Satisfied-only not quite suitable for meat

published

I have been using this product for years, mostly to make smoothies or soup. There is no doubt that Vitamix can blend fruit and vegetables into very smooth texture. There is only one small flaw when I tried to use this product to make baby food by blending cooked beef or chicken into puree, the blades are so powerful and it turned out the meat doesn't taste so good after turned into juice.

Best Investment - You Won’t Regret It

published

Totally satisfied with my machine’s blending ability - exceeds my expectations.
It handles all blending tasks. I also use my blender to make icing sugar from caster sugar, almond milk and soups.
This is such a reliable blender.
It is Noisy but you can purchase ear muffs to wear while operating the blender. The recipe book is fantastic and all meals I have prepared from it are delicious.
I use mine everyday and wash jug the dishwasher.
Not able to fully replace a food processor but can do the odd food processor task.
You won’t regret this purchase.

Use it everyday

I’ve had my blender for a 5 years and it’s still going strong. I use it everyday mainly for smoothies. Blending things like nuts is not a problem for this machine. I use it also to blend soups etc. I love it!

The vitamix blender is excellent. It always blends your smoothies so well leaving no chunks of fruit behind. It is also great for anything, you can mix dry ingredients and pretty much everything!

Best blender ever

published

I have gone through many blender from blendtec, magic billet etc, never had any issues with the Vitamix. I use the dry grinder as well as the wet. Excellent for soups, flours, smoothies and the list goes on. the only drawback is the noise.

Blends without missing a beat!

published

This blender is perfect for soups and smoothies, it blends to a far smoother consistency than anything I have used. Its also great for processing seeds, nuts and breadcrumbs. It’s super easy to use and easy to clean. The only downside is when making thicker things, like dips and nut butters it is a bit hard to get all the mix out of the blender due to the blades and ridges in the jug.

Worth the price if you use it daily

published

Have been using our Vitamix for almost two years primarily to make a green smoothie every morning. It easily handles a whole jug of hard to blend items like kale, celery and seeds - and excels at this - breakfast in under 30seconds. Worlds apart from the cheapie we started out with. The build quality is evident, fan cooled motor, rarely clogs, and so well designed the blades aren't even sharp, so can't get blunt. Yes it's noisy which is fine. Not a fan of the rubber lid locking system but surely it will last. Not for the dishwasher, but a quick zap with soapy water and you are done. Long 7 year warranty is good piece of mind at this price point, and you know they'll be around if you need a repair or parts.

Best blender (food processor) after sale's service experience.

published

Note; My Vitamix was 2nd hand, now having stated that after she stopped (which was odd) I contacted Vitamix USA head office with help from Australian agent, Donna was so helpful and told me my blender was still under warranty until 2021 wow, she made arrangements for pick repair and delivery at no charge to me!!!!!! She's back running superbly and everyone I speak to are so impressed Thankyou VITAMIX!

Best Blender!

published

My partner and I use this blender almost every day for smoothies or for myself I make ice cream shakes! The blender is pretty loud almost like an airplane inside your kitchen! It's such a calm blender until you push the switch up to 'high' then it's super violent with what ever is inside. You can be assured that no matter what is inside is not going to be coming out with chunks! When you clean the jug after a use you can put cold water with a little dish wash liquid inside and pop it on high for a while and the water will come out hot!

Worth the price!

We are already on this device for over three years. In the past a few years, I made smoothies for my family. It’s very easy to use. The only cons is very noise at use.

best ever

published

we use this nearly every single day for everything from chopping veggies to milk shakes to grinding grains. Yes its loud, but it doesn't bother me. I love that it can chop ice into a smoothie no problems, and I love the wet chop function as I hate chopping veggies. We bought this as we have a family member who is at risk of choking so we make blended soups a lot - from our normal dinner sometimes, (sounds gross but it isn't) - and we make a lot of veggie blend drinks. We had a nutribullet kind of thing before but it didn't have the capacity I wanted. Can't comment on how long it will last as fairly recent purchase.

love it! can (nearly) blend everything!!

great blender that we use regularly to make juice and soups. we even used it to make soy milk by blending soy beans. consistency is always smooth. and is one of the best blenders we have ever owned. it can be very noisy when you use it (sounds like a plane engine!) but expected since it is so powerful.

Use this daily!

published

High powered blender which I use daily for protein shakes and smoothies. I also use it to make nut butters, blend up soups, dressings, sauces and also to make things like almond milk and oat flour (by blending up normal rolled oats).

The plastic jug means you don't have to be too delicate and it isn't heavy like some glass jugs can be.

It can be noisy but i don't mind this as it is expected of a blender.

Consistency is excellent and makes smoothies and nut butters etc. extremely smooth. Sometimes you will need to stop and start the blender a few times and use the stick to push things back down but i really love this blender.

It's good to have it home.

I am really happy with this.
It's doing a good job even with ice inside still not making broken noise.
It's better than the other one I had beforeto.
It's worth for the price.

My vitamix stopped working, what can i do?

I have been following Vitamix recipes but am struggling to get same results? My husband attempted to blend a sambal last night and he ended up getting out an old cheap blender (Russell Hobbs) to finish the job. I've also struggled with blending pesto. I had to continually stop the machine and spoon the mixture around. again I got frustrated and gave up after 4 attempts. what are we doing wrong? smoothies no drama, but even ice cream has been tricky. I've had the machine for a month and I'm seriously thinking to take it back because I just don't want great smoothies :(

Would this be capable of mincing cubed chicken? If I purchase a secondhand blender ( unwanted gift ) still brand new in the box, I’m guessing I’m getting no warranty with it ?
