Just doing a search on Froogle for a 10 speed blender... (I know that Sunbeam makes one) Sunbeam's price is about 25 dollars (From Macy's not a cheap store, but not high end etiher) Other blenders in that price point were the no-name brands... Black and Decker, Farberware, Hamilton Beach, Oster are all 5 - 10 dollars more. Sunbeam seems to have the brand name recognition for a lower price.

I have a Sunbeam blender in my kitchen that's about 1o - 15 years old -- It's an old fashioned blender - it doesnt grate ice or anything like that, but it's good forbasic blending. I also have an Oster that I paid 3x as much, that unless it's seated just right on the base, it leaks, every time... it's got way more functionality that I need for blending.

Sunbeam makes a basic product, at a basic price --it's kinda no frills stuff -- but with all the cooking shows on -- people seem to want frills.
