Vita-Mix 5000 Variable Speed Blender Review

The Vita-Mix 5000-My favorite friend. Oh my goodness what a wonderful machine. Everything you have ever heard about this mixer is TRUE. Makes wonderful smoothies then makes delicious hot soups.  This mixer makes making smoothies and cleaning up the mess so easy that you don't mind using the machine. You are aware of the machines we buy then never use  because they are so hard to clean.  It's so much easier to make a sandwich and forget thinking healthy.  But this mixer is fast and easy. I have had my machine for years and it still works great. No problems at all.  Last month I decided to try the Jack Lalane juicer.  I thought maybe I would get to use more of the fruit than I do in my Vita. When I make a smothie I don't throw the entire piece of fruit in like Mr LaLane tells us to do. I peal and remove seed and take those extra steps. Well I bought the machine and oh what a mistake that was.  I made one drink and it was delicious but then it took me thirty minutes to clean the darn machine. Who has time for that.  I packed it back up and returned it to Mr. Lellane with a letter stating Thankis but I will use my Vita-Mix.
