I saw two Vita-mix blenders in the Chaeng Wattana branch of Versau today. One was 35,000 baht and I didn't look at the price of the other one as I was in danger of having a stroke or something, how much for a blender?

By chance I found the Isaan wholesale distributor for Kyusen/Thailand Home Worth appliances. Bought the following... will advise:

My commerical blender from Makro is doing find. I did burn out the engine one time already and took it back and they fixed it so now I am more careful.

IN the meantime I used a regular Buono and it was hopeless.

Sure I am still dreaming of a VITAMIX and have contacted a few suppliers but they are all over 30k. Hard to pay so much more just for 220v
