Why? I'm a Vitamix owner - I expect it to outlive me, probably. It does
everything I want a blender to do, and is a ton more effective than the
Oster and KitchenAid I owned previously. As a result, it actually gets used
more, which tends to make the price more palatable. So, why did you swear
at yours?
