Buy it for life

I had a Black and Decker cheapo blender before. One day, it just stopped working. Did my research and got the best.

We had a BlendTec for 10 years. Loved it as we had small counter top space when we got it. If you do a lot of stuff other than smoothies, such as hummus and pesto and dressings, the Vitamix edges it out cuz of the tamper. pic.twitter.com/JEu7dsjfMC

That tamper definitely helps. Vitamix is built like a tank. A lot of shops around here have the professional model with the cover. It's powerful and loud!
