Just leased an Ioniq 6 and been loving it. Depending on what you consider affordable, it checks your boxes! I leased mine during a major sale and with a trade in, though.

Plus I just looked at the price. I also have a Ninja - $90. Vitamix - $600. I’d have to be blending a whole lot to shell out that much, but I’m not, so I didn’t. The Ninja works great and is the best blender I’ve used so far, so I don’t see a reason to upgrade. Use what works for you!
