Re: [CnD] Ninja versus Vitamix
Hello, All!! I just got off the phone with Amazon's Disability Help. Vitamix cost an awful lot--well, being on a fixed income and all, I don't want to go crazy with the money, so I ordered a Ninja blender that is in stock. The lady discribed it and it sounds pretty user-friendly. I also order a new stand mixer, much cheaper than Kitchenaid, again, at a comfortable price I can actually live with. So, I have 2 new things to look forward to. From G E, I am getting a microwave; it cost $140 and I don't mind that it does not talk. I just need one I can live with. Thanks for your information on the Vitamix and other blender. I think I will like the Ninja. I have a blind friend in Arizona who lives hers.

Re: [CnD] Ninja versus Vitamix
I think they are equally blind friendly. We have an old vita mix it doesn’t have all the programming features as the newer models. We also have the Ninja Hot and cold Blender. We marked the functions with high dots. I like them equally. My husband prefers the Ninja.

Re: [CnD] exciting microwave discovery
Hi Pamela, Thanks for this. I'm moving in to a new place and have to redo the kitchen from scratch, so this couldn't have come at a better time. So you're saying I don't need the serial number to find this unit? I'd really love to find this one and bookmark it for future reference.

Re: [CnD] Ninja versus Vitamix
I still use my immersion blender. But, I love love love my Vitamix! My unit is about 4 years old. The buttons and dial-for speed control are totally accessible. I have 2 different containers. The blades are different inside as well as the size of the actual container. My blender came with a recipe book which was nice. I've made some soups, cashew butter-to add to my tomato soup which I make on the stovetop and lots and lots of other things. The base of the unit is rather heavy but, I've never had it hesitate when making anything. My granddaughter when she was about 2 would run out of the kitchen when I turned it on and hide in the living room because according to her it was too much for her to hear. When she realized that her favorite Banana Strawberry yogurt smoothie came out of it she was ok with the sound.

Re: [CnD] air fryers
Hi I saw a name of an air fryer on a face book group but I do not remember where. It was called trimar. When I had someone look it up they did not find this air fryer. Has anyone heard of this one?
