I bought a bit over a month ago and i have not yet time to explore all the avenues it can create. Therefore, i have tried different latte and i luv it. Vitamix is the best investment I made for my kitchen...i will not go without it. One thing i am hoping they come up with is glass containers so the potent food would not stain the jars. namaste to all chef in the kitchen :) caroline

I love to make cocktails & have been struggling to make a nice Cosmo. The recipes on the website + this container made the BEST margaritas & pomegranate cosmopolitans! Worth the price.
Pros: Texture Quality, Easy to use, Recipe Enhancement, Product features, Power
I really debated about buying this I wasn’t sure if the price and having to store it in my kitchen was worth it. Well I was presently surprised how much I am using it. It’s become a daily staple mainly for instant flavored water. I toss in water, ice, cucumber, lemon, etc and thirty seconds later it’s done. This would make easy lemonade.
I am looking forward to trying the other recipes.

I ordered this item because I do like the Vitamix brand. Even though it was 50% off, it appears to be poorly made. Both the top and the pusher are not the same quality as the original. To be honest, you are paying for the blade. If one could get a hold of a blade, you might be able to convert an existing container rather than spending 100-200 dollars.

We are glad to hear that you are a fan of Vitamix. We do not sell just the blades and we do not recommend anyone changing out the blades themselves for your own safety. Vitamix stand behind the quality of our containers with full warranties, covering all parts, performance, labor, and two-way shipping at no cost to you.
I really enjoy it for both drinks and the whipped cream! So simple - the only downside is the lack of recipe variety - please publish additional recipes.
I’m excited to give this container a few more tries. There are not too many recipes and I haven’t had time to work with it. I did try using coconut cream to whip but it didn’t get stiff, possibly because the cream wasn’t cold. I will be trying this again.
Pros: Versatility

You will master whipping, muddling, foaming, and emulsifying in no time. Yes, the coconut cream/milk would need to be cold for sure. Let us know how it turns out!
