Tired of messing around with a sub-par blender when you are making smoothies (or blending soup for a puree.)
Amazon has the KitchenAid 5-Speed Blenders with Polycarbonate Jars for $66.37 (reg. $129) with FREE Super Saver shipping.
I’m thinking from the reviews that this blender might be on par with the SNL Super Bass-o-Matic ’76.
