summerset 5,265 Posted February 26, 2017 I have a VitaMix blender since years. I don't think that you need a blender that is as expensive as the VitaMix for as little as a few weeks. If you're planning to continue using it I'd highly recommend it. 2 brooklyn42 and TammyLee66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanucKnucklehead 22 Posted February 26, 2017 I have had one for a few years and use it almost daily. I love it, but if it's just something you need for a couple of months, there are much cheaper options out there that will do the job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Berry78 4,261 Posted February 26, 2017 I have one, and although is does blend super smoothly, there are irritating things about it. I was thinking of trying out a different brand, if I can scrape together the dough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tataworld605 30 Posted February 27, 2017 I have a vitamix and I love it, I haven't yet made any soups.but I'm sure it's going to come into handy soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MeltsIntoWonder 125 Posted March 1, 2017 I have a Vitamix, and I absolutely LOVE it! They are pricey for sure, but if you can swing it, it's totally worth the cost. I've seen them at costco lately for a good price, and you can also buy refurbished ones directly from Vitamix. A friend of mine did that, and hers looks and works just like new, and she saved a ton of money. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't haul mine out for the powder shakes either, but I use it for smoothies, Soups, and salsa. I have also used it to make my own almond butter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TracyBar 132 Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) Hi - we just bought one last weekend. We were thinking of buying it, and while at costco Vitamix was there demonstrating. We got the newest model ($600. Canadian). Before we invested that much $ in it we discussed how much we'd use it and for what. For me, it'll be handy as I cannot have sugar alcohols so will likely be steering away from processed, flavoured Protein mixes. I want to try to make my own so I'm getting the Vitamins from real food. I also get very nauseous from Calcium, and although my clinic insists I MUST take it - being so sick daily isn't a great option. So again, I'll need to get as much as possible from food. My husband and I also think it's a great way to sneak veggies into out 11 year old daughter via smoothies :-) Edited March 2, 2017 by TracyBar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
