Got a question about my blender from someone looking for a blender to make smoothies! I *LOVE* this Blendtec blender. I chose it over the Vitamix way back when because the blades aren't sharp and the jars are dishwasher safe even though the blades don’t remove from the jar. They're pricey, but honestly so worth it. I bought mine 2016 or 2017 - I've ran it 768 times from the counter on the front and it's still perfect. HIGHLY recommend! 💯
