The old ones have exactly the same motor and are exactly as powerful. The motor bearings and brushes and the speed control knob and especially the bearing on the container all wear out over time.

The newer ones have a slow-start control that is nice so food doesn't splatter everywhere. If you bring them up to speed too fast they make a mess.

$170: no way. Maybe $50.
