  1. Would like to see the runner up and why it fell short. It would be nice to see a chart with each model number and a score given for each area the blender was tested. Also your web site should not require a paid membership. I would rather ads be shown.

  2. Which blender crushes ice the best, and will hold up well? Ice usually kills my (I admit, I cheap out sometimes…) blenders. THIS TIME, I want the BEST! (Yes, I understand it has to do the other blending as well.) I need one that's "family sized", and I promise to get a GOOD one this time! After all of the blenders I've purchased, I could have had one that was gold plated! Thank you to whoever knows what brand I should trust for pure BRAWN!

  3. There is a design flaw in this blender that you should be aware of.
    In the blade section of the maker there is ring sealer to stop leaks.
    The problem is the ring itself is not guarded from water or other food particles from getting in. This results in the ring becoming a magnet for mold. It also will start smelling rotten. I just return mine due to this. My research has found similar problems. Please report this

  4. Wife bought me a Nutribullet 900. Was loud from the first day but after a couple of months was "hearing damage" loud! Not kidding. Junk.
    Would have liked to know how loud these blenders are and what thoughts you have after long term testing.

  5. So far everything I own that was recommended by America's Test Kitchen has been good; the Broil King griddle, KitchenAid slow cooker, Chef's Choice knife sharpener and the Presto waffle maker. I have a Ninja blender on order. My VitaMix with the blades way down at the bottom is a pain to clean.
