| I'm on day 2 in the zone! So far, I'm loving it. We are really enjoying the convenience and taste of smoothies, but can anyone tell me if there is a brand of blender out there that doesn't rip your eardrums out? I am as conscious of noise pollution as other pollutions, and, as much as I love the smoothies, I dread using this ear-numbing machinery. How about it...any suggestions? Thanks. :shock:

Hello,
A hand blender works well for smoothies, and you can purchase them in the appliance department of most department stores. Kitchen etc has several brands and you can order on-line at [url]http://www.kitchenetc.com/google_2/google_search.cfm?qs=hand%20blender[/url]

Hello,
You’re welcome. I've never owned one myself, but I know many people that do. I did some poking around the Kitchen etc Web site myself, and found one that I want to purchase. I’m an appliance freak! With most women, I think that it is clothes or jewelry, but for me it is gadgets/appliances. I copied & pasted the specs below.

| Hi,
I have one by Braun that was fairly inexpensive (under $20), yet very sturdy. The portion of the handle with the motor inside screws off enabling easy cleaning. You can simply run it under water to clean.

| I have NEVER heard of a woman worrying about a man vacuuming!! Or other housework. On our fridge there is even a magnetic sticky that says "No man was ever shot by a woman while doing dishes". :P I guess you could say doing dishes is a "safety feature" of the kitchen???? |

Maybe, maybe not, because I got it at a Sam's Club about 5 yrs ago. It's most likely outdated. But immersion hand blenders can be easily found everywhere. I'm sure there are many comparable ones out there. |

[color=darkred:837edf6e0b]Typo...meant to type "immersion" blender, which is another name for a hand held blender. I will correct my other post.[/color:837edf6e0b] |
