Wonderful and powerful machine that grinds grains, makes the smoothest smoothies, is easy to clean, and is simple to use! So glad I decided to make the switch from Nutri-Bullet. No comparison. The other machine wore out quickly and one time part of its gasket was in my shake! This Vitamix is the real thing, no doubt about it, with a warranty too. Was considering shorter one to go under cabinet, but glad I got this one because of the quantity it holds. I just take the container off and sit it beside the base. Totally worth it.
I bought Vitamix as a Christmas gift for my spouse who has been making a lot of shakes. Needless to say, this machine is getting multiple uses in a day.
The machine is very sturdy. SInce it is a variable speed machine, once can finely control their blending speed. It is rather tall and does not fit under normal kitchen cabinets - something to know. But the length of container also gives it space to blend the liquids. It is very quiet compared to our previous blender and at lower speeds, it is mostly a deep throaty sound. On very high speeds, it can be heard around but still quieter than any other blender I have owned. Easy to clean. The quality is very good. And above all, the blending results are none to other.
Happy with the purchase. Will highly recommend it to anyone who uses blenders frequently.
Pros: Speed of Service, Texture Quality, Durability, Power
