After spending 200$ for a supposedly premium Philips blender which broke in less than one year after having been sent to assistance, having parts replaced and broken again, been repaired by me and after I spent thousands of swear and curses, I am really this ’ ’ close to smashing it with an hammer and crucifying it to scare the other Philips products away from my kitchen.
Since those were 200$ wasted, and my parents and grandparents kitchen stuff worked sometimes for 30 years before breaking, where can I get my grandparents gear? Should I just resort to smashing vegetables and fruits by hand with stones?
What professionals use is generally the answer for any tool and repeated use item. If professionals use it then is generally reliable because otherwise it wouldn’t be cost effective to purchase and use. Kitchen equipment, painting, and power tools failing loses money on top of the cost to replace, so reliability is very important.
Frequently the commercial stuff is less complex because they aren’t adding stuff to draw in the general public and not even a lot more expensive either since using more robust components only slightly increases the costs to manufacture.
From what I’m aware professional kitchens use Vitamix products for the most part.
That’s what I’ve seen at Starbucks, Jamba Juice, etc.
Unfortunately their blenders are probably the most expensive you’ll find anywhere.
Take a look in the kitchen in places that don’t need to show off their equipment. The places you name want to show off the shiny expensive equipment and so cheap quality is a negative for them.
Plus it’s gonna look cool as shit on your counter, most likely, compared to whatever EZ Bake+ plastic shit Target is peddling.
