Actually wrote up a custody agreement between the two of us - I got it for 2 weeks, he got it for 2 weeks. Only paid $350, I believe and it was worth every penny. It's used multiple times a day, every day. Soup, ice cream, nut milks, smoothies, sour cream, coffee grinder, it can do anything. Not knocking your selection at all because I'm a diehard kitchen aid fan in all other regards, but I used to have the 5-speed and it just didn't cut it for me. After I shredded ice for the first time, the blades were spent. If you're not crushing ice you should be good to go for general food processing. If you ever consider stepping over to the Vitamix side...give me a call. We'll talk. :-)Origami Angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03717995088741175466noreply@blogger.com
