The blender is a small appliance that most of us have but rarely give much thought to, that is, until it doesn’t work. There is a level of frustration with the lowly blender. All we ask is that it blends well, crushes ice and lasts as long as the blender our mother’s had (I don’t remember ever seeing my mother buy a blender in over 40 years. She still has the same Oster since she got married).
Quality is a big issue. Blenders just don’t last as long. Smoothie making seems to wear them out faster than ever. I went looking for a blender that can handle the tough jobs, puree smoothly, crush ice and last longer than a few weeks. If you are looking for the best of the best, you cannot go wrong with either the Blendtec or the Vita-Mix. They are both outstanding blenders, in a class by themselves with different features but both can handle any difficult blending job for years to come. Both come with longer warranties than the industry average. I even have a couple of recipes for you to use to break in that new blender!
