have you looked at a Rhino Blender? ( http://www.juiceproducer.com/rhinoblenders.php )

It's a new brand and seems to have similar performance to the more established VitaMix and BlendTec but for a less prohibitive price in the UK market.
