We were trying to save money after the wedding and bought some Wave Action thing. It's horrible. It doesn't blend food, just drinks and ice cream.

I love it because it goes from low to super high. It's even really good at grinding dates pits, not that you would want to, but just to give you an example of it's power.<br /><br />In the Raw really likes her Oster which is also a lot less pricey, if you're interested. http://earthmother-intheraw.blogspot.com/2010/03/lets-talk-blenders-shall-we.html<br /><br />good luck on your hunt!Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09891973866125952802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152317136668245745.post-82773673089480247752010-04-08T14:52:43.407-05:002010-04-08T14:52:43.407-05:00I have seen live demonstrations for both the Blend...I have seen live demonstrations for both the Blendtec and the Vitamix and decided to go with the Blendtec. I got mine at Costco so it came with a seven year warranty. It works so good that you don't need a tamper for it like you do with the Vitamix. I use mine at least once a day so it is left out all the time. It fits nicely under my cabinet, the Vitamix does not, it is too tall. Also you don't need a separate jar for dry and wet ingredients like you do with the Vitamix. I think the Blendtec rocks. And lastly, I know this shouldn't matter but the Blendtec is way prettier!:) Hope this helps.veganhomemakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15739062294069415973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152317136668245745.post-33655326253583401752010-04-08T13:58:38.728-05:002010-04-08T13:58:38.728-05:00I bought a Vitamix 4500 from specialtyblenders.com...I bought a Vitamix 4500 from specialtyblenders.com for $329. It looks like they raised their prices a little since then though. Still cheaper than anywhere else though.<br /><br />We chose the 4500 because of the longer warranty and having seen them both in person, the 4500 is just a whole lot sturdier. The Blendtec's are nice but seem like they are designed more for aesthetics than durability.<br /><br />Of course Blendtec has those videos where they destroy things in the blender, so they may be more sturdy than they look.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07227800602115729872noreply@blogger.com
