My wife has a Vita-Mix. The model is the super 5200 and she's had good luck with it. She makes a lot of smoothies with it and all sorts of other things. I doubt you could burn that thing out if you follow instructions. It has to be started on slow speed and then cranked up, and you can't chop dry things like nuts etc, for more then 2 minutes. They are rather pricey but they do stand up.
