This is the fourth Vitamix I have purchased, one for me and three for wedding gifts. I like to give gifts that will be used often and last a longtime. Vitamix fits the bill.
It really IS worth the extra cash. There’s a reason this thing is the big boy on the block. It will pretty much liquify whatever you put in it. It’s built like a tank, powerful, and easy to clean. If you’re considering this, buy it! You won’t be disappointed.
I've been using this for a few weeks and it's generally been awesome. It struggles with large batches where there are too many frozen ingredients, but will still blend those with heavy tamper use. Otherwise it's awesome--blends any batch size, completely pulverizes seeds and greens, make hummus, etc. Really enjoying it and use it every day.
Pros: Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Versatility
I am so glad I finally purchased this blender. This is the only appliance which sits on my counter. We use it daily and our intake of fruits and veggies has dramatically increased. It is loud, but totally worth it.
Pros: Speed of Service, Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Versatility, Power
