This blender is amazing! I've had Oster blenders and a Ninja blender over the past 15 years. None of them had the power and capacity of this VX1 Vitamix. It makes SMOOTH smoothies, even with fresh kale in the mix. The half-gallon pitcher is so good for making breakfast protein smoothies for my family of 6. It's a breeze to keep clean with the self-cleaning mode, though for really sticky ingredients like peanut butter, sometimes I have to give the sides of the pitcher a quick pass with my scrubbing brush. The blender is loud, but it has a 2.2hp motor, so I'm not at all surprised. Because it blends so quickly, the noise doesn't even matter. So, so glad I bought this blender.

Very reliable and easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received The Vitamix VX1 blender at no cost for my honest review from the Vitamix company through influenster. The Vitamix VX1 Blender is an amazing product! It is so easy to learn to use. It is extremely reliable at mixing up anything that you put in it. Whole fresh or frozen fruit, vegetables, ice, or whatever you are wanting to blend together. It is so easy to clean and maintain just add some dish soap and warm water turn it to the clean cycle and you're done! I would say that this blender is compatible with a lot of the higher-end blenders on the market. I would definitely recommend this blender to anyone. I understand why a lot of major restaurants use The Vitamix VX 1 Blender.
My vx1 black us is wonderful. I may put in for an upgrade soon!

Sleek but powerful blender

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have an old refurbished vitamix that is large and bulky on the counter, this vitamix VX1 is sleek but powerful. I find it important to add the ingredient in the correct order for best results. It effortlessly whips up protein shakes, warm soups or cold! I have used it to grind coffee as well. I love the fact it has the clean feature where you simply add warm water and a touch of dish soap and turn it on! Its sturdy base doesn’t shake all over when turned on either.
The blender is really small and doesn’t hold much. I purchased the blender to make food for my 14 yr old with special needs on a puréed diet due to feeding issues, and it takes a lot longer to blend his food using this blender.

Hi, this unit comes with our largest household container, 64 oz. We understand for a blended diet a bigger container would be helpful. Our commercial line offers units with a 1.5 gallon container, that might be better suited for your needs.
