I have owned two vintage Vitamix blenders, and I did not think anything else would ever compare.
Thank you, Ingo, for finding a way to make a comparable, amazing blender at more than half the price. I am so, SO happy with this blender, it is powerful, not too loud, and is heavy and strong enough to tackle everything I throw its way. Beyond that, the customer service and commitment of the CEO is really unexpected. They are ready to stand behind a product that they've put their heart(s) into--I recommend this blender, and company, wholeheartedly. :) !!!!
