Yanno, **'Toons** , you wouldn’t have these issues if you’d use your blender like normal people do: for making frozen daquiris and margaritas! 😃 I don’t know what blenders I’ve owned - I think one was an Oster, but I wouldn’t swear to it. The biggest problem I had was the doggone glass vessel chipping. Not that I use them all that often. In fact, I can’t recall the last time mine came out of the cabinet. So I’m no help. Guess you didn’t need to read this at all. Sorry. ---

> [@SeaDragonTattoo](#): > > When I was in the blended coffee business, we had Vitamix blenders on the back counter. All-day long workhorses, those were. I’ve recommended them to a couple friends since and they’ve been very happy with them. That’s what I came in to say. Get a Vitamix and be done with it. They’re pricey, but you’ll never buy another blender. Also, it is so powerful you can make hot soup in it in just 2 minutes. ---

> [@No\_umlaut\_for\_U](#): > > Laboratories buy Waring blenders for food sample prep. I never saw one burn out. Ever. When I started my lab 11 years ago, I bought [this Waring blender](http://www.amazon.com/Waring-Pro-Professional-Blender-Chili/dp/B00004S8FE) to make food for insect rearing. Its not fancy - has only 3 settings (OFF, LOW AND HIGH) but it’s a beast. Thing has been blending without incident all this time. Warings are used for tissue homogenization in many labs (blending a mouse anyone?). Good machines. ---

> [@Cartooniverse](#): > > **MacTech** , [This BlendTec’s tempting !!!](http://www.amazon.com/Blendtec-Stealth-Blender-Comes-WildSide/dp/B00D40YACW/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1426960338&sr=8-14&keywords=blendtec+blenders). Now that presents a real conundrum - I would need a copious number of margaritas before shelling out $1,200 on a blender, but can’'t make the margaritas without one… Or you could use my secret recipe - shoved pre-crushed ice into the tequila bottle, pass a lime over the top of said bottle, and drink.
