I got this blender recently and I thank God I did. I am so grateful to the inventor. I can eat my moi-moi (beans pudding) and akara (beans cake) anytime I want just because I have this blender.
I knew when i bought a vitamix that it was THE best of the best. but, MAN. It blends anything and everything in no time! anything that gets stuck immediately blends with a little help from the wand! (: I make my thick veggie/fruit loaded smoothie every single morning, no problem. I love love LOVE it...ill never use anything else.

I am so happy with my purchase. Used different blenders but so far this is the most excellent blender I have used since it makes me nice smoothie and blends vegetables perfect. Does not leave any particles while blending baby spinach, spring mix, etc

We purchased our Vitamix many moons ago. We have had to send it back twice for service, which the company completed quickly. Each time the problems were associated with the canister. It's like it was locking up and then putting drag on the motor. We would get this smell and then the motor would overheat. The second time we sent it back they sent us a new canister and it's worked well for almost a year. Well, it started doing it again last night. Also the knob for changing the speeds has also come loose. I have no doubt that I will contact Vitamix and they will make sure everything is right. I'm just a little nervous that we're closing in on the end of our warranty and once it's out of warranty we'll just be out of luck. We love having a Vitamix but I fear we've just gotten a bit of a lemon. We have always followed instructions carefully with our machine.. even babied it a bit because of it's weaknesses. Our friends purchased one right when we did and have never had the issues we've had. I still recommend this machine because it works beautifully. Just not sure about this model. Maybe the 750 is a better choice? Not quite so many issues with the canister.

Honestly, the most important thing to me about getting a blender was just the prospect that it might make eating healthier easy. Vitamix definitely did that for me. The effectiveness, reliability, and ease of clean-up that the Vitamix brings to the table inspires me to eat healthy more often because of how quickly and effortlessly I can get it done. Without it, I'd eat a lot less whole foods. This alone makes it well worth the higher price tag.

We bought ours in Malaysia and we've travelled to four other countries using 220/240 volt settings. It has always performed beautifully. We typically blend smoothies from a mix of liquid and frozen fruits and yogurts. Blending for 4-6 minutes means an extremely rich and smooth texture that makes even vegetable soups a thing of beauty. This turns out 5-star food whatever your skill in the kitchen. Also realise that you'll digest many more nutrients from blending with this product.
