I've had my 8006 for about 2 years and I am still in love with it. It has powered through everything I've asked it to do with never a stutter or problem. I use it virtually every day and after 2 years works the same as it did on the day I got it. I show it to everyone who comes into my kitchen and tell them what a great product it is and what healthful concoctions I make with it. Buy one. Worth every penny.
