This is our 3rd … and FINAL attempt at replacing our beloved GE blender. Our first try was a $359 Vita-Mix that we saw demonstrated at [..]. We returned it after a week due to the noise and cost. Then, last night, we purchased a Cuisinart with a food processor attachment. It rattled so much it shook the counters, the noise was unbearable, and it had 5 parts to the canister alone. Finally, went online last night and searched all the reviews for blenders. Found the KitchenAid KSB560 to have the highest ratings (for blenders around $100.) So we returned the crappy Cuisinart today and searched out my KitchenAid. Found it at Bed Bath and Beyond. It is everything a blender should be … heavy duty, quiet, easy to use, quiet, easy to clean, quiet and it blends ice so well that my son and I made snow … real snow in California. Go figure. Get your hands on this blender if you want pure joy!
