Any recommendations for a counter top blender that is as nearly as powerful as a Vita Mix but less costly?

Does any mommy's out there know what kind of hand blender is good for blending up baby food. I was looking at cuisinart products but im not sure. I need something that will blend meat, vegetables and rice so that the food is safe enough for my 10mon ld daughter can eat . She doesn't have any teeth so i need something that will work.

Get a food mill. They grind food down, not to a paste, but to small pieces. Some even have interchangable disks so you can have bigger or smaller sized pieces. We have a Rosle, that costs about $120. Its really good. But, OXO makes one as well, thats only about $50, and is almost as good. I've tried the Munchkin Baby Food Grinder, and I thought it was a piece of junk. It didn't work well, leaks, has lots of small parts, and really only works on food that's already soft.
