Top Kitchen Tool – I bought the Vitamix back in 2015 because the Vitamix had the capacity to blend foods, without nutritional waste. For example, blitzing fruit without losing the fibre by spitting out skins etc or being too chunky and difficult to enjoy. A member of the family was unwell and this feature alone was a godsend, contributing to healthy… Read more · 1
eating/drinking. The machine has been invaluable to us FOR THIS REASON ALONE. Now, we are acai bowl officiandos, smoothie and ice-cream makers extraordinaire. Bring on summer! The machine is really powerful. While expensive (it has been a worthwhile investment for us). At this price, you do need to treat it respectfully and follow instructions. We would not what to live without ours because we take advantage of its features. I still use a kitchen whizz for other things, eg pesto as I find the Vita Mix makes it too fine and the jug , being large, needs a lot of ingredients to blitz, so not so great for a little serve of pesto, for example. Last year, a part in the Vitamix went. Vitamix on-line service had the machine collected the next morning, repaired and returned without question. I have never received such service in my entire life. I am still amazed when I think about a company living up to its guarantees.
Perfect Machine so simple to use – I have now had my Vitamix for just over 4 years. I did my Online Research in US, UK & Australia it was the number 1 Machine sold in USA & UK. I spoke with Saleswoman in our large Dept Stores they told me they too had done their Online Research prior to the buying their Vitamix. The company is still owned by the the same Family who’s ancestor… Read more
created the first Vitamix many many years ago. (USA)
One woman wrote (USA) she gave her 15 yr old machine to her son she wanted the latest model the old one was still working.
Unfortunately us poor Ozzie people have to pay a lot more for a Smartphone, Laptop, Cars, Designer Clothes & Accesssories etc in comparison to the USA.
Vitamix in USA sells for about half the price we pay.. I always prefer to pay more for an excellent Product than by a cheap one that can’t last the distance.
The old saying, you only get what you pay for........
To me the Vitamix is the Audi or Mercedes or even the Bugatti of Juicers & it is so versatile check out the web it is amazing what this machine can do & so fast.....
It is unbelivablynversatile the latest models are incredible they have kept up with Technology.
I use my Red machine 365 days a year.
There are Online Australian Companies that sell Vitamix they have Specials from time to time & FREE
Delivery in Australia.
Good quality, strong but noisy and expensive for what it is – We have had this about 7 years. Twice it has stopped itself due to being overworked (dough! d'oh! don't try it - use a food processor with chopping blade to make great dough!) but then luckily when it cooled down it started again fine. We have the dry and wet jug, both are really handy and for us at least, the dry jug is worth the extra… Read more
investment. It definitely does a better job of things like spices, but it is also great to have a (literally) dry jug on hand to grind up dry things when the other is wet and fine things like chia seeds would just get stuck everywhere.
The wet jug is plastic and it did get crazed after a few years of making boiling hot cashew chai in it (12 cashews/2 dates/250ml hot or cold water or tea, cacao powder and chai spices from an Indian grocer),so it looked a bit crappy, also turmeric can stain it.
We had to replace a jug we broke (our own stupidity, these things are really pretty tough)..not cheap at $100 or so...that is not including blades, so if you do need to replace make sure you don't throw out the blades!! Oh and periodically please check the nut is tight that is holding the blades on..it need to be tool tight, no just finger tight!
Verdict...we love it, we use it ALL the time, and will always have a high powered blender in our kitchen. Whether our next one will be this brand, not so sure. Dad bought an Omniblend just after us...it operates more quietly, has an auto off function and was much cheaper...and is still going strong...much to his gloating!
We wear ear muffs when operating it, industrial deafness is real and it is worth avoiding.

