Wantjoin Professional Grade Blender

Have only tried this once, so can't comment on durability etc. However, it does exactly what I was looking for. My last two blenders have been Ninjas. The first one was good but stopped working after a couple of years. The second one had a hard time really blending everything, requiring multiple lid removals and stirs to get all ingredients (eg: apple chunks) to fully blend, and even then, the overall smoothie texture still had tiny bits in it. Those long tower-like Ninja blades are also unwieldy and a bit of a pain in the ass to deal with. Also, it was noisy, needing me to shut windows when using, with downstairs neighbors in mind as it's always used for a morning smoothie.This WantJoin blender looks great. Simple 'vintage' design, with just a power dial, on/off and pulse switch, no extraneous digital displays and other unnecessary features. It's also very well built, feels hefty and solid with everything locking into place nicely. The noise enclosure works really well (the main thing I was interested in). No need to shut windows even. It blended a perfect smoothie in under 10 seconds at half-mast power (12 o'clock position). The only thing so far that could make this 'perfect' is that the edge of the container doesn't have a pouring spout, so you can't get a perfect pour, but, this is a minor gripe. The brand name may put people off as it really doesn't mean anything (lol) and the directions are clearly translated literally from Chinese with no attempt to make it intelligible to an English speaking audience! But if you can set that aside, this blender is really great value for money. Spending $1000+ on a Vitamix or similar just seems craaaayzy. Highly recommend.
