Have used to make salsa, hummus, and smoothies. Easy to clean. Even when the puree is super thick, the blades run smoothly and I am not worried about over-heating or malfunction.
There are copies but Vitamix is the only way to go! Best purchase ever! Best customer service even after many years! I am grateful!! You get what you pay for folks and this is worth every penny! I make the best fresh coconut milk with also! Best frozen drinks and soups too! You're gonna love it and wonder how you did without it!!
Pros: Speed of Service, Durability, Easy to use, Power
I bought the Ninja years ago because I just couldn’t justify the price for the Vitamix. But I now make green smoothies every day and the Ninja just couldn’t get it smooth. You’d have to almost chew it. So I bought this and haven’t looked back since.

We had a VitaMix for...15 (?) years and we used it A LOT. It was giving up, so we got a new one before it completely stopped working so we wouldn't have to be without one. I'm really happy with how well this one works. I use it a lot to puree meals for my elderly aunt and my kids make lots of smoothies.