very powerful blender – it's a very powerful blender which can even blend peanut into peanut butter. it can make nice smoothies or soups. but you better make a big amount each time. it's not very good at making small patches. Show details · 1
Every day and every way! – We use our Vitamix at least four to five times every single day. We had smoothies, dips, pancakes, soups, pestos, nut milks, cocktails... the list goes on! We even purchased the dry mix to mill our almond meal, buckwheat flour and gluten free flour recipes. We've replaced the lid and bowl once now and we've owned it for over five years! Best purchase ever! Show details · 1
A very good blender with a lot of power – I am very happy with my purchase of a Vitamix blender. It has been a very versatile kitchen tool that has many practical applications. Wether you like to drink smoothies, prepare soups, or produce sauces or condiments, you are covered by a Vitamix blender. Show details · 1
Best and most powerful one I have ever used – The Vitamix has been a staple in our kitchen for a few years now. Not only is it extremely powerful (better than any others I have used), but it is easy to clean, easy to use and very versatile depending on what you are using it for. My kitchen would not be the same without it, and it has helped me restore my health after a long term chronic illness, with ease. Show details · 1
I love my vitamix – It is so easy to use and clean and I love it. I am a health freak and during the week I have a smoothie every morning. It takes just a couple of minutes to clean it and the brush is great. but sometimes I put the gadget in the dishwasher. I have no idea what you call it the grinder but it states that it is dishwasher proof the actual container is… Read more · 2
not. I read somewhere that if you have soapy water and you put it on your plants it will keep mosquitoes away - I am not sure if this works because I hate mosquitoes and use other things too. But at least my plants get water with the soapy cold water.
I'm still having to go to my trusty Russell Hobbs – I have had my Vitamix for a good 8 months now. I thought I'd never have to use another machine once I bought it. but unfortunately it frustrates me when I need to blend things such as pestos or other such sauces. I find that I have to double all the ingredients to get a good blend. I find that the jug is just too big at the base for it to blend… Read more
effectively. after spending big money I don't really want to fork out more money to buy smaller appliances to do these sauces. So I'm using my little Russell Hobbs blender that I have had for years and only really using the Vitamix for smoothies!
Better and better – Had my Vitamix for 2 years and I am even more impressed with it. Apart from the obvious juices, smoothies, soups, blending functions it will make icing sugar from white sugar, sorbets, shaved ice, hummus, breadcrumbs and the list goes on. Use the stick to keep the food at the bottom to keep the mixture revolving. Show details · 1
Fantastic Vitamix – I purchased my vitamix 10 years ago for healthy eating. I uses it every day, it’s so easy to use, fantastic. So easy to clean. Looks attractive. I don’t think we will wear it out. It has never had an issue. I love it and totally recommend buying a Vitamix blended. Great for smoothies and or pre blending soup ready yo cook. Show details · 1

Love It! – love my vitamix! super powerful, super easy to clean very happy with it. It is loud however it's only on for a short amount of time so completely fine. would definitely recommend. Show details
Blitz anything into tiny pieces – Wow, this thing has power. You could probably feed it your broom handle and make a milkshake out of that! I use it to make nut and seed milks. Works very well. Normally, I use a muslin cloth to sieve out the nut solids to get smooth milk, but with this machine, it's so small, it makes it creamy and adds volume to the milk. Also, if I let it… Read more
settle a bit to the bottom, I can pour it and leave the heavier parts at the bottom. We reuse the nut parts in porridge and cake mixes. We've even put an avocado pip as we heard it's supposed to be good for you. Tasted a bit nutty but not sure we'd do it regularly, but it was smooth and creamy in the Vitamix. Good stuff!
I love my Vitamix!! – Insane. The things this blender can do. Have had it for 6 months and use it daily. Strong, durable, easy to clean. This blender is worth every penny. It does, however, sound like a jet is landing in your kitchen, but again it is worth it. Show details
Great Value! – Well worth the cost! And the reconditioned model seems exactly like my new out of the box two speed model. I can't believe it! I am always so wary of reconditioned products, but it works great! I've had my two speed for a couple of years, this one is even better! If you've been eating smoothies without this, you are missing out. My favorite is to… Read more
make green smoothies with spinach and kale! They get pretty smooth considered all the greens I put in them! This handles ice like nothing else. Well worth the extra cost when you make smoothies.
Great machine! – So happy with my Vitamix! Ads and claims are not misleading: it really does a great job and allowed me to finally get my daily fruit and veg intake very easily. When you’re not too good at consuming fruits ts and greens like me, this is a very convenient way of preparing them! Plus it’s obviously a very good and powerful “normal” blender for all the rest.

