Guest guest Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Is the body plastic on yours? I have this Waring U.S. made and I love this blender. It's a brushed stainless steel and the container is thick glass and it grinds up everything.http://www.cooking.com/products/shprodde.asp?SKU=103921 & ar=1 Donna --- Sweet Susan <ibellydance4u2 wrote: > Hello, > > My Waring Pro blender of three years is slowly > breaking apart, and I will need to replace it soon. > It has a plastic cover on top of the motor which > cracked and now half of it broke off.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 I just bit the bullet today and bought a new Vita Mix...cause I am also finding that my cuisenart blender ( and it's been a good one) just can't handle seeds and grains. right now, Vita Mix is offering a " pay over three months dea " which made buying a $500 blender a little easier to swallow. but those who have used one, swear by them www.vitamix.com Kathleen VA - Sweet Susan Saturday, February 23, 2008 5:11 PM Blender Recommendations Hello, My Waring Pro blender of three years is slowly breaking apart, and I will need to replace it soon. It has a plastic cover on top of the motor which cracked and now half of it broke off. Grr! These blenders are made with too many plastic pieces that easily break. Anyhoo, I am in search of a new blender... I make fruit smoothies every day for breakfast, so I need something that is built to withstand everyday use...and will last!

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Hi! I'm new here and enjoying everyone's posts and recipees immensely. Just had to answer this one. We spent years reading about the Vita-Mix blender and debating if we should spend so much money on one. Now, after owning one for over 10 years, we couldn't do without it. I make smoothies every morning, lots of soups, and even " liquid salads " . Also tofu puddings, tofu whipped cream and too many other yummy concoctions to mention. The motor is SO powerful, and it is so easy to clean. I would recommend it to anyone.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Hey Folks, I'm somewhat new here. I owned a coffeehouse for years and I would highly recomend the Vita-mix blender. We used sveral brands of blenders and none of them held up like the Vita-mix does. We have two of them and they are used to make about fifty smoothies a day. The only problem we have ever had with them is the bearing would occasionally wear out on the bottom of the pitcher. These are easily unscrewed and replaced. The cost is high, but well worth it.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 I bought a VitaMix about 2-3 weeks ago and really like it. True, it was very expensive, but it cuts through anything and does a terrific job of making fruit smoothies (which I also make everyday). I've also heard good things about the BlendTec blender.
