Do you find yourself saying "Oh, I really wish I could do XYZ buy my blender isn't powerful enough" When I see them demonstrated, I just walk away thinking how glad I am not to be among the few who need to make soup in a blender. |

You might want to haunt the thrift shops for a while. I picked up a Vita-Mix Super 3600 in mint condition at a local thrift shop for the princely sum of CDN $10.00. It is a great machine but, I'm sure I'd never be able to rationalize spending what they want for a new one. Ross |

Before looking further, keep in mind that--despite what the ads imply--it's just a blender. You make hot soups by putting in hot ingredients, and you make smoothies and the like by putting in very cold ingredients. It's a powerful blender, but just a blender. -- to respond, change "spamless.invalid" with "optonline.net" please mail OT responses only |
