Product Description
Vitamix is one of the few blenders on the market is actually powerful enough to give you really good smoothies. It has a powerful motor that is good for breaking up the cell walls on your greens so that the nutrients are more bioavailable. Vitamix is a really old company with a fantastic reputation. I know people still using their 40-year old VM machine. It also comes with a tamper for blending thicker mixtures. I love the VM tamper for really thick blender concoctions—raw frostings, pates made with nuts, etc. The Vitamix is a favorite of many raw foodists.
Michele – :
I LOVE my Vitamix! It is nice to get to make soup, sorbet, and smoothies in this strong blender. I do find that I have to chop up apples or beets so I don’t get half of an unchopped produce item at the bottom of the jar. I am not sure whether or not Blendtec would be better or not, but I do know that the customer service has been phenomenal for Vitamix.
I ordered mine off Amazon.com and found out that the person who shipped it as new had actually activated the warranty! I was shocked and I explained to Vitamix what happened, they extended the warranty for my husband and me without cost. In addition, the cookbook I received from them had pages stuck together right out of the package. Vitamix customer service shipped me a completely NEW cookbook. I am grateful for what I have. If I were to replace my blender with another Vitamix, they’ve come out with a new edition where the big pitcher isn’t so tall like the one I bought. It will actually fit UNDER the cabinet with its height.
