This blender has been used for a making different things and it really does it well.Ive made smoothies on other blenders and it was almost always lumpy , but my vitamin really gets all my ingredients down to a fine liquid. It has plenty of power, I am very satisfied with this purchase.
I waited for years to purchase a vitamix. Because of the cost. Not realizing the actual cost I was paying by using a sub par blender. Wow. This is my favorite appliance and I use it daily. There is not a price tag you can put on your health and this is so worth the money!
Pros: Durability, Easy to use, Product features, Power
I have owned many high-end blenders in my 63 years, and this is, by far, the best one I've ever used. I sees use 3 times a week to make small batches of food for my dog, as well as making sauces and other things for my own use. Instead of creating a slurry of small piece like all of my previous blenders have, my Vitamix makes the smoothest, velvety mixtures I've ever made, without any piece I could make out without a microscope. I am deeply impressed.
