I’ve made a whole pitcher of smoothies for my family every day for the past 10 years. I just bought my second replacement pitcher. It seems pricey until you realize what you get out of it. I think it works better than anything else out there too!
Pros: Programability, Speed of Service, Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Power
I purchased a new container for my vitamix because the original container warped. The new container does not work on the base as I think the fitting on the base is partially stripped. Soooo disappointing all around and would not purchase a vitamix again—- not worth the price
Eventually it will become brittle and break when you accidentally drop it. This is my third one in probably 4 years. It’s unfortunate that it’s so expensive, but it’s better than generic replacements. No blender is as good as vitamix, so I have to buy it. Wish there was a sturdy glass option.
I love my Vitamix, however, I wish the container sat farther down onto the base so that it couldn't move while blending and wreck the metal parts which is why I ended up needing to replace the last one (other than that there was nothing wrong with it).
