Online shopping for Blenders

We bought this item as a way of saving a few dollars over the well established Vita Mix blender, and boy were we sorry, and quickly returned it. After having seen the demo of the Blend Tec we thought that it seemed to be on the same level, but after getting the unit home and trying it on several different concoctions, we found that it truly was unworthy of the money we paid for it, and returned it within about 10 days of it's purchase.
The lid was awkward, difficult to seat in the top. It was overly noisey. You don't need a vortec engine to power a blender, although this has one. If you don't watch it constantly while using it it will work it's way right off your counter. Upon start up, it goes from zero to bazillion in .000009 seconds, so you better have a handle on it from the get-go. And clean up is not as easy as they make it sound. It seemed to smell of an overly worked electrical component also, when trying to grind up ice or carrots, but maybe that was because it was still new and working off it's "new car smell". It was too much disappointment for us and for a blender, we didn't want to get stuck with a $400.00 piece of kitchen real estate that would eventually end up in the thrift store.
