Former Vita Mix Dealer says...: Good for Some Things Not for Others

Date of Review:  Sep 10, 2000
The Bottom Line: Although this machine is very useful, it doesn't do all of the jobs advertised as well as I expected. However, there are many good uses for this machine.
Review: SHOULD I OR SHOULDN'T I?

I have debated on whether or not to give my opinion on the Vita Mix. You see, I have been involved with the Vita Mix Company for about 13 or 14 years now.


WHY DID WE GET A VITA MIX?

My Dream Blender, and much more. Only one appliance on my kitchen counter.

Date of Review:  Feb 17, 2001
The Bottom Line: This is a MUST have machine. You cant go wrong with it. It is one of the best decisions I ever made.
Review: I Finally got my dream blender. It took along time but I finally have a Vita-Mix. I know that this machine will outlast any other kitchen appliance I own. This machine has replaced my juicer, food processor, ice cream maker, and blender, to name...

VITA MIX BLENDER: Simply an amazing machine!!

Date of Review:  Aug 15, 2000
Review: Simply an amazing machine

My new vita mix joined the rest of my appliance family early this month. I researched this purchase for over six months. I started asking on cooking message boards and health related message boards for advice in...

To buy or not to buy???

Date of Review:  Nov 29, 2000
The Bottom Line: If you need all of the features this model has it is well worth the price and has a 7 year warranty.
Review: You have probably seen the Vitamix at County Fairs or Home shows. That's where I saw my first one and fell in love with it! I have owned a Vitamix for almost 20 years. It is probably the most heavy duty blender/appliance on the market today.

Clean Up Kitchen Clutter Now!

Date of Review:  Apr 1, 2000
Review: Lets face it, the American kitchen has become a complicated barrage of kitchen appliance must-have-its. Kitchen countertops are so full with microwaves, toaster ovens, electrical can openers, blenders, juicers, bread machines, and coffee pots. If...

The $500 Blender

Date of Review:  Feb 13, 2000
Review: The Vita-Mix 5000 is one powerful, jet-screamin?, versatile machine. And before you dismiss this machine because of its price, consider the fact that it juices, frappes, blends, crushes, grinds, cooks, purees, whips, mills, kneads, mixes, minces,...

The Blender of All Blenders... The Grand Daddy of Blenders

Date of Review:  Jan 24, 2002
The Bottom Line: I would definitely recommend this blender to anyone who likes to cook or just have frozen drinks. It is unstoppable!!
Review: The Vita Mix 5000 has to be the very best investment that anyone who spends a lot of time in the kitchen can make. I bought this blender not knowing half of what it could do. I wanted it just because I saw the demonstrator make some soft serve ice...

VitaMix - Hard to find & Expensive, but what a treasure!

Date of Review:  Oct 18, 1999
Review: I had been coveting a VitaMix machine (blender) for years. I wanted one, but was turned off by the high price. ($300+) Vita Mix is a VERY HIGH powered blender.

They are promoted as doing everything... juicing, cooking, freezing, grinding,...

Worth every penny

Date of Review:  Oct 3, 2003
The Bottom Line: Serious about cooking and about health for you and your family? The Vita-Mix is the machine for you. The Vita-Mix helps you get more healthy whole foods in your diet.
Review: We have had a Vita-Mix 5000 for several years now. I guess I am one of those who are of the opinion that only the best is good enough, or that having something that does MORE than you really need it to is better than having something that just does...

What a blender should be

Date of Review:  Jul 24, 2004
The Bottom Line: Highly recommended
Review: I've had this for a few months and love it. I use it almost every day to make soups, vegetable and fruit drinks, and sometimes bread. It's easy to use, well designed, easy to clean and is far more capable than any of the numerous ordinary blenders...
