I was on the fence about spending this much on a blender, but I am very happy I did.The main reason for my purchase was because I wanted to make healthy smoothies/meal replacements. I had the nutri ninja bullet and it was great for protein shakes, but could not chop up ice, veggies/fruits that well and I hated holding it down to blend.
I am in college and I live alone so getting the smaller & cheaper blender made sense to me. It does the same blending that all the other models can do, but without the fancy extras such as touch screen and pre-programmed setting.
This blender was a great upgrade for me and because of how much it can do I will be taking full advantage of it.
Conclusion: If you are looking for a blender that can make small servings for only yourself or for you and a friend then look no further. While this blender is not cheap, it is the best blender you can get for this price.
-Also, I have had my Amazon account for several years and I have only written 1 or 2 reviews. My reason for this review was because I spent hours on hours looking at reviews on different blenders and could not make up my mind. I have had a wonderful experience with this product so far and I hope my review can help make someones decision a little easier for them.
HAPPY BLENDING!

I love this freaking thing. I had a nutri bullet which left my smoothies chunky and sometimes I would have to blend my drinks twice just to get it to be smooth. The price of this beast is what scared me the most but after some research and balls I made the purchase. Luckily amazon allowed me to make interest free payments. I use it everyday. My drinks come out amazing. I can even start making my own nut butters with this thing and I can’t wait. I got the 48oz because it’s just me and it makes more than enough.

I was dissappointed to find out one day, a few months into ownership that my 2 year old had bumped it off the counter and the container broke. Right at the bottom where the blades attach. I encountered two big problems here, vitamix does not offer a replacement container alone, you have to buy a package with new lid, blades, and tamper alone, this is $189!! I emailed Vitamix and explained my problem and the courteously sent me a new container, great!
However two months later, I bump the empty machine while reaching for something up high, and it fell a mere 40" to the floor and again broke the exact same way. I swear a cheap Wal-mart blender could have handled a fall like that... Anyway, I emailed Vitamix again and told them there is a design issue here and sent them a photo. They are most likely aware of this as they now offer a stainless 48oz container for the sweet price of $260.
Vitamix responded to my second complaint telling me they will offer a new plastic container for $129. My problem here is now I have 3 lids, 3 tampers, 3 sets of blades and a junk container I simply can't rely on or afford to keep replacing. In a house with little kids, things have to be durable. Not too mention all this blender down time is maddening.
I told them this, and that offer simply wasn't good enough, I suggested accidents happen but the quality surely should be better so how about 50% off a stainless container to keep me a happy customer, to which they simply have not responded.
I now have a $400 paper weight in my kitchen that after just over a year of ownership has been inoperable for a 1/3 of the time I have had it. I use my blender daily so this is infuriating. Unnacceptable in this price range in my opinion.
