Torpedo Blender

[GoingtoRAW]

Has anyone seen the infomercial for the Torpedo Blender? It supposedly does everything that a Vitamix does - plus it juices. I am saving for a Vitamix but I have a long way to go. Thing is the blender I had went out on me and I have been using a Magic Bullet to make my smoothies. The cups are really small so I have to make two smoothies to get one the size I like. Time consuming:(!!! Anyway I was thinking about trying this thing (the Torpedo Blender), because it's driving me crazy making smoothies with the Magic Bullet and I was going to spend the money anyway getting another blender until I can save for the Vitamix. I figure once I get the Vitamix I can just take the blender to use at work. So has anyone tried it???

(http://www.locatetv.com/tv/torpedo-blender/6651724)Sounds impressive. And, how much does this little beauty cost?




The Torpedo blender featuring smart electronic technology and a unique beverage dispenser is nine machines in one! Juicer, grinder, chopper, high end coffee maker, margarita maker, and so much more.

I think it's $99.00. They let you try it out for 30 days for $14.95 with free shipping. I don't know...I'm just really tired of making my smoothies in a Magic Bullet - it's driving me nuts. Also, I'm just getting back to work so it's going to take me a while to save for the Vitamix.

Are you serious?, sounds like a cheap, made-in-China plastic piece of garbage. The motor that's likely in it is just what you'll find in a $30 blender:(

Wait till it breaks on the 31st day.:eek:

Just keep saving for the Vitamix, yes I know it's difficult, but always go for quality. You may also consider selling the TV (yeah I know that's radical, but better you cut these infomercials:rolleyes: out of your mental diet), to help you save faster. My humble three cents here.

Check Craigslist, eBay, local thrift shops, etc. I just sold my VM for $250. People who don't love theirs or know the value will be selling them for quite a bit less... maybe even $100.

So what do you use now?

That made me laugh. For what I could sell my little 12 year old TV for probably wouldn't buy me a cheap blender!!

I have to keep saving. It will take forever. But oh well.

I'll check those sites out. I want a Vitamix and I want it now!!
