It has its limitations, and you should be aware of them before using it for anything. Also, invest in the blade scraper and the dry foods container will run you a pretty penny, but it’s needed. Overall, recommend getting the shorter container so your base is wider, but that just means more $$$. Don’t know if I’ve found it worth the expense yet, but it’s far more powerful than my last blender which was practically worthless.
Pros: Easy to use, Power

Greatest kitchen appliance I have ever purchased

I bought my Vitamix right when they upgraded from the stainless steel model with the soft serve dispenser coming out of the side. It had to have been 20+ years ago. We use it at least EVERY day. It is finally showing it's age. I am excited to buy my new Vitamix.
Pros: Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Versatility, Product features, Power
Overpriced and Overhyped: My Disappointing Experie

Verified Purchase:Yes
around Vitamix. For the price they charge, I expected something exceptional. What I got was a loud, bulky machine that does the same job as blenders costing a fraction of the price. Yes, it blends — but so do many others without sounding like a jet engine in the kitchen.
Cleaning it is a pain, the size is impractical for regular countertops, and the so-called “durability” feels overstated for something this expensive. The presets are minimal, and for a product marketed as premium, the user experience feels dated.
The worst part? The value just isn’t there. You’re paying mostly for the brand name, not a noticeably better result. Unless you’re blending rocks every day, this is overkill and not worth the money.

Hi there. The machine you purchased is one of our classic models that we have been making for a very long time and is still a favorite among our customers. We do have new modern options that might be more to your liking. If you are within 60 days of purchase, we are happy to set up a return for refund so you can get one more your style.
Also the best (and easiest) method to clean your container is to add some warm water to the container, a drop of dish soap and run on high for about 1 minute. Rinse and let dry!
I didn't expect the pitcher to be plastic, hope it holds up. I use for smoothies right now. Not sure if it was worth the extra money. We'll see how the motor is doing in a couple of years.
The title says it all. Performance-wise it's a five star blender, but with the price factoring it's four stars overall in my opinion. The seven year warranty is nice, but, again for this price it oughta be double that.
Pros: Easy to clean, Durability, Quality, Easy to use, Power
