I love my VitaMix. I’ve used it for years. I am blend crazy and nothing blends, mixes, or purees like my VitaMix. I make soups, smoothies, and green drinks daily and I make fruit sauces for my gluten-free waffles. I am on a mission to figure out ways for my VitaMix to do everything. So far it hasn’t cleaned the kitchen… Honestly, I couldn’t recommend a machine more highly.
