This.
People who buy these fancy blenders never even continue to use them to make healthy juices as it's a shit load of work and mess to clean after.
Uhhhhh, you have no idea what you're talking about. It is not a shit load of work, it's barely any work at all. It is not a shit load of mess.
I throw whatever I want in my blendtec. Whole strawberries, rasberries, kale, protein, peanut butter, carrots, ice, spinach, bananas, some liquid, etc. Press the button, walk away, come back a minute later and I have a perfectly smooth shake. No mess, no time. I drink the shake, and then rinse the blender.
I've used the oster, Hamilton beach, Cuisinart, etc. They all sucked in comparison. Hope this helps.
