Love it!
"I bought a different blender that was compared to the VitaMix and had good reviews. In my opinion the other blender cannot compare to the VitaMix. I highly recommend the VitaMix to anyone who asks."

Best Purchase Ever
"My husband purchased a similar vitamix model in 1980's. It looks a little different, but is a vitamix product. This thing is over 30 years old and is still making the perfect smoothies!! The blades are sharp as ever. I would highly recommend this product."

Pro Kitchen Tool for Home
"LOVE my Vitamix! We registered for this for our wedding and were lucky enough to get enough gift certificates to purchase this - the 10% completion discount made this a GREAT deal.
I knew most of the things the machine was capable of - but I had no idea you could make soups start to finish (hot and ready to serve!) or dessert (frozen treats!). Clean up is simple and quick. The recipe book (and we're not talking flimsy paper pamphlet) is amazing, sturdy, and something that will sit proudly with my other cook books.
It may be more expensive than other manufacturers, but as my mom would say: "You get what you pay for". Friends that have purchased less expensive models (like the Ninja) consider their purchases a total waste of money and have total Vitamix-envy. :)
Consider the Vitamix an investment in eating better, easier, & quicker. It's a tool you will be able to depend on for years. Looking forward to all of the new crazy concoctions to come out of my kitchen!"

"Shopping at Crate & Barrel for years, I've made a lot of purchases, but none to compare with the Vitamix Professional Blender. I throw whole oranges, limes, lemons, apples into the blender and within seconds I have a smooth - no pulp - smoothie! I have so enjoyed the Vitamix product that I've begun shopping just for the recipies found in the accompanying cookbook. I cannot say enough good things about making this purchase. Whether for heavy duty cooking or just for fun, this tool gets a work-out multiple times each day! You will be amazed by it's versatility and ease of clean up. I absoutely LOVE my Vitamix!"

Worth the investment
"The Vitamix is everything they say it is. I love it and use it multiple times a day. It is an investment, but people say they last years. I was spending $150 every 2 years for a blander that was not anywhere near as great as this one."

Awesome blender
"My mother-in-law had an older model Vitamix and I eventually decided to get one myself. Over the years I had suffered with the usual inferior blenders which bound up, etc.... The Vitamix is very powerful and effortlessly blends and mixes everything. I'm a big fan of foam and it's very easy to make smoothies this way. Salad dressing emulsions also get better body this way, too."
