I, as many here, did a lot of research. There isn't much out there on this blender. What I ended up doing was comparing the parts of each blender from the viatmix to Ninja to blendtec etc. that made them work better than others. The Ninja (I bought one [not from amazon] but realized as I opened the package it had been hastily washed, repackaged and returned. Obviously the first purchaser was not fond of it. I chose to return it promptly because 1. it had these blades that looked cheap and so much molded plastic everywhere. 2. the spindles were too loose. Which made me think it wouldn't last long and if the lids didn't lock they'd come flying out at me. 3. 90% of all the parts are cheap plastic; research shows ALL plastics are estrogenic not just BPA. I have a 3-year-old daughter who loves smoothies, I am not even going to attempt using a machine like it. 4. The jars crack frequently, and the blades need replaced way to soon. $$$. The Ninja belongs in a class of it's own... Infomercial hype and should never be used to compare a blender's ability to do its job. I digress...
After comparing many reviews and weeding through the hype and learning how the commercial blenders work I decided to search for something that shared those qualities, all Metal Drive, Reverse action, lots of power for home use and a glass or stainless steel blending pitcher to reduce exposure to estrogenic plastics and reduce the cost of replacement parts. on Ebay I learned that the old trusty Vitamix's of the 90s had stainless steel pitchers and an average wattage of 850. If 850 watts was all a commercial business needed then that's all I need at home. I won't be making 100 smoothies a day like the Vitamix would be expected to do. The Oster 1200 pro is an average of 900 which is more than the older Viatmix 3600s. Logic would say this blender is all I would need. So far I have made 4 smoothies and some frozen banana strawberry ice cream. I've read complaints of people not being able to use it without added liquid... why would you not add liquid to your smoothie? It is important to lubricate the blades and not push any machine with too many frozen solids or tough stems.
I used the commercial Vitamix blenders for 5 years at Starbucks. Even those machines had to have a thawing period for frozen fruit, had to have a liquid in them along with the ice and other ingredients to make smoothies and Frappacinos. They are indeed workhorses, but i don't need a workhorse like that at home. This blender is enough for me. It performs like a Vitamix. It creates a vortex, is programmed, has a glass pitcher, doesn't runaway on the counter (no serious vibration) yes it's loud (get a sound a dampener like smoothie shops have if thats a problem for you) Someone mentioned rust on their blades... don't rinse it and let it sit. I run soap and water through the blender then take it all apart and rinse each piece then air dry. I had to do the same for the vitamix's. Both the pitcher and the to-go cup work great on the blender.
The only Con i have experienced is the lid on the to-go cup. It slides forward when you take a drink, a minor annoyance. Maybe add a locking mechanism on the lid? I have no serious complaints about this blender. If I encounter anything I will update my review.
All in all this is a great machine.

Great blender that has a glass blending jar!
This blender has plenty of power. I use it almost every day to make my morning smoothies. It does bog down a bit when I use too many frozen fruit pieces. But that is my operation error. As with any blender, the amount of liquid vs the amount of food to be blended must be correct. I love, love the glass blending jar. This is the main purpose of choosing this blender. I try to eliminate as much plastics from my life as I can. The blender also comes with a plastic travel smoothie cup that you can attach to the blending blade and blend your smoothie right in the cup. The travel cup has a travel lid with sip spout. I haven't used the plastic cup and most likely won't, but it would be useful if you do not have an aversion to plastics. This blender is a bit loud. It is very loud and ear splitting on high and part of the smoothy function. I use that speed briefly, but daily. I have been using this blender for over 5 months and it still works as good as the first time. I purchased this to replace my older Oster blender that could not keep up with all the frozen fruit. That blender, too, had a glass blending jar. I looked at some of the more popular brands but passed due to the plastic blending jar. I am happy with my purchase.

Es una licuadora de una calidad excelente, yo conocía el modelo porque en unas cafeterías que trabaje la tenían y era buenisima, hace el hielo como si fuera smootie 🙈

Llego rapidísimo, tarde más en concretar mi pedido que en lo que llego
Les cuento mi experiencia, ese mismo artículo pero en lugar del vaso para licuados, con el procesador de alimentos, lo pedí en Walmart on line , pero después de varios días me lo cancelaron , allá me había costado 2400 (+o-), estaba muy enojado porque aparte de que me cancelaron la compra no me devolvían mi efectivo, entre a ver a Amazon y veo la oferta (que compré) y de inmediato la aparte , fui y reclame en la otra empresa hasta que me devolvieron mi dinero, me lo devolvieron y de inmediato pague , al otro día llego
Estoy totalmente satisfecho, estoy tan satisfecho que los reyes de mis hijos los pedí por aquí y una batería de cocina también la pedí por aquí
Siempre me ha gustado comprar en Amazon , porque es económico y rapidísimo
