Using a Ninja and thinking it’s a good blender. I’m so sorry you missed out on the Vitamix experience.
(｡•́︿•̀｡)

The quality of your blending experience can determine how frequently you are motivated to blend things. I’m currently living at a place where the only blender is a Ninja, and I never want to blend anything, because I just don’t want to deal with that hassle. When I had my Vitamix - the lowest-end $250 refurbished model - I did make smoothies at least twice a week.

That’s not to speak of the fact that some things, like making nut butters, are simply infeasible on a lower quality blender.
