    The Berg arrived and boy it's a beast :) I have made loads of smoothies for family with no bits at all and my morning green smoothie (coconut water/avocado/mango/spinach) is sooooo smooth :p As for durability only time will tell although it does come with a 7 year warranty thankfully.

    Just found this forum so joined as I wanted to ask how you're getting on with the Berg Blender? I've been researching it for the past week as it's hard to find any info/reviews on it. I'm in the UK as well, so £450 for a vitamix just isn't going to happen (as much on the principle as the actual cost!). I know it's only been a month since you've gotten it, but what sort of things are you making and would you recommend it as an alternative to the ninja/blendtec/vitamix? Many thanks!

    I just bought a Ninja Ultima. I made a smoothie blending raw beets, dates, frozen spinach, frozen kale, frozen collards, 2 bananas, chia seeds, and almond milk. It is very powerful, and very loud. $160 US. I am uncertain if they are available outside of the United States.

    I have a ninja and I love it...but I know you can get refurbished vitamix or blendtec, through their websites, for much less than buying new.

    Hi guys sorry for the late reply - Thus far fingers crossed the Berg has been a delight have been using it for breakfast smoothies, nut butters, nut milks and oat milks too. Had a go at making Vegan Chocolate Ice-cream where you use banana instead of dairy and then freeze - It was LUSH! :) and the family loved it for a change. I did a blog on blogger on it as I was so impressed so if you search google for 'Berg blender' and 'blogger' it should pop up with all the details.
