    I have had my Vitamix since 2003 and it is still going strong. The speed knob is having trouble but full throttle still works just fine. I use always use to make fruit smoothies and I loved them. Then I became a diabetic and no more fruit smoothies. Talk about spiking the blood sugar. You will not regret buying one, they are great.

    I love mine. My husband saw it demonstrated at Costco and bought it. I thought it was pretty expensive but I have
    loved it! My other blender would overheat all the time and I was worried that the motor was going to burn out. Not
    a problem with the Vitamix! I make smoothies every morning and it does a great job. You can make hot soups, hummus,
    dips and healthy sherbert, to list just a few of the things you can do with it. It also comes with a great warranty. I
    would recommend if you can afford it.

    Vitamix's are incredible! I've never regretted buying mine a few years ago.

    They're pricey, but totally worth it. If you want to save a few dollars, you can use a "promotion code" from an online affiliate like www.rawblends.com/vitamix-blender/ to get free shipping (normally $25+). They also sell refurbished ones directly from the factory ($100+ cheaper) and they still come with a 5 year warranty. You can get free shipping on those too with the coupon code.

    Thanks so much for the tip!

    I just bought the Ninja Mega System this weekend. From what I read online, it does everything the Vitamix does except heat items. In three days of using it, I absolutely love it! Makes great smoothies (whole fruit juicing) and works well as a food processor.

    This exactly.
