Bought my Vitamix 1 month ago, and so happy I did. My husband needs protein shakes on a daily basis for healing and health purposes. Without the Vitamix, they were a nightmare. Now just a few minutes and it is ready to go. It basically cleans itself when you are done. Add water, soap, turn on and done.
After burning up two inferior blenders, I decided to splurge and get one that will last. With a seven year warranty on the motor, this sounded like the one I needed. It got great recommendations from Consumer Reports. I've had this blender for about two months now and coudn't be happier. It blends beautifully and even pulverizes the seeds from berries ! No more seeds sticking in your teeth. I use this just for fruit smoothies. After adding my almond milk, ground flax seed, protein powder, and spinach, I put the frozen fruit on top (bananas,kiwi,pineapple,cranberries etc.). It doesn't take long before I have a nice cold, great tasting smoothie. It's pricey, but you get what you pay for. I couldn't be happier.
This is the 6th Vitamix I have purchased in twenty-two years, and the first one still works fine. My sisters, nieces, and daughters now all have one. They are beautifully engineered, super powerful, easy to use and clean, AND they are made in the US. We are all healthier because of the smoothies, soups, sauces, and baby food we can make. We love Vitamix.

I'm using my Vitamix about two months now, and I'm so glad I bought it. One of the best investments I've ever made! Works perfect, have no issues so far. Thank you!
