Product Description
Now this is literally a workhorse (actually 2+ workhorses) of a blender! The winning combination of a commercial quality powerful motor and a blade design that sucks the ingredients in for incredibly thorough blending, results in smooth, uniform consistency. It has a standout warranty, and an unbreakable jar with generous capacity. Easy to clean and with no parts to assemble, this is the penultimate blender.

5 out of 5 stars great blender!   June 8, 2008

This was my first expensive blender and I love it. Couldn't decide on the K-Tec or this one. After much research I chose the Vita Mix. I'm making green smoothies and nut milks. I like this one because it has a tamper and it seems to not bring as much oxygen to oxidize the green drinks. Also I like the new Vita Mix because it has a new container that has no BPA in the plastic. K - Tec is working on getting theirs changed also. The power of the Vita Mix is less but let me tell you it is powerful to break up anything I put in it. I like that I can contol everything unlike the K-Tec which is mostly programable. Some people like the K-Tec because of this. Not me I'm a control freak. The only thing I wish I had spent the extra money on the variable speed. This one only has only two speeds. Both have the same amout of power. I was trying to save some money. Vita Mix has very solid product and they have been around a long time. Another reason I went with Vita Mix.


5 out of 5 stars Fine machine -- Great customer service   May 20, 2008

After 5 years it had a problem with the speed control. I called their customer service (in Cleveland) and they are sending a shipping label right out so I can send it to them without paying shipping costs. It takes 2 days to fix and then they ship it back to me. Pretty amazing to have that kind of warranty and service these days.


5 out of 5 stars Favorite, most-used appliance for 10 years!   February 27, 2008

I bought a Vita-mix 10 years ago - and it is still my family's favorite, most-used appliance. It goes and goes. We even grind chicken bones in it for our dog. It can take anything! We make frozen fruit smoothies the consistency of ice cream for after-school snacks, grind four from dry beans, grind coffee, etc. etc. We had several name-brand blenders before, but blades kept breaking...


4 out of 5 stars A good grinder   February 17, 2008

This powerful machine can do many things that other grinding machines cannot do. For example, pineapple juice. However grinding everything into fluid indeed is not good for your digestion system. So do not use this machine to save your chewing. This machine is also quite pricey. Ask youself what you want to do about this machine first before committing to it.

I have had a used one which I bought from eBay and have used it for years when it decided to give up the ghost. This new blender I bought from Amazon.com is the newer version and is really perfect! Although it's not the stainless steel kind I still love it. I smoothie a lot and this puppy will surely be used. So far it works great! The price is great and the free shipping is an additional plus.
