Had an accident and left a teaspoon in my cacao smoothie not long after we had invested in our Vitamix. It shattered the jug, took chunks out of the blades but still worked for a long time patched up with duct tape. It broke whilst making bullet coffees - the heat must have melted the glue. Thought it must be time to replace it. BUT instead of getting a Vitamix we opted for a ‘professional’ generic one. Whilst it did the job it lacked air holes under the blade - where the jug sits on the motor. This caused warmer smoothies! And I wanted the real macoy! Hence the purchase!! Sometimes it is worth the cost to buy the brand.
Pros: Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Product features, Power
Replaced the container for a Vitamix I purchased many years ago. It has been a workhorse. The new container fits perfectly so did not have to replace the motor base. Saved a lot of money.
I got a new 64-ounce container for my Vitamix for the cost of shipping as part of a class action settlement. Can't beat that!! I've had my Vitamix for a few years now and LOVE it!!! It gets used daily. Would never buy a standard blender again.
I’ve had my Vitamix for several years now and use it almost everyday for a protein shake. My container needed replacing so this was it! Of course now my wife doesn’t want me to use it since my old one still works (it just looks rough!). So I guess this one is for “display only!”
