I use it every day for the green smoothies, and about 4 or 5 times a week for other stuff, and it works great. I've had it for about two years and haven't had any problems with it at all. I've read that the Vitamix is awesome, but I already had the food processor and it does the job. I think most blenders are just not that tough - we stopped using ours when we got the food processor. Jess,

So I first heard about this on your blog and did some research and decided to give this a try and I love, love, love them! BUT, in the month or so that I've been doing this, I've gone through two brand new blenders (not very frugal). The first was a slightly lower-end model so I thought ok, fine, let me replace it with some thing a bit nicer. But that broke, too (it was a Black & Decker blender that automatically turned off when the motor got overheated). Green smoothies seem relatively popular and not everyone out there can have bought a vitamix for a few hundred dollars to enjoy the, right? Hey!
