I'd just like to toss in a recommendation for something I've found very useful called the Magic Bullet blender. I think it sells for around $50. It's a small device that used to be advertised on infomercials. My daughter talked me into buying one so she could make smoothies. I expected it to be a piece of junk that would be tossed out within a year but after about 4+ years of use, this thing has really impressed me. It only has one speed - "warp 5" but it has enough horse power to devour just about anything I put in it. I use it to puree onions, garlic, etc. It comes with a half dozen or so containers so it's much easier than a regular blender to use on multiple food items and it's extremely easy to clean.
...And it crushes ice like a champ for iced coffee, smoothies, shakes, etc.
