I came across a Vita-Mix demonstration at our local Sam's Club store. It took me only ten minutes to make up my mind to buy one. — I could feel my glycemic index rising, as we drank down several different juice smoothies and soups. I would not recommend doing this! In fact, you would not. But for demonstration purposes, the demonstrator made at least five different things in a matter of 30 minutes. — The blender is so powerful seeds, and rinds from most fruits can be added directly into the plastic blending cup. It pulverizes whatever it is you add. You can gather your… read full review »

Noisy and a bit pricey, but worth it! This machine can do it all. I find the demo's both annoying and engaging. Can one machine do it all? Yes, almost. — We've had the Vitamix for almost three months, and have done blender soup, icecream and many many smoothies. The other dry blender is noisy and fast at changing dry wheat berries into flour. (The bread was a bit strong wheat tasting and a little on the heavy side for my family.) — I bought this at a Costco demo and couldn't be more pleased. — My family and I play a guess the secret… read full review »

Not a "Blender" - an invaluable necessity.

I don't know how I lived without it. Remember the old bit of "It slices! It Dices!" It does, and then some. You want specifics? Fine. You can: — Make smoothies that easily equal Jamba Juice smoothies — Make soup out of a handful of ingredients, and cook it right in the VitaMix — Make ice creams and sorbets — Chop ginger, garlic, onions or whatever in zero seconds — Make butter or whipped cream practically instantly — Grind nuts, wheat berries, etc — A million more things I can't think of right now. — — It is expensive - boy, is… read full review »

We saw this product for the first time and were absolutely blown away by the many things you could make with it! It seemed awesome but too expensive to justify. We later met friends who raved over theirs and then kept seeing demos of it. We continued to be amazed by all the things you could do with it. We finally broke down and spent the money on it. We have made soup, smoothies, ice cream, salsas, and many more things. It is well worth the money even for someone who may not like to spend money...like my… read full review »

After using an Oster blender that couldn't even handle a milkshake, I am in blender heaven with this machine! We use it nearly every day to make smoothies. I love that we are getting the full nutrition from our fruits - apples, for example, can be thrown in peels, cores, and all. We can also make hummus, healthy ice cream, and hot soups. I have never seen it jam or struggle; it just does its job and I don't have to think about it. I would recommend it for any health-conscious… read full review »

I had seen Vita-Mix blenders in the past and was afraid of spending $400 for something that usually costs less than $100. However, this blender truly surprised me! It really blends anything you throw into it. You can liquify ice, make soup... anything you can think of. I highly recommend it. All of the claims I had heard about it were absolutely true. This is the device I use the most in my… read full review »

The Vitamix is wonderfull for making baby food, margaritas, shakes, salsa. soup. It comes with a seven year warranty. Several people I've spoken to who make their baby food have killed sooooo many blenders if you kill this one they fix it!!!!! Actually makes ice cream. You can sneak in vitamins and nobody will notice they have a great recipe book… read full review »
