noise factor: Ktec Total Blender vs Vita-mix 5000

[Guest guest]

If you are lookin' for something less noisy,

a food processor or Champion/Green Life juicer

are the best tools of the trade...

you win some; you lose some; go with what works for

you. Sometimes I like to make noise and other times i

prefer to hear the birds instead of me.
