Vita-Mix 5000 Variable Speed Blender Review

This product blends a variety of foods: fruits, vegetables, ice, grains, cheese, etc.  It can make smoothies, sauces, chop, shred, and even make dough. It also blends popcorn into corn meal or wheat berries into wheat flour. I use it every day. It is a great way to hide vegetables in sauces, smoothies, or doughs.  It is very powerful and has no trouble blending all foods.  It has a variable setting that ranges from 1 (for soft foods) to 10 (for hard or frozen foods). It also has a high setting that blends powerfully and quickly. It has an attachment for blending most foods and then another attachment for blending dry foods and grains.
