My husband uses it to make a smoothie every morning. I use it to make Mexican sauces with chilies and so forth. Easy to operate, works perfectly, looks nice in the kitchen, easy to clean. Much quieter than the Ninja we used to have. I was so happy when it broke down and we could throw it away. Would choose Vitamix again over all others.

I like this so much better than my last two Ninjas. Great variable & powerful speed, easy to use right out of the box (unlike the ridiculously complicated last Ninja I tried). Blends up frozen fruit, hard chocolate, and quick smoothies while super easy & fast to rinse clean, I love it!

I resisted buying a Vitamix for a long time. I thought it was an indulgence that I didn't need. when my very good old blender died, I replaced it with a newer model--almost worthless. it wouldn't even blend all of a banana in a smoothie. my daughter recommended a ninja, and I got one, but I hated it. the noise! that tower of blades! this vitamix, on the other hand, is the bomb. straight out of the box I used it to blend a batch of palak paneer into a sauce for topping veggie bowls. I couldn't get all the residue out of the bottom, so I threw in the last of the beans and an avocado, with some lime and spice, and hey presto, spicy avocado dip! it took no time at all to make a very smooth and creamy product with both these blends. my only question is, how do you scrape out the residue trapped in the bottom--not for cleaning, for avoiding waste--? and it is not nearly as loud as that refund Oster blender that now goes to Goodwill. I did not buy a larger more powerful model because I'm just cooking for me, but I did spring for the stainless steel blender container, and I love it! the amount of turmeric in my very first blend would have turned the plastic container yellow forever.

We mainly make smoothies, but I was interested in having something that could make nut milks, peanut butter, etc. I had an old Hamilton Beach brand blender which lasted along time, but wasn't particularly powerful. When it started to burn out I decided to get something a little nicer. I did a LOT of research. The Vitamix generally scored pretty high on all the tests, with some complaints of it being too loud, heavy, powerful??? and expensive. I decided to bite the bullet and buy one. It is loud for sure. It's heavy and big. It is super powerful. Some people complained that it's too powerful and that at high speed it creates an air pocket around the blades. Adding a little liquid usually solves that problem for me, the few times it happened. It happened once making hummus and I just used the little tamp down tool they give you to push stuff into the blades. You can just turn the power down a few steps too. I don't really see it as a problem. I'd rather have the extra power there. The fact that the blades aren't removeable makes cleaning a little harder, especially with the thick stuff, but you can usually just pour some soapy water in there and run the blades at high speed to clean them. I think my biggest complaint is that the pitcher doesn't feel very secure on the mount. Like my picture shows, you put the pitcher on the motor mount and when you turn the blades on and the torque kicks in, the whole pitcher twists on the mount. It doesn't feel totally secure. I don't think it would ever go flying off or anything. Once it twists and catches on the rubber footing underneath, it feels secure. It just seems like an odd thing that Vitamix would make a pitcher base that is a little larger than the mount it's sitting on. Unless there's some design reason for it. It just feel off. That being said, it's an amazing blender. I make smoothies with cashews, dry oats, chia seeds, etc, and with the old blender it was always a little gritty. This things blends everything 100%, no leftover bits of things in the smoothy. I made oatmilk and it was totally smooth, no bits to strain out. Maybe I could have gotten similar results with a cheaper blender? I don't regret spending the money. It feels super solid and well built.

A must
