anybody own a vitamix substitute?

what about ricing cauliflower? I'm trying to find a way to get a single machine, rather than a blender, a food processor, and a mixer.

The blendtec takes the place of all three! Check it out at blendtec.com. It is pricey but worth it. You will never need another machine.

The Ninja is amazing. I am pretty sure I could blend rocks in it! If you watch sometimes Target offers a gift card with purchase. I bought mine for $99 but got a gift card for $20.

I have a blendtec(similar to vitamin) and it's amazing. Huge difference between a ninja' date=' magic bullet and a regular blender (I have them all!). I would recommend spending the money on the quality product. Clean up is best with a blendtec. No blade. It works with cylindrical force![/quote'] blendtec addict. Best purchase I ever made!

There are different models... is this the blentek model you all like so much? If you are making a veggie smoothie for one person, isnt that huge jar overkill? This is alot of money, but having one appliance that replaces several would get daily use at my house. easy to clean is important, blenders are a pain to clean because stuff does spill around the control panel so tedious to wipe down.

We have the Vitamix and love it. We previously killed a few of the cheaper Bullets, etc. as well as a quality blenders.

It's versatile and we are pleased with our purchase.
