Just had a $30 blender die on me mid-smoothie after 2 months - should I go cheap again or bite the bullet?

I picked up this NutriPro blender from a Goodwill in Austin for 8 bucks, worked fine for two months, then yesterday it just stopped spinning with half a frozen banana in there. Maybe it's just me but I feel like cheap thrift store appliances either last forever or die fast with no in between. Anyone else find that older name-brand stuff from garage sales holds up better than newer budget junk?

Man, it's a blender not a life decision. If $30 stings that bad just grab another thrift one and see what happens.

Thrift store finds are like stray cats, you never know which ones will stick around.

Honestly @kim.zara, that's a perfect way to put it.
