I bought my Vitamix blender (which is not cheap) over 10 years which I typically use at least once or twice a day. While my original blender jar is still going strong, I recently purchased a 2nd new blender jar (with a new blade) so I can use it for my Vitamix needs and use my older jar for shredding food waste for my garden compost. Given how frequently I use my Vitamix blender, it has been a good investment providing value on a daily basis for over a decade.
This is a replacement since I have had a Vitamix for over two years. I use it three or four times a week to make green drinks for either breakfast or lunch. Love it.
Pros: Programability, Texture Quality, Product features, Power
We have a Very Old Vitamix with a container that looked pretty old and grungy as it gets used almost every day. Was great to get a new one, new tamper and a spatula which I'd never had and is perfect for coaxing items away from the blades.
We bought a replacement container since our original container became scratched and opaque after daily use for the past four years. Would recommend cleaning them a bit more than the 30 seconds that the manual suggests.
I brought my new container after 6 years of good us with the old one. Nice new one, great. The lid feels too plastic which is a shame, I prefer my old one.
This container was a replacement for my old container, which had been dropped and had, naturally, cracked near the blade. I love my very useful Vitamix enough to pay the amount to replace the container. The tamper, which comes with the container, is the reason that I would not go with another brand of blender. No other blender has this necessary tool, that I have found.
