My choice after long search
I live in a large city, and looked at blenders in "big box" stores, mall stores, and many smaller kitchen ware venders. I also looked at blenders sold on the internet and read a lot of reviews. I wanted a large glass pitcher, metal or at least strong chasis, low noise, and good build quality. I did not want "touch pad" controls thinking touch pads scratch up and blister up over time. In stores I saw a lot of blenders with flimsy plastic chasis painted up to look like metal, rubber drive teeth, poor fit and finish, and other durability issues. On line I saw even mid and higher grade blenders reported to have quality control issues like leaking and motor failure. I chose this Villaware model even though earlier Villaware blenders got a lot of complaints. I reasoned that the specs published looked good, it had a 2 year warranty, and it was not expensive. Compared to everything I saw and read about, this Villaware blender seems a good choice, and maybe the best bargain. Build quality, fit...
Very good blender, but does have "air bubble issues"
I bought this blender to replace my old Cuisinart that died after 7 years.
It is not a silent blender but at medium to low speeds it is quite quiet, but it does get noisy at higher speeds.
It comes with a square container that suffers from the air bubble forming around the blades when blending things that are not all that thin. for my fruit smoothies I have to run it then stop and shake it, then run it, stop and shake it... This as not an issue with my old blender, but when mixing thinner things this is not as much of a problem.
It does not look cheap and it has the all metal drive system which is a plus. For the $100 price point it is a quality blender all things considered.
I gave it 4 stars for build quality, noise levels and looks. If it would blend thicker things without the air bubble forming I would give it 5 stars.
