We love our blender! This is our first Vitamix. We are avid cooks, and this blender has truly enhanced our cooking experience. The recipe book it came with was also very helpful in learning how to use it. Can’t wait to try more recipes!

I bought my Vitamix somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 years ago. I use it for smoothies almost every morning. Peach smoothies are a favorite, but I also like pinapple orange, pineapple mango orange, and strawberry or strawberry razzberry blueberry. I also use it to make really good crab chowder. I cook the crab chowder ingredients on the stove, then transfer it to the Vitamix to make it a smooth soup. I then add chuck crab meat and cilantro garnish.
About 15 years ago I spent copious hours researching which high powered blender I was going to purchase. It was a really big deal back then. I went with the K-Tec. I really liked that blender, but always had the feeling I chose the wrong one. This has now been corroborated. I love my Vitamix. I used it almost everyday. If I could turn back time...
My only negative is that it runs really rough a lot of times on high, so that you have to hold it down by the lid. In an ideal world it would run smoothly on any speed and you could walk away from it.

Best blender! We were tired of the noisy and sticky blenders we had in the past. This blender is not noisy, compared to the other brands. Life changer! I no longer have to cover my ears or run to the other room every time my boyfriend blends something. I bet the quiet blenders from vitamix are even quieter and I can’t believe it!

This was a gift for my dear friend's daughter who is away at university and loves smoothies (so I also got the smoothie attachment). My friend shared that when she told her daughter of this gift, she was ecstatic and in disbelief!!!! I'm thinking she will love this blender as much as I love mine!
Knob is looser in these newer models. It short circuited on the first month of purchase… not sure. It’s ok so far but I LOVED my old botanic. Unfortunately it burnt down with my entire home. Shame, they don’t make them like they used to.

So much more versatile than a regular blender! Love the manual dials - less electronic issues to worry about. Wish it had a glass container but plastic container is BPA free. Note: need dry blade for pulsing nut and seeds into flour. If you use wet blade, you will make nut butter! :-)
