Has anyone tried out the Vitamix?. I’m thinking about getting a Vitamix. I have heard so many good things about it, I’m wondering if anyone here has one or has ever used one?
I use my blender/food processor several times a day for various things. Lately, I’ve started to make my own nut butters, which can be really tough on my Cuisinart. I’ve also heard you can knead dough, grind grains, and make hot/cold food with the Vitamix.
I’m wondering if it’s worth the $500, or is it just hype?





I want one. and I do know a few people that have them. It is much more powerful than a regular blender, and you can make hot foods. I am not sure it is worth having both a blender and a vitamixer, you only need one, but for me I would want the vitamixer. In fact I am hoping I am getting one for my birthday… I know not an exciting present but I want it!!!!
It is good to make ‘juices’ without removig the pulp because it can liquify it real well, something a regular blender cant do as well most of the time- especially with certain fruits and veggies.
Nut butter would not be a problem with it.
Vitamix. It’s worth it in my opinion. We have an older one and it’s awesome. No comparison to a blender.
Is it the blade or the RPM?. What makes it better?
the motor. is much stronger. think of a weedwacker vs industrial lawnmower.
