I bought my Vitamix earlier this year to make real food blends for my son, who recently got a feeding tube. This blender was recommended to me by many moms on a Facebook page dedicated to people with feeding tubes and it has been amazing! I am able to blend just about anything smoothly enough to push it through a feeding tube. For example, I have blended raw carrots, cooked meat and raw fruit and all of it purées into a super smooth consistency. I have also started making fruit and veggie smoothies for myself using the recipe that came with the blender. I am extremely pleased and satisfied with this purchase and I highly recommend it.
I got my vitamix blender about 2 months ago and it has made my life much easier! My daughter receives a blended tube feeding and this has made it much quicker and easier to prepare her meals!

Really, really happy with this. I have wanted a Vitamix for years. I suffered through other makers (my dear ones bought me Magic Bullet, Ninja, etc), but they were substandard compared to the Vitamix and ultimately a waste of money.

I had been wanting a Vitamix for well over 2 years. I was hesitant to make the investment because of the high price tag, but I have ZERO regrets! It is well worth the price and it will last forever! I told myself I would invest in a Vitamix if I consistently made breakfast smoothies, and WOW! I was previously using a Kitchen Aid food processor and there would always be big chunks of frozen fruit left and pieces of spinach that wouldn't get fully blended. This machine is like no other! In less than 30 seconds I have a smooth whipped-like consistency smoothie. I have also used it to make sauces etc. I am in LOVE!
