Ya, I've watched some of those commercials on utube - brilliant marketing!!
The vitamix is about the same as the blendtec - half of the commercial places use one and the other half use the other eg, Booster Juice is blendtec and Orange Julius is vitamix. In the end I chose this one over the blendtec because the reviews made it sound like the build quality and customer service were a little better.
I just got the 2hp model. They make a 3hp model like the blendtec but I read that you should wear ear protection if you don't have one of those soundproof covers!!! As it was, I was worried about noise but fortunately, it isn't any louder than the 450w Osterizer it replaced.
