    I've had a Vitamix for 4yrs & it works like it did when I got it. I can blend ice & fruit with no liquid. It is awesome.

    I have no regrets.

    I tried using my friends blender a while ago to make a smoothie & it was such a difference. The vitamix is a lot more efficient, Especially when blending frozen foods.

    I've used a Vitamix for over two decades and they are excellent, efficient blenders - blending far better than any other blender I have ever tried.

    It is true they are also very expensive, but Vitamix now has a certified reconditioned series where you can get one for about half price and it still comes with a full manufacturer warranty.

    Also, if you use the coupon code 06-009814 you get free shipping too (another $25 value). Code is good for new AND reconditioned units.

    Don't believe the hype! I had a fancy KITCHEN-AID Blender that lasted 3 years and died! Good thing I still had my old OSTER blender that had the 1970's colors tan and gold! Still does the job after all those years. If you have $400 dollars for a VITAMIX then by all means, but a regular old fashioned blender will do the job I think.

    That's marketing junk. Please don't believe what they claim.
