>but IMO anyone with a job should get a Vita-Mix and not screw around <
By that sort of reasoning, anyone with a kitchen should have a fully dressed Montegue.
Alright. Everybody! Stand up if you have anything made by Montegue in your home kitchen. Hmmmmph. Everybody stayed seated. Go figure.
In the real world, price and suitability for the purpose determine value. And for most people, even those who use their blenders far more than I do, a Vita-Mix is not fair value, because it's far more blender than they need.
My Oster, which I just replaced, cost me something like 29 bucks when I bought it more than 20 years ago. Nothing wimpy about that. The Krupps I bought, which more than meets my needs, cost only about one quarter of the Vita-Mix. If it turns out I have to replace it every 2-3 years (which I don't expect to happen), I'm still ahead of the game, moneywise. |
