Perfect for Smoothies
We owned a Vitamix many years ago. It was an extremely good product, but extremely noisy and hard to clean. My wife and son wanted to get a new one to make smoothies and milkshakes, so we purchased this one. It fits on the counter underneath the upper wall cabinets. It has plenty of power and a wonderful self cleaning mode. Vitamix just puts out a good product. I highly recommend this.

A best in class US made Blender
Expensive! But worth every penny.From soups to smoothies it does it all and is a breeze to clean due to its preprogrammed cleaning cycle.With a 10 year warranty it might might out last me 😁What’s not to like?

Amazing!!!!!
I had a Vitamix 2 series before that and I love it. Had it for over 5 years when I saw this model I didn’t think there would be many new up grades. I was wrong this machine is a beast. Also new blender cup come with plastic top instead of the rubber ones in the past where they would get discolored from chilis or just wear and tear. I highly recommend this. The power of this machine is amazing.

Top quality blender
Hands down the best blender I’ve ever owned by far. It’s not inexpensive but I feel I’m getting a superior blender, especially with all the features it has, so to me it’s worth the investment. I’m looking forward to all I will be able to do with this blender. It’s a powerful blender that has no problem getting the job done. I honestly wish I got this sooner. Also, the cleanup is one of the things I like the most. It’s certainly not the quietest blender but for me it’s not unreasonable for the power it has.

Stopped working in 1 month. The company asked me send it back for repair and incur the cost of shipping. I was aghast and spent the same my to return the product for a full refund

I’m not sure yet because I haven’t used it but right off the bat I’m not impressed at all with the tamper. It looks and feels like a kids toy. It reminds me of a kids bowling set pin. Unbelievable for a product this expensive to have a part that’s so cheaply made and looks ridiculous!
