This is my first vitamix. I would say it is far superior to my last high power blender which was a dash. Its power is awesome, I’ve ground flour, made smoothies, hummus and salsa so far. It has blended everything with ease, compared to my dash which would sometimes seem to struggle blending thicker things. I look forward to trying other recipes.
Pros: Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Versatility, Recipe Enhancement, Power
This is my first Vitamix, and it has DEFINITELY lived up to the hype. Fun and easy to use, and easy to clean EVEN for a person with a shallow sink (thanks to the fact that it’s basically self-cleaning!). The tamper comes in handy frequently, and the blender has only had trouble with the very thickest of mixes. We went from using our crappy old blender once every two weeks to using this literally twice a day.
This blender was everything I hoped it to be! It's strong, easy to use and efficient! I've been using it for two mos. now and I'm glad I made the splurge.
