How much is a Magimix? An entry-level Vitamix is “only” $300, but when I compare that to the amount I spent on my Ninja and various other sub-$100 blenders that I’ve burnt through or broken down in the amount of time I’ve owned my base-model vitamix, $300 is a fucking bargain.

Ah, it might be a regional thing. In the UK, the cheapest Vitamix is almost £400 where the Magimix was about £200 at the time. They might be pretty comparable but the prices don't quite work out the same here.

Totally agree though, I was getting through a £50-75 blender each year for really silly breakages with no spares available.
