I wish I had had my money back as I rarely use it.  My old Oster blender would do everything I need to do.

My 35 yr old glass blender doesn’t crush ice
It’s time for a new one so I decided to go big
Just wondering the difference between this model and others

Costco least expensive is 399 and has same power and speeds
My mashed cauliflower won’t get stuck in blender any more

I happen to like my Vitamix a lot. Bought it as a TSV and use it everyday. It’s worked well for my husband and I.

I had to have one, bought one from Costco.  A number of years ago we went through the protein smoothie phase, so it was used often in the beginning.  Nowadays it's rare, maybe a couple times a year, but ther it sits, taking up counter space.  I'd love to sell it, if I could.

We have had one more than 10 years and would hate to be without it.  I used it this morning to make gazpacho.  It was wonderful!

 

We use it all the time, and not often for smoothies but for chopping, soups, sauces, dressings, and all sorts of things.

I bought one years ago and if you use it, it's worth it's weight in gold and then some.

We bought ours about 15 years ago and use it all the time. It's dying out though now and doesn't crush the ice like it used to. Perhaps a new one is in order, but I would check out Costco too.
