Really wonderful machine and worked a few times very well. The motor started overheating, producing a burning odor, and turning off within the first 5 times we used the blender. It's unusable on anything a little thicker than water. We sent it back to the warranty shop, but haven't gotten it back as yet.

Hi! It is important to know that sometimes the machine may emit a burning odor and/or stop temporarily because its thermal protector sensed that the machine was about to overheat. If this occurs, we recommend turning the power switch off for up to 45 minutes, allowing the machine to cool down or reset. To avoid overheating your machine in the future, be sure to ramp the machine up to the highest speed within five seconds of turning it on to activate the cooling fan in the motor.
I bought the vitamin after my last blender broke. What a difference in the smoothness and texture of my smoothies. There are no lumps or problems with getting all the ingredients mixed together.
I have broken 2 nutribullets so I knew it was time to scale up to something that can handle my smoothie addiction. I am happy to report that this is worth every penny. My smoothies are smoother than ever, the clean up is easy and there are no signs of this baby breaking any time soon.
Pros: Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Power
I use my Vitamix every day for smoothies, salad dressings, and soups. This blender is so powerful. Absolutely wonderful. It chops everything perfectly and makes it silky smooth.

very good, very silent, the only think is that smells a little burn when you use even for short periods in medium-high capacity. but I believe that this is normal in the beginning. I hope with time the machine motor will adapt and get stronger.
