Vitamix-hands down THE best blender. We’ve been using ours almost daily for years. Even take it on vacation when our accommodations have a full kitchen!
I will look at the Vitamix blenders. Thanks!
We use the Beast blende and love it.
I will look into it, thanks!
We use the Beast Blender. It’s small but mighty. Love it.
Thanks!
We are big fans of Vitamix, have had our for many years! And, I bought the stainless steel container last year and it is great!
Thank you!
Ugh- stomach bugs are terrible. Hope Maxwell is feeling better and that you are too, Maria! I was looking forward to hearing all about your Seattle trip and your food finds. Have a great weekend.
Thank you! I will have to go another time!
Glad you both are feeling better.
Thanks for all the good chili recipes going to get my slow cooker out😊
