So the answer to the initial question is "yes"
The Vitamix will blend a brick.
I'm so grateful I bought my appliances 10 years ago. Prices have skyrocketed
Blendtec forever
Vitamix – buy once, cry once!
There is literally no reason not to get a Vitamix. It will literally last you a life time.
Surprised no nutribullet.
I am interested! Am on my 3rd blender worth 100$ each…
My cat chewed up three seperate plastic pieces on my vitamix blender and vitamix sent me a new part for free every time. They didnt even complain when i emailed them. They were just like oh yeah cats do that sometimes, here you go. Ill always recommend vitamix for their cuatomer service alone. Quality is amazing too.
I've had my Vitamix for years and it still works great. Got a glass vessel
We use our Vitamix very regularly for years (I think 8 at this point). We love it!
Oh no I have that $50 and it’s awful
I'd like to see the difference between the vitamix and the blendtek. Blendtek is the brand jambajuice uses
Vitamix coming out on top is no surprise to any blender aficionado. They are built like tanks and backed by a great warranty.
Bullet
My only issue with blenders is cleaning, some food has strong color stain or a smell that never go
My vitamix 5200 died after the 6th use. Not even heavy duty stuff. I’ll never own another one
Minimalist? 😂😂😂
I only use a blender every now and then, so shouldn't be weighing in. But yard sales are great places to buy blenders!
You do. I've had all and eventually had to invest in the vitamix. Unfortunately you get what you pay of is true. Plus it blends wonderfully. My mom killed all 3 lower value ones by doing heavy duty blends. Trust me, it's worth it.
I use my Vitamix daily. After 10 years, right at the warranty limit in place at that time, the switch started acting up, sometimes cutting out. They repaired it for free and even sent a brand new jar.
Just buy vintage with glass pitcher and real metal body—made to last and less expensive. Works as well if not better than the high end modern machines.
I got a refurbished Vitamix. Their warranty and Customer Service are top notch unlike all the others. I had cheaper ones that broke and had limited warrantees and little in the way of customer service, and no factory service. Vitamix is made in the US too. Put up or shut up.
My vitamix is well over 7 years old, still going strong
Blendtec?
I purchased my Vitamix over 30 years ago, and it's still going strong with no problems. I love it. 💖💖💖
❤
😅
Booze is expensive. For margaritas get the best.
It is worth mentioning that Vitamix sells refurbished units so you can save a little money. I bought a refurb in 2012 and it is still going strong.
Since when does Vitamix comes with ONLY 6 years warranty?😮
Vitamix! Buy it once and it will last forever. If you plan to keep it on the counter, watch the blender jar height.
My NutriBullet does an excellent job. I wonder how it rates when comparing smoothies?
Why not say $ of Vitamix? You did for the other 3.
