This is the best appliance I own! I may not ever buy another juicer or food processor ever again. Watch the instructional DVD and pay attention to the different blending techniques. I use my Vitamix to masticate fruits and vegetables for juicing with the help of Vitamix's high quality nut-milk bags. Note: the nut bags are also worth the price. I make different smoothies daily (nothing goes to waste in my fridge anymore) and pesto's of all kinds e.g., I roasted red cabbage sprinkled with smoked paprika and applewood smoked salt and and then blended it in the Vitamix with nutritional yeast and garlic---it was fantastic. I'm going to make an almond milk, cashew, banana, date, peanut butter shake right now!

I bought this for my father's birthday since he loves juices, vegetables creams and fruit pulps. He is so happy with it! Every day he makes a new something and doesn't let anyone touch his favorite appliance

My wife and I have had one for years and our daughter grew up using it. As she was planning her move to Denver, she asked if she could have our old one. "You could buy a new one" she said. I did and as a surprise, I placed this new one in her apartment with all the boxes so she would find it as she was unpacking. Brought her to tears. She uses it daily mostly for smoothies.
The only way to get your greens and nutrients all at one time. I never experienced a blender like this that would blend chia seeds and kale and make them smooth.
