Love, Love, Love, Love it. This is absolutely one of my most beloved products sitting on my kitchen counter top. I use the vitamix for making all kinds of things. Here's a list of things which I've made using my vitamix: - Homemade Butter - Homemade Coconut Butter - Homemade Coconut Oil - Homemade Coconut Milk - Homemade Almond Milk - Homemade Cashew Milk - Homemade Peanut Butter - Homemade Almond Butter - Homemade Salsa - Homemade cooking bases - Spanish / Indian / Italian - Homemade Power Smoothies - using avocado / pineapple / kale / spinach / chia seeds / flax seeds / protein powder / mango / blueberries - (frozen or fresh) - Homemade Ice Cream - Homemade Mashed Potatoes - Homemade Orange Juice (without a juicer yes!! it is doable with a vitamix)
I absolutely love this product. I don't know what I'd do without it.
Pros: Programability, Speed of Service, Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Versatility, Product features
We've owned (and loved) 4 Ninja Blenders but their lifespan isn't as long as the Vitamix so we decided to make the switch. We like the former so much better and are disappointed with our purchase. A burning smell that is indicated in the manual upon initial use lasted far longer than suggested. The ribs on the inside of the canister make it difficult to scrape down. The soft rubber platform that the canister sits on sheds when wiping with a damp rag and when you continue on to wipe the sides these specs stick to the plastic and smear which are then impossible to get off. The rubber also sticks to the bottom of the canister and when it's placed on our light countertop it leaves black marks that don't come off easily. The lid isn't that easy to pry off. The Ninja has all of these complaints beat in every way. The one upside is that the motor is definitely superior to the Ninja.
Pros: Power

Hi! We appreciate you taking the time to provide us feedback on your product. We will take these points into consideration. If you are still getting a burning smell it is because its thermal protector sensed that the machine was about to overheat. If this occurs, we recommend turning the power switch off for up to 45 minutes, allowing the machine to cool down or reset. To avoid overheating your machine in the future, be sure to ramp the machine up to the highest speed within five seconds of turning it on to activate the cooling fan in the motor.
I have searched for so long for a blender with this much power and capability! I love the attachment feature, I have also purchased the self detect blender cups and the food processor attachment! Amazing, don’t hesitate!!! So worth it!

So far, I love the blender. It makes perfect smoothies and crushes everything I put in it. I was looking for a durable blender that can be used everyday and I believe this is it.
