    I have a refurbished vitamix and it came with a 7 year warranty. I love it and use it quite often. It is worth the money

    Sounds like the Osterizer gave you good value, maybe get another from the same company?


    That said -not that you asked about this, but I don't think you'll get another bunch of decades out of something under $50 these days. Almost every product in the range I wanted to spend had at least some reviewers saying the product burned out after a few years. Disposable stuff. I think the more expensive blenders might do better that way.

    I agree. My first microwave lasted 25 years and I expect the current one to last 5 at the most. My Osterizer was used when it was given to me and I have had it for at least 35 years. I doubt if any of their current products will have that longevity since they are no longer made here. I would have considered them if they had exactly what I was looking for.

    On a side note (I can derail this because it is my thread), I am always interested in local language. I find it especially interesting why we call things what we do. When I was growing up, every blender was called an Osterizer no matter the brand, and every garbage disposal was an Insinkerator. (Oster manufacturing and Insinkerator both were Racine, WI companies. InSinkErator still is). We also call drinking fountains "bubblers" because of the Kohler Company (another Wisconsin company) selling thousands of their "Kohler Sanitary Bubbling Drinking Fountain" throughout the state, especially for public parks.

    Y'know...I've always wondered why the heck they're called bubblers in this state. That makes a lot of sense!

    I have nothing of relevance to contribute here so I will see myself out.
