That dishwasher looks very similar to ours. Kitchenaid? Works really well in our experience.

We've had a similar KA dual oven stove for about a year and we love it. Very useful! And I like the fact that the smaller upper oven heats up very quickly.

Looks good. We just got some LG appliances and they're great. I can't stand the maytag appliances we have, every part has broken.

You need a Vitamix. Smoothies and margaritas and daquiris and...
I work for another appliance OEM which doesn't competing in this space.

The Waring MX1X00 XTX commercial series has a more powerful 13A motor than all but the top of the line Vitamix commercial blenders. It comes with one of the few (only?) commercial NSF approved BPA-Free Tritan containers. If you hate plastic and don't mind the expense, they make stainless steel containers too - you can't get that from Vitamix or Blendtec. Its stock pad is compatible with the consumer and low-end commercial Vitamix containers. An easy Dremel pad mod let you use their top of the line commerical Vitamix Advanced Containers and you can still use the stock Waring or cheaper Vitamix containers.




Blendtec's Wildside container is not marketing hype, Vitamix copied this superior container design with the older commercial Vitamix XP design which is no longer sold due to the patent violation. The Vitamix Advanced Container is the result of the patent lawsuit. These new containers require no plunger and blend ingredients faster with less oxidation/aeration (some people actually don't like high-speed blenders for this reason). This video demonstrates the difference these newer containers make with a real time test mid-way:


The other huge difference on Waring is you can buy a factory sound enclosure for any of their models for $150, only the high-end commercial models ($1K or higher) from Vitamix or Blendtec have this feature. All of these blenders are very noisy.

If you are just making smoothies, the MX1000XTX is enough. If you are doing a variety of things or want more control the MX1200XTX is the best blender for the money. Here are a couple of commercial resellers:

Waring 3.5 Hp MX Blenders MX1000XTX, MX1050XTX, MX1100XTX, MX1200XTX and More

Waring MX1200XTX 64 oz. Xtreme High-Power Blender with Adjustable Speed

If any more proof was needed that the lounge has turned into white, middle-aged, middle-class snorefest then I give you this thread.
