My Comments
This is the most powerful blender you can get, now at the lowest price ever in the convertible, combo package!
This is the ONLY blender at this price with juice-bar style pre-programmed cycles, and is the most powerful blender under $400.00!
Tamper included because the blade design and motor aren't powerful enough to pull the ingredients into the blades.
WARNING: Various versions sold by Montel Williams & Jack LaLanne are cheap Vitamix knock offs. Many complaints, terrible warranty, very bad customer seervice.

The least expensive in this table offers a nice entry-level price, but at the cost of power and a smaller carafe size.
