So far, this amazing blender has produced commercial quality drinks and soups. It completely destroys ice with ease. Seriously, I've never had such creamy frozen drinks. And forget about going to the coffee shop - just DIY. Some ice, shot of expresso, your preferred milk or substitute and some caramel sauce and you'll have a yummy frappe drink. Green smoothies are also easily created and the machine does a good job of taking apart leafy items such as kale.
I want to mention, some people question the fact that this model doesn't have a speed setting, only a timer and pulse switch, but I find that hasn't been a hinderance in the various different things I've used it for. If you don't want the food completely decimated, then simply pulse it a few times, no biggie.
Finally, I have to point out the Turquoise color is very eye catching and unique. Sound wise, it is quieter than I expected although make no doubt, it's not a quiet machine. In closing, it's a big investment, but so worth it when you start cranking out restaurant quality drinks that are delicious and perfectly blended.
**Edit - 6 Month Update**
My Vitamix is still going strong 6 months in. I'm using it about 3 times a week and have not noticed any degradation in power or sharpness of blades. Now that summer is here, I'm especially enjoying it for low carb frozen margaritas! If you're interested in a tasty drink without all the sugar calories, try the below recipe, and enjoy!
Low Carb Frozen Marg
- 1.5 oz Tequila
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1/4 tsp orange extract (this is key to getting that authentic flavor)
- 1 tbsp artificial sweetener of your choice
- glassful or 2 of ice, adjust as needed
Combine ingredients in blender, blend for 15-20 seconds. Add ice if needed and blend until creamy consistency. Makes 1 drink, 2.5 carbs per serving.
