This is on sale at Aldi today for $99 as a special buy so you'll have to be quick. I bought one this morning and just gave it a whirl. It's powerful and quite.
It's a fantastic value pro blender that is much cheaper than Vitamixs, Blendtecs, Optimums and Omniblends, although slightly less powerful. To be comparable to these blenders, it also has a 5 year warranty.
I've used a blender to create a breakfast/lunch smoothie (veg, fruits and nuts) everyday for over a year now, except when traveling, but not much else. Now with this blender, I can even do more with it.
