Vitamix

[popsicle]

Anyone have a Vitamix or comparable blender?

Opinions please?

Big investment.

I have a Waring commercial blender and it does just fine pureeing fruit into smoothies and crushing ice for deck drinks. The Vitamix is better, but also twice as expensive and I couldn't justify the cost.

We have a vitamix. Love it. So powerful, you can make soup in it, it actually heats it up by blending ingredients.

Can put grape stems, whole strawberries, etc in it, not a lot of prep work.

Also makes excellently smooth drinks with chocolate and coconut rum....

The Vitamix blenders at the gym lasted at least 10 years +, we put them through hell too... 15-30 shakes a day... always blended them perfectly without chunks of ice or food. I'd buy one!

I have a Ninja - It crushes ice into flakes like snow in seconds. It is awsemone for Tequila slushies - the problem is finding the damn thing.
