I got the white Dash.  The only thing I don't like about it is that it is too high to fit under the cabinet.  I used a 20% coupon and when they had free shipping.

I have a Vitamix as well and love it. I use it every day. It’s great. But if you’re looking for something quiet, I don’t think you’ll be happy with the Vitamix. It is loud. I don’t think there is a powerful blender that is not loud.

@MKR14 I have both a Vitamix and the Wolfgang Puck blender. The WP one is wonderful and I see no noticeable difference between that one and the Vitamix. I "drank the Kool Aid" and bought a Vitamix, thinking it would be vastly superior, and to me, it really isn't. The WP one, I think, will most likely meet your needs. Good luck! And have fun.

@henderson I measured my counter and it is 19" and the Dash blender wouldn't fit under my cupboards. Thanks as I thought it would fit there easily. Something to consider as if I want to put it near my air fryer it wouldn't fit where I want it.

FYI, my counter to cabinet space is around 15".  The Blendtec comes with two containers and I keep the smaller one - which is more than ample - on the blender and store the big one in a top cabinet.

@MKR14  I am glad you are doing well; I guess it's been about a year since you were in the hospital the last time?

I have the one of the Vitamix Creations with the 32 oz container which fits under my counters.  But it's pretty loud but I really don't hear it anymore.  A daily smoothy will do you good.  It sure breaks down ice in a hurry as do the others I have seen demonstrated.  Mine is white, but they had quite a few more colors.

They came out with a new line, it's Vitamix Ascent series which has a bunch of different size containers, but I haven't heard any feed back.

Actually I was looking for a pressure cooker and you suggested the Cuisinart so I went ahead and ordered one from Macy's.  Unfortunately, they don't know how to pack things so it arrived in an oversized box without any padding.  Was in pieces.  They sent me another one, which arrived with other issues.  So I decided to order the Instant Pot from Amazon today and hope it's all they say it is.

@MKR14  On Sunday, February 18, QVC has a Vitamix TSV.  Don't know which model, but they usually have lots of colors.  Just in case you want to check this out first.

@CLEM Thanks I will check out the Vitamix when it comes up

as they may have a cheaper one as the TSV. Thanks for the heads up.

Now that we don’t get the Insider I don’t know what is coming up. The Dash blender is too tall for me so I am still checking a few others out but will wait for the Vitamix before I make my decision. Luckily I still have my Ninja in the meantime.

Have a good week everyone.

@MKR14  You can always find out what's on the Q by checking their program guide on line and I usually check where it says weekly view and the top line on each day which gives you the TSV.
