High Powered Blenders – These are really more then blenders – they open up the foods cellular walls so you can gleam all that foods medicinal potential.
Vitamix ® - Should you need this blender for medical reasons (ie. food to be pushed through a feeding tube) or other liquid diet requirements. Note: Vitamix® will discount the blender with a Doctor’s script.
BlendTec - This is Vitamix’s only rival – it has the same performance but I have to say it looks much better sitting out on the counter top. There are several models on the market - know that you can purchase a mid-range model and still have a very professional product.
