Can't believe I have been standing by tapping my toes while my Cuisinart blender struggled.
The end result was chunky and a bit unappetizing. My drinks were WARM b/c it took SO long.
The Vitamix is THE only blender which can handle all the kale and celery I liquefy, in SECONDS. I bought a Breville last week, it was double the price of the Cuisinart and delivered the same end result. I returned it the next day.
I shave 15 minutes off my blending routine by using the Vitamix. I am blown away by the power and performance of this baby.
My new favorite gadget. Worth the extra investment.
