VIKING VBLG01 Professional Blender – White Review

… and I have had several blenders. I was specifically looking for a blender for protein shakes and smoothies. I went to the Viking Store in Atlanta and did a side-by-side test with other blenders, incuding the Waring bar blender. The Viking’s blades are noticably larger, and when we fired them up it was no contest. I have now owned this for about 4 months and never has it failed me (or left even a small ice chunk).
Update 2007 – The blade assembly is the weak part. I am on my third blade. The plastic gets brittle over time. I was told at the Viking store and by the repair rep via phone that this is the common problem. A great blender when it works.

VIKING VBLG01SG Professional Blender Countertop Appliance – Stainless Gray Review
I was raised around good food and high quality tools to prepare that food. I know that if you want high quality, you must pay for it. That said, I still feel the price of this device just a bit excessive and that is why I gave it four stars.
I love my blender. I have had more blenders than I care to remember. The only difference price made was that it was an indicator of how long the blender will last. The more expensive models tend to last longer, but still don’t last. The cheap ones might be replaced as much as two times a year. They are that bad.
When it arrived, I tested it by making my version of a frappucino that includes ice cream and lots of ice. In about thirty seconds …
