I saw him advertising that and I would check the warranty. Sometimes the motors are made of cheap materials, and burn up quickly. Check out quality. Look on epinions for reviews
I've used Vitamix blenders forever. My first one was more than 20 years ago. I bought it to make my own baby food.
I bought my last one 7 or 8 years ago and use it almost everyday. I think their guarantee is 7 years. I love the thing. If you watch Iron Chef and cooking shows in general, you'll see them abuse these machines on a constant basis. I noticed they are used in a lot of restaurants and bars too.
They aren't cheap and sometimes a good deal can be found on ebay. Even used, the things are horses.
Demo on their site. I just checked out the demo. Look at top of page. They do a bunch of them. Anyway, here's the funny part. On the demo page they have Montel endorsing it from a year ago. Maybe he decided to get his own line. I would thoroughly checkout the differences before purchasing.
I checked out his site and he is selling several appliances. His blender is 1/2 the price of Vitamix. He definitely borrowed from their type of demo.
