Vita-Mix 5000 Variable Speed Blender Review

The one word that could be used to describe this blender is "AWESOME".  There is absolutely nothing this unit cannot do.  Able to leap tall buildings, just about.  It has so much ommph, you can even make soup with it.  The unit makes great smoothies, malts, you name it. It has enough gumption that we make healthy food for our dogs grinding whole chicken parts to puree with no hassle at all.  It amazes me every time I use it, that it can just torque itself through any task you give it.  I bet it could pull out tree stumps!  Throw in fruit, core and all, and it makes it into juice.  No bits of stuff floating around, just juice. 

On top of the incredible performance this blender offers, it's simple to clean.  Just pour in soap and water, and turn it on. Voila!  It's done!  We've owned this blender for 10 years now, and it's still going strong.  Wouldn't think of owning another brand, as it's paid for itself 10 times over.  It's a great value for the money.
