I'm considering upgrading my decade-old food processor to a nice blender. I'm in research mode and have been looking at the Vitamix as well as its competitors. I've read that the vitamixes have an issue with leaving black Teflon particles in your food? That freaks me out considering the high price point.
Do you have a nice blender? What brand do you use? What do you use it for? What complaints do you have about it? What do you love about it?
