Alieexpress is a stupid sounding name, also has a reputation of low quality goods.
That's because it has been established longer selling the same standard of products as Temu or Shein.
But what is ridiculous is the number of keyboard warriors who cling to the adage that "you get what you pay for" as the only truism that applies to your purchase. They are oblivious to the other adage, "you don't get what you pay for", which tends to apply more often to MIC or some other Third World countries.
When you have so many manufacturers of the same products, the survival instinct forces some to cut corners like using not only lower quality plastic but thinner ones as well, then they will get one-star reviews.
Anyway, I found my dream blender, from
. 2400 watts
Making peanut butter is the ultimate test of a blender and it makes a smooth one quite easily. It uses foreign bearings. The seller said local brands are not as durable by 30-40%. I blend 800 grams at a time, equivalent to 5.5 cups. What you see on Youtube with Vitamix is only 2-3 cups. Before I got this blender, I had been using a non-China brand. It has half the capacity of this and 500 watts. I had to make to a hole in the cover for a tamper to access. It is still a poor matchup with my latest big one.
