Noise level is autism kid approved. My child usually gets startled with loud noises (blenders, vacuums, etc.) and with this blender, she doesn’t run away due to the noise. It’s nice knowing that every time I turn it on, it won’t scare my child.

This is the second Vitamix blender I’ve owned and I am so happy I chose to go back to them. I’ve been using a Ninja blender due to cost for the last couple of years and I have quickly realized that I was getting what I was paying for! The operation of the blender is user friendly and the performance is amazing. The food is blended perfectly without unwanted clumps. The blender holds a decent amount of food as well and works quickly.

It takes 2-3 smoothie cycles for it to properly blend. Also the container moves off center on the base a lot while blending.

Hi there! Vitamix containers are not designed to lock into place. Therefore, it is completely normal for the container shift slightly while on the base. When you turn the unit on, you will notice that the container may shift slightly to the right or the left. This is intended, as the motor base is aligning with the container for optimal performance. If you feel more comfortable, you may place your hand on top of the lid while you blend to better secure the container. However, do not press down on the container in an attempt to “lock” it in place, as doing so could cause damage the motor. Also know that the programs are a suggested time, typically for a single serve smoothie, you may have to blend longer when making a large batch like in this photo. Using you tamper while blending will also speed up the process. Please call us at 1-800-848-2649 and we would be happy to troubleshoot the machine and provide more blending tips.
I have used Vitamix in a professional setting and have always wanted to get one for my home. I love the color and the ability to use it with the food processor accessories.
At this price I would have expected a glass material instead of plastic.
Pros: Power

We appreciate your interest in a glass container option. The Vitamix Research and Development team continuously researches alternate options for a non-plastic container. At this time, we have not found a suitable glass container design to meet the strict safety and performance requirements we place on our products. With that being said, we continue to research this design and encourage you to stay tuned for updates on new products.
