I use my Vitamix every day for smoothies, salad dressings, and soups. This blender is so powerful. Absolutely wonderful. It chops everything perfectly and makes it silky smooth.
Pros: Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Power
I have broken 2 nutribullets so I knew it was time to scale up to something that can handle my smoothie addiction. I am happy to report that this is worth every penny. My smoothies are smoother than ever, the clean up is easy and there are no signs of this baby breaking any time soon.
Pros: Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Power
I bought the vitamin after my last blender broke. What a difference in the smoothness and texture of my smoothies. There are no lumps or problems with getting all the ingredients mixed together.
I brought the equivalent of this Vitamin, it was called the Super 5000 back then. I bought it over twenty years ago and I have never had a single problem with it. There's a skip nowadays at one speed but I'm still using the same pitchers and blades. I came on here to look around because I friend stopped by who saw me using it and has gone through multiple other brands and couldn't believe how old mine was. I may invest in a new pitcher one of these days for sharper blades but best money I ever spent. Anyway....gotta go make my morning smoothie.
Pros: Programability, Speed of Service, Durability, Power
Really wonderful machine and worked a few times very well. The motor started overheating, producing a burning odor, and turning off within the first 5 times we used the blender. It's unusable on anything a little thicker than water. We sent it back to the warranty shop, but haven't gotten it back as yet.

Hi! It is important to know that sometimes the machine may emit a burning odor and/or stop temporarily because its thermal protector sensed that the machine was about to overheat. If this occurs, we recommend turning the power switch off for up to 45 minutes, allowing the machine to cool down or reset. To avoid overheating your machine in the future, be sure to ramp the machine up to the highest speed within five seconds of turning it on to activate the cooling fan in the motor.
