Got this for a reasonable price on sale here at Amazon. Love this blender and the tall 64oz container 👍🏽

This is my 2nd VitMix. My 1st is 17 years old and still running in my cabin! It’s a smoothie must!

Let me start by saying years ago I had originally purchased the costco vitamix model, Explorian E310. Overall the performance was good but my biggest issue was the food kept getting stuck and no matter how often I'd use the taper, air pockets made it difficult to use. Sadly I ended up returning and was disappointed.Fast forward to now, looking to make all homemade baby purees. I decided maybe a different model was the ticket. I did quite of bit of research and landed on this model with a thinner taller blend bowl than the E310. I was still skeptical but decided to try it. WOW WHAT A DIFFERENCE. I am so pleased with it, blends all the purees to a pulp and no more air pocket issues at all. I also love the white, it fit my kitchen colors perfectly and made me excited to use it vs the darker colors.

This really is a superb blender (and for the price should be). From soups to smoothies to crushing ice, this machine will handle it. On the other hand, this is probably more blender than most people need and seems well suited for a bar or smoothie shop. But if you don't mind the cost, you won't be disappointed with the product.

Heard so much hype about this blender, so I just had to see for myself. The thing is impressive. Instead of smoothies splashing around inside container, it operates so smoothly. Also transforms fresh veggies into hot soup in minutes! Pricey product but no regrets purchasing it.

My daughter has one and I’ve wanted one and got it for my birthday. I love it! I’m so happy with this blender.

There is absolutely nothing I do not like about this blender. Its strength is it's simplicity, no gimmicky buttons or modes, just two switches and a dial. Over the past five years, we've used this blender to make soups, smoothies, nut butters, and more - we've been impressed each time. This appliance has more than earned it's spot on our countertop, and we're proud to show it off. This thing is worth every penny, even at full price. I also recommend the personal cup adapter for making on-the-go smoothies.

My daughter is fed via g-tube. We do home blending instead of formula.My old blender was a really nice Ninja, probably $100 or more brand new. The first picture is my daughter's food on its 4th straining after blending with the Ninja. Meaning I had strained it already THREE TIMES before taking that picture and deciding it was good enough. I had to use pre-pureed meat from the baby food aisle (opening a million little jars and trying to scoop it all out with a spoon) because the Ninja would not blend meat enough and it kept clogging up the tubes.The second picture is the FIRST STRAIN on Vitamix. I never strain it all now, and I blend home-cooked meat now. The Vitamix completely liquefies everything.If you're a tube family just get it. I didn't believe it was that big of a difference. It is. I was so, so wrong. I'm never going back. Everything is getting blended now. No more chewing in my house, it's no longer allowed. I don't care if you don't like steak smoothies, that's what I'm making so quit yer fussin.

Good product. One thing I did not know: you need to use the "plunger" most of the time to keep the solids from jamming the rotor.

So Ive been wanting a Vitamix (or at the very least a blender that I didn't have to pick up and shake to get the ingredients to mix) for a long time. An adult blender not purchased from the .99cent store that also sells very uncomfortable looking polyester underwear.I was just so so so d*mn sick of cooking absolutely every meal, and I blame la pandemia for my purchase..... but sometimes it really is about the destination and not the journey because now I have a chefs blender that makes meals in seconds that you can drink through a straw (or I suppose directly out of the container if you're also so so so d*mn sit of doing dishes every 5 seconds).Life is hard right now. Just buy the blender.Anyway, I made a vegan (someone shoot me now for my tragic hipness) red pepper cashew soup in about 15 minutes, and must warm you to believe they hype about the spices being stronger. I did not believe the hype because spices are already powder...... but the apparently vitamix cuts up spice powder molecules too, so watch out because the flavors do in fact intensify.1 box vegetable or pollo broth4 red peppers (roast them first on the stove top to remove the skins)1 cup cashews (better if you can soak them for awhile)1 onion2 cloves garliccurry powdersaffronReally watch it with the seasonings. I mean it.Also, when I put water and dish soap in only like a third of the way full to wash it after, it worked like a dream...... except the vitamix really flooffed up all the soap a lot and it exploded all over the kitchen when I took the lid off, so watch it with soap and floofable items too.
