Blender to make fruit smoothies

[dingdongrb]

I'm looking for some recommendations for a blender to make fruit smoothies at home.

 

Something that is not too expensive (less than 2k THB).

 

Something that is durable and can crush ice.

 

Something that is easy to clean.

 

Not sure if there is a better forum to make this post but if so could a mod please move it for me. TIA

these are small, cheap, easy to clean.

not sure about the ice.

I've had this one over a year and it's been really good, comes with 2 sizes, i now use the smaller size for smoothies, ice and frozen fruit no problem, 500 baht

wife bought a few of the lazada ones and they didnt last more than a year or so then she got a Sharp EMC 15, brilliant, no problems at all and just keeps going, the cheaper ones do ok at the start but they are not well made(materials used) and they break down if used often

I've seen street vendors use the one above, solid performance, the 200-300 baht model will breakdown, ice kills it

Around new year we bought a Sharp EM Ice2 from Powerbuy based on a friend's recommendation; been great, gets good family use 2-3 times most days for fruit smoothies

The Lazada link price is only for replacement cups with lid, not the "blender".

I have this one and I love it.  I use it a lot and especially the little cannisters to make milk shakes and smoothies.  I got rid of my Panasonic never looked back

I bough a NutriBullet from the UK. Got some power, mushes up anything, but maybe not large enough for two people.

I bought this Tefal at HomePro a couple of months ago and have been very happy with it.

Just don't buy the Phillips combo unit.  Terrible design.  The small cup turns to open in the same direction one has to turn it to remove it from the blender.  The blender collar is so high, one can not grab the base, one has to twist the cup instead and if you are not super careful, it can open and spill it's contents into the blender base...which for some inexplicable reason has an opening that allows anything spilled to go right into the motor compartment...duh.

I use my mouth - does everything you mention and cost nothing. Only drawback is you need to wait till the next morning for the "smoothie" to come out. ????

Depending on your type of smoothies .  The amount of ice, milk , fruit, or any other additives. You will need one with a strong motor.  Especially if you like the consistency kind of thick.  
I recommend any of more popular western type brands.  Such as TFal, Sharp, etc.  I did purchase a local brand from Tesco once.  I recommend staying away from those brands.  It had a powerful motor.  Four months later the shaft in the motor broke.
