I purchased this blender as several friends own Vitamix units and are pleased with them. Our unit has performed great and we are looking forward to using it for various recipes.
The jug doesn’t lock to the machine and while running, I accidentally tipped the jug a little for just a few seconds. That made both gears to have sharp scuff marks now.
Pros: Texture Quality, Easy to use, Versatility, Power
My husband gave me one several years ago for Christmas, and I recently bought this one as an early Christmas gift for my daughter. She’s used it several times for smoothies and to blend soups, etc. I use mine almost every day. For me, it’s the kind of item that I might not have bought for myself the first time, but now I’ll never go without one in the future. It makes meal prep so much easier and faster. I found that having a Vitamix opened up new recipes to me.
Pros: Speed of Service, Durability, Easy to use, Recipe Enhancement, Power
