The Best Blender For Shakes?

[mhawk]

My vitamix ROCKS!!! I went through 2 waring blenders and a kitchen aid (they last on average about 3-8 months). Now that I have my Vitamix my life is complete. It is expensive ($450 US) but well worth the money. You only have to buy one more blender in your life and never have to worry about it breaking. When I was remodeling my kitchen for 3 months, if i didn't have my Vitamix, I would have starved to death. It is so strong and powerful it can move across the counter on its own...

I can tell you which juicer not to buy. Don't buy a Juiceman from juiceman.com I had a Juicelady JL600 which has served me well but now that I need a replacement blade for it, they quit making the parts. So what good is it to buy a very expensive, high quality juicer with the hope of it lasting a long time, when one day you need a part and they quit making them. Might as well save your money and buy a much less expensive blender or juicer and replace it with a new cheap one if it gives a problem.

Juicelady/juiceman are no-no's
