I wasn't sure if I was going to keep this because I have an older model, about 30 something years old, that still works great! I do love that this model is shorter than my older model and I love the wider container and that I can see through the container. My smoothies are ready in about 40 seconds and it makes great cashew milk. I love that this model is quieter than my old model. I love that I now have container options and the food processor attachment. I decided I do love this model but am still nervous that it will not last the 30 something years that my older model has lasted. My older model is stainless steel and this one has a lot of plastic. I do love the red though!! So I've decided even though I'm going to keep this new model, I'm going to hang on to my older model for a little bit, even if it is pushed to the back of the cupboard.
Pros: Durability, Versatility, Product features, Power
Love this blender so glad I got it! The only thing I wish I could have chosen the container size. I am only one person and it comes with the 64 oz size and now I have to purchase the 48oz size. Otherwise I’m thrilled with it. It makes the best smoothies!
Pros: Speed of Service, Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Product features, Power
Amazing horsepower, can blend almost anything. Just more difficult to make nice cream with this blender compared to my old vitamix pro series 200, hence the 3 stars (one of the main reasons I decided to upgrade)
Pros: Power

Hi there. Be sure you are blending on the highest speed and utilizing the tamper!
I bought my Vitamix a month ago now and I am so happy I did! Not sure that I really believed all the hype - but I am a believer now! The smoothies and soups are incredible.
