I can't say enough good things about the Vitamix

I've always heard great things about Vitamix, but never had the funds available to purchase one when I'd have a blender die on me

This thing is awesome.

This is the best thing I’ve done in a long time.

Must try it to appreciate the real thing

the hardest thing it was used for was partially thawed berries and crushed Sonic ice.

otherwise this thing is incredible, will absolutely liquify anything at all.

It's a device that I find myself using almost every single day, almost every meal, because the things you can make with it are cheaper than you'll buy at the store, and you'll know every ingredient that went into them.

As far as durability, I have heard nothing but good things about this

but this thing refuses to pull things down into the blade.

You can change speeds while blending and while there’s a bit of a learning curve as you adjust to just how powerful this thing is, the actual controls couldn’t be simpler or more clear to use

I'm going to go right to the bad things since something this expensive should be perfect:-
