Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We are all familiar with the visual of the crotchety, old man shouting at cars driving 3 mph over the speed limit in his neighborhood. When we see him we may think to ourselves, "Geeze guy, settle down, you're going to pull something..." before it dawns on us that before long, WE will be that crotchety old man or woman. For me anyway, there is this realization that given how jaded I already am at 35 about all of life's little annoyances that full-on crochetyness is an inevitability...and that it isn't all that far off. What makes me particularly salty are all the CRAP products out there that CRAP OUT on you before they should. When did it become a bleeping foregone conclusion that 80% of consumer products will turn to worthless CRAP in mere months? $200 for this? CRAP in a heartbeat. $120 for that? Yep, turned to CRAP in lightning speed. Sure, the more you spend the lesser the probability the product will be CRAP but there is no hard and fast rule where "you spend X and you're guaranteed to avoid CRAP." It's a poor commentary on the whole human race in my opinion...but I digress. Every so often however, in the midst of thousands upon thousands of CRAP products here and CRAP products there, you come across a gem. THIS BLENDER, LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, IS THAT GEM. I think I paid $29 for this thing when I bought it a few months ago. I figured meh...I can either spend $29 and get a CRAP blender or $100 and get CRAP blender like I've historically done in the past...so I decided to go the cheap CRAP option. You can imagine my surprise and utter delight when this beast turned out to NOT be CRAP...but a ray of light and hope in a dark, dark CRAP consumer-product world. I use this blender virtually every night and I'm not easy on it. I jam a lot of frozen fruit down it's gullet before slamming the puree button without remorse and it gobbles the frozen fruit like Joey Chestnut gobbles hotdogs on the Fourth of July. It's incredible. I love this blender. I LOVE IT. And to have paid $29 bucks for this thing?! You kiddin me?! Unreal! Despite relying upon reviews, I seldom write them because I'm a busy guy...and that is something I feel badly about. But this freaking blender... I couldn't NOT write a review. So I hope it helps you make the decision to buy this thing...and I hope when you buy it and start loving it like I do...that it helps you to become just a little less jaded too. March 2022 Update - Oh yes, she's still goin' strong! So if you came here looking for CRAP, best keep a walkin'!
