After going through MANY other blenders, primarily for smoothies, I purchased the VX1. Wow! Handles everything I put in including frozen beets and carrots with ease! VERY happy so far with my purchase!
Blender will turn smoothies piping hot when blended for longer then 30 seconds.

Hi, due to the friction caused by the blades spinning so fast, it will eventually heat up your ingredients. That is how you can make soup in a Vitamix! When making a smoothie, we recommend frozen fruit and or ice for a cold result. Smoothies typically take less than a minute to blend and it would take several minutes for frozen ingredients to start warming up. Please call us if you have additional questions.
The blender is really small and doesn’t hold much. I purchased the blender to make food for my 14 yr old with special needs on a puréed diet due to feeding issues, and it takes a lot longer to blend his food using this blender.

Hi, this unit comes with our largest household container, 64 oz. We understand for a blended diet a bigger container would be helpful. Our commercial line offers units with a 1.5 gallon container, that might be better suited for your needs.
