I've owned this blender for about two months and never regretted my buying decision. After years of buying cheap blenders only to have them not blend thoroughly, "walk" on the counter, or the motors smoking and burning out, I decided to buy a machine that will last and do a good job. This thing is built like a tank! HEAVY with an industrial power cord to handle the powerful motor. Whatever I put in it blends perfectly smooth with no remaining pulp or seeds. The machine will never vibrate or "walk" on your counter. The first time you lift it you'll know you bought a real beast. Downside? It has a large footprint so it'll take up a good amount of counter space. It's not something you'll want to move back and forth from a pantry on a regular basis, it's heavy. If you're looking for a heavy duty blender that will be your last purchase, this one is well worth the price tag.
