Which blender? Total Blender or Vitamix?

[bigredclown]

Hi all, Im a big red clown and now i will only be juggling fresh raw produce - no more of these bowling pins or flame sticks - I becoming a raw big red clown! :P

I was wondering though - which blender should is use. Im already vegan so i only want it to make green smoothies mostly and even some of the other "fancy" things like making nut butter for eg but im unsure about which blender would be best - a Vitamix or Total Blender by Blendtech.

If anyone has experienced both or is well up on the topic, id love to hear!

thanks :0)

I would go with the VitaMix. My friend got the Blendtec and I got the VitaMix and she wishes she had gotten the VitaMix now, although she is getting along just fine with the Blendtec. It just doesn't have the same power and control. I got mine at a reasonable price through ebay, Costco was selling them a while ago for about $100 more than I paid. The VitaMix really is the king of blenders!
