Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-07-20 Summary: top of the line ... I had a Waring blender for years and it worked fine, but when it finally gave out I began looking into purchasing a new one. After reading the many reviews on Waring and others, I decided to go with the Vita-mix even though it was considerably more expensive than I wanted to pay. I'm so glad I did! The Vita-mix is an amazing machine with all the power that one would ever need I think. The variable speed is so nice to have in controlling some thing you blend and the fast speed is unbelievable and not any noisier that ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-05-24 Summary: The holy grail! ... My wife was completely skeptical of us getting one of these, but from the moment we got it, we have been using it non-stop. We even talked about all the other "gadgets" in the kitchen, and how we've got over $3K worth of kitchen stuff that we never use....this product is awesome! We've made the soups, which come out ready to serve in under 5 minutes; experimented with all natural smoothies; natural ice-cream (that took a couple of tries---lesson learned, everything must be FROZEN); and even batter mix for pancakes, ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-05-04 Summary: Amazing! I love this mixer! ... This mixer is expensive but worth it. You can put a whole orange (minus the peel) in there with some ice and juice and have an amazing, delicious and nutritious smoothie! The seeds even disappear! I have used this mixer every morning since I opened the box! ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-04-16 Summary: My blender goes to ELEVEN... ... This thing tears through ANYTHING in just seconds. Cold food is luke warm in a minute, then steaming hot in 5. It could probably be used as a mulcher, and if it cost less i would try it. This thing roars. The 2+ hp motor is ridiculously strong. It has a 7 year warranty included, comes with several cookbooks full of recipes (one of them is a whole binder full) and an instructional dvd presented by Iron Chef Michael Symon in which he takes you through several recipes and tells you many features and instructions on care. ...more
[5] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-03-31 Summary: Nothing like it ... I have owned multiple blenders and this may very well be the only one I will ever own again. After spending $100 for a blender several months ago and the seal leaking just about every time I used it I decided to stop fooling around and wasting my money. After reading the reviews and finally believing them, I bought this machine. I have used it to turn kale, berries, nuts and almost any other vegetable and fruit into smooth luxurious beverages, no seeds, no pulp. The only thing I could even consider criticizing this ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-07-07 Summary: 11 Years old Mix ... Thought I would chime in.... I first saw this product in 1976 in NYC and wanted one bad! I did not get my first one until 1979, and when I moved to Cali, my best friend sole it, I'm sure he enjoyed it! Got my current model in 1999. It fell into the sink full of dish water, TG it was not plugged in. After a week of drying out, it came back on like nothing happened. Something happened, I had to send it back, and Vita Mix had no trouble locating me as a owner with a warranty after about five years if I remember correctly. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-24 Summary: the big vita-mix ... Well, to my surprise this unit lived up to everything I had heard but thought was just hype. (especially when the hype was the county fair type ) The DVD with a real cook using it in real situations with tips and techniques that I could immediately use was big help in getting started. After a few days of use, I realized that this thing did not belong in the pantry. It is used too much to carry back and forth. After watching the DVD and the cleanup tips, I now appreciate why the blades are not detachable from the container. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-19 Summary: Perfect! ... This thing does everything they promised and more. Totally exceeded my expectations. I've been curious about Vita-Mix for years, but was always put off by the sense of "as seen on TV" I always got from their advertisements, and the fact that I never see them in retail stores (OK - and the price). Lately, though, I've started seeing them on major cooking shows and in use by the celebrity chefs so I thought I'd give it a try since I knew Amazon would take it back. All I can say is, "WOW!!". The first night I had it I ...more
