Blenders are becoming popular and I have no idea why. Please do not misunderstand, I like blenders, I even use them from time to time, I just do not understand the fascination with overpriced and overpowered models. Realistically, you are only going to be blending things that you could normally get through with your teeth, right? How much power do you need?

Wolfgang Puck answers that question with 1000W. They are not messing around here, there are six blades that spin clockwise and four stirring blades that spin counter clockwise. There should be no more unblended well of food in the middle of your blender. What more needs to be said? It has a 50-oz capacity, die-cast aluminum housing and a locking lid for safety. The price is not that bad either, when you consider the cost of a good CuisineArt model.
