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?

    Sorry, I phrased that poorly by not being clear that I mean ‘blend things like a blender does [post topic], which includes cutting the ingredients into extremely small pieces while mixing them evenly’.

    So do you make a fruit smoothie with a knife, spoon, and a whisk?

      I don’t make fruit smoothies.

      We actually have a blender in the kitchen - my wife and kids make fruit smoothies. Since we have it I use it for some soups - but this is only about 2x/year and I would eat chunky soups and do without a blender. This is the point I’m trying to make: you can do without things and live a satisfying life - so is it worth it to have the thing?
