I bought my Vitamix in 2012 and just bought a replacement container as the blades were a bit dull on the original after daily use for almost 12 years. I don't know what I would do without my Vitamix! This is the most amazing blender. It will pulverize anything into a smooth consistency.
I bought this for my mom and her first time using it was to make Mole - she typically has to run our blender around 10 times to get it to blend properly - she did it in 2 times with this - she absolutely loved it
I have owned my Vitamix for over 45 years . Use her everyday for morning smoothies and for any other needs I might have . I have only had to replace my canister 4 times in that many years . I love my Vitamix .
We hadn't replaced the pitcher since we bought our Vitamix. We knew our container had gotten tiny scratches from the daily blending we do -- smoothies, soups, etc -- but we had NO IDEA how much we'd appreciate a new container. We were lucky to buy our container during a holiday sale, but it is a high-quality product so I would recommend purchase regardless. A reminder that the blending container houses the blades, so when you get a new pitcher and food tamper, you also get brand new sharp blades!
Pros: Speed of Service, Durability, Easy to use, Versatility, Power
I damaged my first container with a careless mice, so I was delighted to get a new container, taking advantage of the Black Friday sale. I missed using my Vitamix because of its versatility: smoothies, desserts, soups, dressings.