Don`t see the overpriced hype – I expected with the other reviews talking about the horsepower and high speed capabilities that my machine would handle at least what my 50.00 oster has handled for a decade.I was wrong about that ,the vitamix would shut off in the middle of simple blending tasks like blending frosen fruit or hummus.I followed the proper layering technique but… Read more
still constantly shut off,very annoying when under time constraints.This aspect alone made me take back the very expensive machine and purchase something less expensive and happy I did.Unless your looking for some overpriced status symbol that needs constant babysitting get a cheaper basic blender.
Best toy ever! – Best kitchen tool l have ever bought. I use up every vegetable or fruit scrap, nothing is wasted. At times if l don't follow instructions it does not blend well but a poke with the prodder and all is good again. Absolute top quality. My family is healthier now because of this great tool. Thanks!

It great product but over priced – I am satisfied with the blending of this product but the consistency of the end product of vegetables when blended ,I thought would be more liquid. I would have liked it to be more stable when in use ! When your using it ,it's not locked in. A bit noisy. Show details
Love this! Use it everyday – We use our Vitamix everyday. Its blending ability is the best ive seen, It will blend anything! It is sturdy and powerful. We use it for smoothies, frozen banana icecream, soups, peanut butter, grinding coffee beans etc. At high speed it is quite loud but that is to be expected with the powerful motor. Its very easy to use and clean. Show details

Best blender ever! – Upgraded to this beauty at the start of the year and it revolutionalised my life! You can use this for a huge variety of stuff as it is so powerful! Bit of a price tag compared to other blenders, but once you make the commitment you will be so pleased! I use it pretty much every day - love it! Show details
Satisfied-only not quite suitable for meat – I have been using this product for years, mostly to make smoothies or soup. There is no doubt that Vitamix can blend fruit and vegetables into very smooth texture. There is only one small flaw when I tried to use this product to make baby food by blending cooked beef or chicken into puree, the blades are so powerful and it turned out the meat doesn't taste so good after turned into juice.

Best Investment - You Won’t Regret It – Totally satisfied with my machine’s blending ability - exceeds my expectations. It handles all blending tasks. I also use my blender to make icing sugar from caster sugar, almond milk and soups. This is such a reliable blender. It is Noisy but you can purchase ear muffs to wear while operating the blender. The recipe book is fantastic and all… Read more
meals I have prepared from it are delicious.
I use mine everyday and wash jug the dishwasher.
Not able to fully replace a food processor but can do the odd food processor task.
You won’t regret this purchase.
Use it everyday – I’ve had my blender for a 5 years and it’s still going strong. I use it everyday mainly for smoothies. Blending things like nuts is not a problem for this machine. I use it also to blend soups etc. I love it! Show details
Great blender – The vitamix blender is excellent. It always blends your smoothies so well leaving no chunks of fruit behind. It is also great for anything , you can mix dry ingredients and pretty much everything! Show details
Excellent customer service – I use my Vitamix blender daily and it has been an excellent product with no faults so far. I highly appreciate the superior customer service that I experienced over the phone today. My enquiry was dealt with promptly with a calm and friendly attitude. With many thanks, Luna Show details
Best blender ever – I have gone through many blender from blendtec, magic billet etc, never had any issues with the Vitamix. I use the dry grinder as well as the wet. Excellent for soups, flours , smoothies and the list goes on. the only drawback is the noise. Show details
Blends without missing a beat! – This blender is perfect for soups and smoothies, it blends to a far smoother consistency than anything I have used. Its also great for processing seeds, nuts and breadcrumbs. It’s super easy to use and easy to clean. The only downside is when making thicker things, like dips and nut butters it is a bit hard to get all the mix out of the blender due to the blades and ridges in the jug. Show details
Great blender – After our old blender broke down, we needed a new one, A friend recommended to me and i researched it and it was exactly what we needed. It can blend anything very well and is easy to clean. Show details
good product – Use this at work, it is a great product only issue is if using frozen fruits and/ or ice, you have to pick blender up and shake then double blend Show details
Worth the price if you use it daily – Have been using our Vitamix for almost two years primarily to make a green smoothie every morning. It easily handles a whole jug of hard to blend items like kale, celery and seeds - and excels at this - breakfast in under 30seconds. Worlds apart from the cheapie we started out with. The build quality is evident, fan cooled motor, rarely clogs, and… Read more
so well designed the blades aren't even sharp, so can't get blunt. Yes it's noisy which is fine. Not a fan of the rubber lid locking system but surely it will last. Not for the dishwasher, but a quick zap with soapy water and you are done. Long 7 year warranty is good piece of mind at this price point, and you know they'll be around if you need a repair or parts.
