Summary: If you visit juice bars often, buy this! 2007-11-18
Comment: I bought it as a birthday gift for my mother (70 years old).
She enjoys this daily by putting celery, apple, grapes, pineapple, carrot, and other healthy vegetables and fruits into the blender and what results are smooth, creamy wonderful juices that will please your taste buds every time.
if you spend a lot of money in Jumbajuice or other juice bars, buy this without any hesitation. It will save you money in just a couple of months and will make you healthier in no time.

Summary: Worth Every Dollar 2006-09-03
Comment: I guess my husband got tired of me showing this to him and asking him to guess how much it costs because I got one for my birthday! I looked at this blender for over two years trying to justify buying it, after all it is just a blender, or so I thought.
This thing is phenomenal to say the least. I use it every day to make whole food vegetable drinks and fruit smoothies all in a minute or less. There is no struggling, no stray pieces of ice or fruit, and no fear that it's going to burn out like my other blenders did from the strain of trying to blend ice and frozen fruit over a period of time. I wouldn't have dreamed of putting cucumbers, carrots or broccoli in my old blender to make something drinkable but with this, everything is blended to a perfect consistency. You can even put whole ice cubes in it.
Want some hot tomato soup? Fine just put the ingredients and let it whir until the soup is piping hot! The blender is so powerful that the friction created actually heats the food. You can shorten the cooking time by preheating any liquids that are included in your recipe.
My Vita-Mix came with an extra container and blade that are used for grinding, a Whole Food Recipe cookbook (full of delicious recipes), a step by step Getting Started guide, a tamper, and a video. It does seem like a lot to spend for a blender but it's such a versatile product that it's well worth the money. You can use it to make dips and spreads, beverages, soups, sauces, fondues, salad dressings, batters, pureed foods, frozen desserts, and if you have the dry container and blade, you can grind your own grains.
If you are interested in including more fruits and vegetables into your diet, or want to get your kids to get more fruit and veggies, this is the way to go. Before I got this, I probably used my old blender to make smoothies once or twice a week. Now I use it daily so I leave it sitting on the counter, and it takes no time at all to make a quick breakfast drink before I go to work or a refreshing fruit smoothie drink when I come home. I'm not one to sit around nibbling on carrots and celery, but I will put them in the Vita-Mix for a refreshing low-calorie drink. There's a recipe in the cookbook using carrots that's truly delicious, Citrus Carrot Cocktail. I have never craved carrots but I do crave this drink and make it a lot!
Cleaning the container is easy. Just rinse it out with hot water or put a drop of dishwashing liquid in it along with a cup or so of water and run the machine on high for a few seconds and rinse it out. The container is made from polycarbonate material which apparently does not do well with the high Ph balance of automatic dishwasher soap so the manufacturer does not recommend washing the container in the dishwasher.
I looked at a couple of other high end blenders and found that some of them had a tendency to "walk" on the counter. This one has four thick rubber feet that keeps it in place when switching the blender to high. It's very loud but then it's very powerful. So powerful in fact, that it comes with a lid and lid plug that lock into place because once it's switched to high, the ingredients are moved with such force that it can knock a loose lid off of the container. The lid plug must always be used unless using the tamper in its place to make ice cream and nut butters.
To get the most out of this blender, make sure you read the instructions in the owner's manual and use the recipes in the cookbook until you get comfortable with using it. It's not complicated to use but it's extremly powerful and it's easy to over process your food items. For instance, if you're making a smoothie, the longer the machine runs, the hotter the ingredients will get and you could wind up with a lukewarm smoothie.
Consider adding the Tovolo ice pop molds as an accessory item to enjoy your favorite juice drink as an icy treat! Tovolo Green Shooting Star Pop Molds

Summary: Is it worth the price? 2006-06-19
Comment: I fell in love with this machine at a Sam's Club demonstration last weekend. The biggest selling point for me was that the guy made a fantastic tortilla soup using whole, raw (healthy!) vegtables in 3 minutes. My tortilla soup recipe takes at least an hour AND didn't taste as good. Easy clean up. Great recipes. But the price is a bit too high so I haven't let myself purchase it yet.

Summary: Vita-mix is great!!!!!!!! 2005-09-29
Comment: I saw this Vita-Mix and a Home and Garden show in Anaheim Califorina. I was very impressed and wanted to but it but I was low on cash so I waited till I had the money and bought the professional version. It comes with a wonderful DVD and the receipe book is just out of this world. This mixer does everything but cook a steak on the BBQ. The DVD explains all the things it can do like make soup and bread dough. I thought I was just going to make fresh fruit with wheat germ, honey and soy protein drinks. I was totally wrong. And I'm glad I am because it is worth every penny. Make sure you get the DVD and book with any model you choose it is worth it. I love mine and I'm sure you will too. I use it every day and clean up takes seconds.
