It got excellent on all but 2 things: convenience (ease of cleaning/changing blades) and noise. But it's $400. The CR Best Buy was the Braun PowerMax MX2050 -- got a rating of 72 (very good instead of excellent pretty much across the board) but it only costs $50. AND it has a glass jar instead of a plastic jar like the Vita-mix. AND AND, it has a removable blade (easier to clean) which the Vita-mix does not. You could burn up a LOT of Braun's for the cost of one Vita-mix.
