I make hot sauces and will be using this blender for that purpose too.
I DO NOT HAVE $400 FOR A VITAMIX BLENDER
What’s the best, hot sauce pureeing blender I can buy for around $80-150?

CleanBlend on Amazon. I’ve seen some great reviews on their stuff from quite a few different people on the Facebook hot sauce groups I’m in. They’re similar in power to Vitamix but a lot cheaper.

Get a blender where you can buy an additional blender cup. That way your smoothies won’t taste spicy. Even with thorough cleaning odors can linger and capcaisin can be pervasive.

Not exactly what you asked for but for that price you can get a real nice and high quality stick blender. ESGE is a very good brand and a staple in countless professional kitchens and if you take some time to blend you can get results that are 95% of what a 400 dollar Vitamix would get you.
Just don’t get confused by the seemingly low power and speed of the technical details in comparison to other, cheaper stick blenders. Afaik they measured those stats in a different way than other companies. Something about remeasuring before and after gear reduction or something like that.

Just saying, I’ve owned my vitamix for over 20 years.

Ninja makes great blenders. I’ve used mine for years making fine hot sauces and tons of other stuff.
If you can find a HomGeek, get one. I have a hot sauce company and have used mine for every batch I’ve made over 5 years. I got it on Amazon. It’s the high powered model and was well under $200.

Get a Vitamix clone. Less than $100. There are several on the market.
In addition to a blender, a good food mill will serve you for years and it only improves hot sauces.

A Cuisinart Food Processer is in that range and makes great consistency hot sauce even with just the base attachments, although it does require some mashing through a strainer (Honestly I have enjoyed the flavor of the sauces a lot more this way than with a Vitamix, where the pulp inclusion seems to reduce the flavor profile)
Bonus that it’s great for all kinds of cooking.

I have had 2 vitamix blenders, and I am current satisfied with my ninja, which is considerably cheaper. Combo blender, smoothie thingy, and food processor from costco for less than 200.
