Today on Groupon, you can get a Vitamix 2-Speed Blender (Factory Reconditioned) for $239.99 with FREE shipping.
While I own a Blendtec, in my mind, there is not a lot of difference between the two until you get into the high dollar models. (I know, right, like a $200 blender is high dollar, but there are blenders for $1K.)
And while I realize it is a chunk of change, you will be in shock at the amount of foods you can make from your high-powered blender including low-calorie soft serve or dairy-free cream of mushroom soup.
