Been needing a new blender for a while, and kept thinking I should save up for a vitamix. And I'm sure Vitamix purists will say I should have. But on say for $140, this blender is AMAZING and everything I could want. The presets work great, the volume is awesome, and cleaning is way easier than any other blender I've used. I've used it for pumpkin soup, smoothies, and a little food processing. I have literally zero complaints.See full review
