it's so funny, i freaking HATE the tamper... i had to create / velcro a freaking jar on the side so my dad won't lose or misplace the tamper.

with blendtec its all good as long as you're making something liquidy. if you're trying to make hummus or a smoothie that has a lot of frozen stuff in it, its kinda hard to get it to blend without going too liquidy unless you have a tamper. who wants watery hummus... nobody.

My V10 Dyson is crapping out and pretty much sucks up nothing, it's a waste of time to go over an area 3-4x. I've used the newer generation and it seemed sick, but not sure if there's better value.

If you ask these jerkface Revscene people, apparently Shark is awesome. (I'm not butthurt.) :troll: :okay:

If you got it from Costco. Return it and grab the v15. It sucks !!

We had the V15 detect from last last Christmas when Dyson was doing the combo sale with Rakuten. We liked it but the canister broke earlier this year and Dyson replaced the whole thing. The whole ordeal took like 2 months, partly on the stupidity of Purolator.

Dyson upgraded us to the new gen5 as a replacement at no cost. There's no trigger anymore as it's an on/off button on the back of the unit. There's pros and cons to it, but I do find that it's gotten a bit too heavy as a mobile unit. The sucking power is great though, I thought the V15 was strong, the gen5 is even stronger.

You suck sooooo good nao

Your answer can be found here. His tests are quite good and easy to watch.

the motor seems built like a tank and im sure it will keep going for years to come.
i do sorta like the vitamix design with the tamper lid, but i like that the blendtecs blades are blunt and you cant cut yourself cleaning it.
sounds like a fucking rocket though... i've contemplated buying an enclosure for it...

Same experience with our old vitamix. It was $500 I think way back then? Probably 15 years old. Loud AF. But it's also a tank. Blades are blunt too, just like yours. Love how it makes smoothies and blends ice into that perfect consistency. Oyster, black and decker, etc, could never blend ice like this mofo does.

There's no way they make profit on the food stand. It's all sold at a loss, so in effect this probably saves them money.

spoon.ek9 06-05-2025 04:23 PM

My last Costco run, I shared a table with a friendly old white guy. I briefly mentioned the hotdog is sold at a loss and he immediately told me "No! They make money off of this!". I didn't want to argue with the guy so I just let it go lol.

I have a challenge for everyone in this thread next time you go to costco:

1. Price out enough westernized Chinese food to feed a family of 8 for a feast
2. Sweet and sour something is a must
3. Beef black bean broccoli of course
4. Chicken chow mein pho sho
5. Egg/spring rolls no doubt
6. Needs a vegetarian dish
7. Needs rice and won ton
8. Comes with a dessert

Price it out. If you were taking a family camping and wanted to blow everyone's minds with the first night of the most amazing Chinese food dinner from Costco, post the list here with the prices. GO!!!!!

Badhobz 06-05-2025 09:08 PM

Are you trying to do a trailer park Ching Chong themed potluck ?!! Dats racist !!!

Not Chinese since Costco Chinese food sucks total dicks. But you can do a pretty decent Korean bbq setup

1) marinaded beef bulogi is like 30 bucks. Enough to make probably 4 meals. For sure enough for 8
2) the big can of kimchi for 8 dollars. Goes well with the beef above.
3) cook rice and prosper.

bcrdukes 06-05-2025 09:33 PM

Jason, why are you asking Revscene when you can ask AI? :troll:

I just made this for myself this morning. I hate regular breakfast so i make basically a lunch or dinner and eat that for breakfast.

At Costco each one of those items is going to be $15-$25. There’s no savings to be had on stuff like noodles or veggies

Brutal punishment. Judge says no US Costco trips for this tax evader. How's a man supposed to take care of his family?

Canada finally gets tough on crime! This Carney govt is coming down hard on criminals now.

What would Badhobz say? :lol

Interesting that $25/month is the minimum payment towards the fine. This guy owes $2.1M in fines alone! :confused:
