 | Breville 800JEXL Juice Fountain Elite 1000-Watt Juice Extractor
Buy new: $258.33 / Used from: $210.00 Most of the Breville products are made of die-cast metal which makes them much stronger and long lasting. This is really important to me when I am buying products because I want them to last. Especially when you spend this amount of money. I also love that you don't have to chop all of your fruits and veges into itty-bitty pieces to juice them. That's why this is my pick.

 | Breville BJE200XL 700-Watt Compact Juice Fountain
Buy new: $98.99 / Used from: $87.99 OPTION B: This is a much less expensive model and although it doesn't have the power that the previous one does, I still love Breville. They really stand by their products.

 | Breville BBL600XL Ikon 750-Watt 51-Ounce Blender
Buy new: $177.98 / Used from: $119.00 This blender is die-cast again, meaning it is made of one piece of metal. I really like that it is dishwasher safe. My husband and I make everything from smoothies to sauces to margaritas with this blender. Breville blenders can make super fine ice shavings as well.

 | KitchenAid KSB560OB 5-Speed 56-Ounce Blender, Onyx Black
Buy new: $88.77 OPTION B: This is another great blender. I don't have one personally but a close friend does and she really likes it. the cool thing is that with the polycarbonate top, it won't break.
|
 | Vita-Mix 1300 TurboBlend 4500
Buy new: $375.00 OPTION C: This is the blender that they use in places like Jamba Juice and smoothie shops. It was rated #1 on consumer reports as the best blender on the market. However the price reflects that. I personally don't feel like I need a 2+ horsepower blender but it is rated #1.

 | Cuisinart DLC-2011BCN Prep 11 Plus Food Processor, Brushed Chrome
Buy new: $172.45 / Used from: $162.99 Cuisinart invented the food processor and so I trusted them when I bought mine. I have also worked in commercial kitchens that used the Cuisinart models. I love the extra blades for slicing and shedding! They have other models that vary in capacity so you can buy exactly what you need.
|
 | KitchenAid KFPW760WH 700-Watt 12-Cup Food Processor, White
Buy new: $179.19 OPTION B: Again, I haven't used KitchenAid's food processor personally, but I have friends that swear by their products.

 | KitchenAid KSM150PSOB Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, Onyx Black
Buy new: $242.99 I LOVE my mixer. I could never make creamy mashed potatoes before, but I made them in the mixer and they came out perfect. I don't always use my mixer, but it is worth its weight in gold when the holidays come around.

 | Cuisinart CPT-180BCH Metal Classic 4-Slice Toaster, Brushed Stainless/Black
Buy new: $74.44 / Used from: $55.00 My mom bought my husband and I this toaster and what a fabulous one it is. I often buy hot dog and hamburger buns on sale and freeze them until I need them. This toaster has a defrost button that warms the bread perfectly. I love that their are two separate dials so I can control one side and my husband the other. The slots are nice and wide as well.

 | Breville BCS500XL 9.6 Volt Cordless Immersion Blender with Recharging Base
Buy new: $101.93 / Used from: $75.95 This is used more often that I thought it would be. I try to make soup at home and this is good for blending in the pot rather than risking blending the hot liquid in a blender. I also used it to make small batches of whip cream. My husband loves making small batches of wet rubs for the bbq.
|
 | KitchenAid KHB100ER Hand Blender, Empire Red
Buy new: $44.99 OPTION B: Another KitchenAid product. I haven't used this one but if you want to save money check it out. KitchenAid does have great customer service. There are also Cuisinart immersion blenders as well.
