  • We can (and should) just stop buying Sony items however as they are not doing so great on that front already.

    Waaay ahead of ya there, buddy. I’ve been deliberately boycotting Sony since at least the rootkit in 2005, and I think the newest Sony product I actually bought was a Walkman cassette player.

    Trouble is, Sony somehow still went right on existing as a huge multinational corporation for the last 20 years anyway. It’s almost as if boycotts aren’t enough and we actually need consumer protection law. 🤔

    Vitamix makes a higher end version of their blender that provides a sound deadening enclosure for the whole thing, complete with thick rubber gaskets. It’s pretty effective and costs about 2000.

    Even with a brushless motor, a standard Vitamix (e.g. a 5200) is definitely not quiet! It doesn’t help that the ice (or other hard ingredient) hitting the side of the container is loud in and of itself.

    It’s a shame the enclosure apparently adds over $1500 to the cost.
