The BEST Blender on the Market

I purchased a Kitchen Aid 3-speed blender at my local Wal-Mart for $77.00 and it has been worth every penny. It crushes ice effortlessly, makes the best smoothies in seconds flat and is very easy to operate and clean. I like how it starts off slow at all speeds so it doesn't splatter powders on the sides of the jar. No more scraping the sides with a spatula! It's very quiet too, so that early morning smoothie won't wake up the whole house. The glass jar is very thick and durable, and getting it replaced if you break it is very easy too. Kitchen Aid has a great customer service department and delivers quickly. I've had several blenders in my life and this one puts them all to shame!
