Finally got a sturdy blender. I'm so happy that Wayfair is around to make these products available for us. I never would have thought of searching Wayfair and I'm so surprised and amazed of all the things you can find here. Anyway, I had a Cuisinart blender that my now husband's former roommates used and broke. Now that we're on our own, I can take care of my things more closely. And it seems that the Ninja brand is stronger and made of more heavyweight material.
