I’ve been looking for a blender for a while. The Consumer Reports top rated one isn’t available, but Cooks Illustrated via Consumer Search likes this $55 retro Oster Beehive Blender. The main issue appears to be the rubber piece between the drive and blades. This tears if the blades are working too hard. For $4 you get a rubber drive coupler to replace it.

we’ve had 3 of these. never had the rubber gasket wear out. had a motor die on one of them. they aren’t fancy but they work fine.
