originally this company made an incredible mixer (the one that was made in Germany) and the best thing about it was the citrus juicer – it was the BEST I have ever seen and I’ve bought 12 different citrus juicers trying to find one as good (paid $350 for one – took it back: worthless). If you want to come up with a great new product, make a decent citrus juicer! Thanks
ps love my Blendtec
