Love vitamix and made an upgrade purchase after sadly breaking my old one beyond repair. I was excited about the food processor attachment and while I do enjoy the new machine I have two dislikes. The top cover on the blender is hard plastic instead of rubber and not that easy to manage. I much prefer the rubber. The food processor works well but the two blades for veggie sticks and julienne strips are misleading. They are neither of the sort and merely course graters. I regret paying the extra $$$ for those blades. Otherwise I am still loyal to Vitamix and enjoy this new machine every single day. I'm still getting used to the programs and at least using one for my daily smoothie. My nut butters are getting better and smoother every time I make one.
Pros: Texture Quality, Easy to use, Product features, Power
