Vitamix also creates a downward vortex like most every blender. Their dry grains container pushes grains up the sides to facilitate more efficient grinding. If you are looking for a Vitamix deal you can get a Reconditioned Vitamix for $329 for a limited time.

Costco demo demonstrated the blendtec single blunt blade design creates a vortex sucking the ingredients down to be blended while the Vitamix shoots it upward. Advantage Blendtec I guess but does it make a difference.

Sounds like you need to cut vegtables into smaller pieces for the Blendtec – Advantage Vitamix

80 years of good reputation and customer service – Advantage Vitamix

Blendtec appears to aesthetically fit better into a home – Advantage Blendtec.

Blendtec on sale at Costco for $349.99- Advantage Blendtec and ultimately my decision maker unless Vitamix can match it.

Is it quieter at least? Their website touts that the new one is not as loud.

Comment on Vitamix Creations Elite – New Generation Vitamix, is it worth it? by Got Greens

Yes. Like all Vitamix blenders, this one can grind grains. The special dry grains container is not necessary, but helpful if doing lots of dry grinding. You can see more information Vitamix Dry Blending

No need to worry. Coffee drinks are a breeze with a VM. I research continually before I buy and money is really no object for me. EX. I have a $1,300 Quick Mill Vetrano Expresso machine so I like coffee drinks. Starbucks uses Vita-mix too. Enough said.

Wow – I will be thinking differently of kiwis from now on. I had no idea they had such benefits.

Comment on Week 1: 14-Day Green Smoothie Challenge by Got Greens

It is indeed refreshing. See if you can get frozen cranberries – they work great. If you use dried ones, be sure to soak them well before blending.

This sounds very refreshing. I’m going to make a variation of this soon. We can’t get fresh cranberries here but could use dried ones. Many thanks

Well I purchased a new Vitamix about a month ago and started using it to blend fruits and then some salsa & spaghetti type recipes. A few times now it’s overheated and turned itself off! My concern is that I didn’t run it that long maybe 15 minutes of on & off while I added stuff and tasted. I went back over the manual and it states that I shoulduse their recipes accordingly until i become familiar with the machine! WHAT!!! I don’t get it. I need a food processor to blend/process not to tell me what /how to make it and for how long! Any imput? Is this a common problem?

Did any of you read about the Lawsuit where Vita mix used,(copied) Blend techs Design? Lets just say the Lawsuit wasn’t even close and blendtech WON! To me that says a lot in a Company that has to steal Ideas. Just because of this I’m leaning towards Blend-tech, Obviously Vitamix thought Blend-techs ideas were better.

Great comparison! I want to make puddings and ice creams and nut butters too.
There is quite a difference in price if I want to be able to do everything in a Blendtec that the Vitamix can do. The Vitamix @ $450 compared to the Blendtec @ $560 with the Twister jar (@600 with the Wildside and Twister jars). I’m going with the Vitamix thank you.

Sea Buckthorn IS the new super fruit! With all the omegas, a ton of vitamins and minerals, and unbelievable anti-inflammatory properties, it is truly a miracle fruit. It is even an anti-aging marvel with its unique and vast amount of strong anti-oxidants.

Comment on QVC Vitamix Creations II /GC Review – “No Thanks” by Jim Walsh

I just received my Vitamix, however, included was less than a postcard-size info sheet providing information about the “old cap” and “new” cap so I called you, and was transferred 7 times before I was finally transferred to “Chia”. She seemed to have an answer before I asked, she is very professional, informative and I felt that you should know that she is an asset to your business.

Thankyou

We are a Vita Mix Family! One of the five Vita Mix blenders we own has been handed down and still runs after 30 years! My girls love theirs and they make everything from hot soup to ice cream. My husband makes healthy flaxseed shakes and the flaxseeds are ground so fine you dont know they are there. Even the tiny strawberry seeds and apple cores are ground up fine. Got a couple at a homeshow, but the best deal was my daughter’s which we got on In the Kitchen with David on QVC home shopping. Great price and free extras including stainless steel travel mugs and cookbook were included! Best quality of anything I have ever purchased!

Our family has five Vita Mix blenders! One is over 30 (Yes I said 30!!) years old and still runs like a top!That one is all stainless steel and it was in the family before I got it! My girls love theirs and make everything from hot soup to ice cream. My husband makes super healthy flaxseed shakes and it grinds up the flaxseed so fine you dont even know they are in there. With strawberries the tiny seeds grind up fine also. No grit..Super Smooth! We use it several times a day and Love it! Even grinds up apple cores which has more vitamins and fiber. Bought some at homeshows and some on In the Kitchen with David on QVC home shopping on tv. You can go to qvc.com. We got best deal on QVC with extras like travel mugs and cookbooks included. We have been loyal for over 30 years and wouldn’t use anything else. We Love Vitamix!!
