There are also Vitamix machines that are a little cheaper, but they are not much smaller. (Galaxus range)
There are also smaller blender jars for this blender, if this is an option.

I bought the blender because of its performance, as I make a lot of green smoothies.
For fruit smoothies, a little less power is okay too. I already had the blender in my small single flat with a spartan kitchen.

I can recommend this blender with a clear conscience.
