An expensive blender that owners defend with unusual conviction. Twenty-year ownership accounts exist, which changes the price argument entirely.
This entry is written from the 4 sources listed at the bottom of the page. The numbers are our editorial estimates drawn from that material, not measurements, and no statistical sample sits behind them.
On the evidence gathered here, yes. 86% of owners say they would buy it again, and satisfaction is still 8.5 out of 10 two years in. Twenty-year daily-use accounts are documented.
Flat and high. The only complaint that survives the first month is the noise, and owners appear to accept it as the cost of the performance.
The noise is the thing owners never stop mentioning. Containers eventually cloud or crack after many years. Cheaper machines now cover casual smoothie use.
Twenty-year daily-use accounts are documented. Sentiment across the ownership period stays close to flat, which is rare: it reads 8.4 out of 10 in the first week and 8.5 two years later.
Worth it for: Daily smoothie, soup or nut-butter makers; People who keep appliances a decade or more; Anyone frustrated by burnt-out cheap blenders. Think twice if: You blend occasionally; Noise is a problem in your home; A $60 blender already does your job.
