Wow! Clear, understandable, and exactly the kind of information I was looking for after recently purchasing a Vitamix for the first time! Thank you soooo much!
One of the best channels!
OMG, I have had my Vitamix for over 20 years and I never knew the lid was 1/4 cup 2oz measure.
I love my Vitamix, best kitchen appliance ever, maybe aside my Induction Hob. If you don't have these, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
Hi, thank you for your tips about using the Vitamix. I have the older version and I am never sure when to use the variable speed and high speeds as my machine has 2 different setting and numbers from 1 to 10
does the sugar scratch the container and become contaminated with microplastics? or is the container glass?
So the scrapes the hard ingredients cause will with more reason will release microplastics into our food. …. ?
Thank you so much for the tips! I haven't bought a Vitamix yet and am trying to figure out which one I want and what I can afford.
Such a clear and helpful video – the time flew by and I learned a lot about my Vitamix! Thank you!
Why do you say liquid first and then at the end you add a banana first and then the milk?
Where did you find the utensil you showed us?
but i dont have this one
Hello how do remove and replace the blades ?
love my vitamix that is compatible with a food processor
Thank you for sharing.
For the quantity matters sections: How do you know how much is enough to work in this size container? That’s the size I have which I think is 64 oz and sometimes I have tried to make hummus or blend cashews and realized too late that it wasn’t enough and it looked just like in the video. Anyone have experience to know what amount is usually safe? For my water soaked cashews it’s seeming anything under 1.5 cups is too little and that is cutting it close if I don’t add anything to it. Also like making açaí bowls I have to make a massive amount for it to blend. So basically I should get a smaller container probably because it’s a pain.
Thanks, that was all really helpful – hopefully I will have more luck blending properly now without everything getting stuck 😀 Thanks for taking the time to do the video 🙂

OH NO! don't forget to add your liquids first because if you don't, your liquids will just float in mid-air above your other ingredients! shoot! (moronic)
Does cleaning with warm water and soap also work for nut butters and other oily elements? Also which vitamix blender do you use in the video?
I think I may have a problem with the left button of my vitamix A3500i:
It is suppose to be a super mixer, but the speed is exactly the same as the normal 10 speed. Has someone the same issue? Thanks for helping…I bought my A3500i on a regular website on internet and no help is made from vitamix…
I'm super dissapointed…
Great tips and hacks, thank you. I just bought the Vitamix E310 Explorian Blender, Professional-Grade, 48 oz, but I'm not sure I got the correct container that matches the base. Does your container fall off if you flip it upside down, is that normal?
Love my Vitamix. I would be lost without it as I used it almost every other day for something.
I love my vitamix
Great presentation. Very helpful.
gold video

QVC is selling almost identical to this for $250 (incl a $20 coupon!).. just got one myself and wanted to share the news!
I love my Vitamix!! I’ve had it for 17yrs ago and it’s still going strong!!!
Did not know, Vitamix has wet and dry blenders.
When I clean my Vitamix 7500 the water becomes very dirty. How to fix it?
How can I find the cups or smaller containers for the a2300
Where best place to buy this units at
Thank you for this Vitamix training, like you mentioned, I am intimidated by my vitamix.
Lisa can you please show how should the arrows fit for auto detection of Vitamix accessories Thank you
New sub!
👍👍👍👍👍thank You Very much and Appreciate for the video Very Helpful 👍👍
Would be nice knowing how to put the lid on without catastrophic results. Mine is an older model. Yours seems to slip in.
Thanks

Thank you for this video,I didn’t know how to get the white film off my vitamin container.😊
I find that there is a learning curve to using the VItamix and dont like how it moves too much when getting the 2 gears to line up.
Great presentation and wonderful tips! I just subscribed and am looking forward to widening my use of the Vitamix!
For rough stuff just use an alterna jar. I use it for turmeric and other things that would ruin my jar
How do you wash and store berries?

We paid around $400 for a Vitamix. Along came a class action lawsuit due to the blade leaving traces. Vitamix was ordered to replace the blades but never did. When I reached out to their customer service they said that ordeal was over. Really? Over for whom? Where is our replacement blade? They avoided responsibility by saying a third party was "supposed to" contact us. If one of your customers is out at risk due to your faulty product you are responsible.
Thank you for the content. I recently purchased a Vitamix for my mother. This video was very helpful.
Hello mam, I just came across your video with great useful tips. Besides, smoothie and other fruit yogurt shakes, I use it for soaked overnight rice and lentil mix. Please any idea or suggestions? Cleaning up is very annoying plus grinding into smooth paste is also not so easy. Please help.! Thanks for your help.
