Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased this without my husband knowing because I know he'd be absolutely livid with the price. But it was a bit difficult to hide on the kitchen counter top, so I went with the next best alternative - I made him a smoothie and didn't tell him the price. He was in love. (With the Vitamix blender of course!) Soon after, I was making hot soups (yum!) and eating healthier. My kids sometimes want an 'unhealthy' smoothie which is mostly fruits - still better for you than a package of Oreos! I didn't know it was possible, but my husband now uses the blender more than me. The quality is superier: the container is a thick plastic and won't break, and it blends frozen fruit chunks with ease. The consistency is perfect, as there are no tiny chunks of foods such as spinach or seeds. And... I don't know what I would do without the cleaning cycle. I eventually told him the price. He wasn't phased since he was already in love (with the Vitamix blender of course!). It's well worth the investment. Would I buy it again? YES! In fact, I did buy it again to give as a gift.
