Best thing since sliced bread
When I first heard about the vitamix I said to myself "I would never pay that much for a blender." But after trying so many other less expensive ones out on the market I finally broke down and purchased one. I absolutely love it!!! I make a green smoothie for breakfast every morning. The vitamix is so easy to use and the juice comes out nice and smooth unlike the previous blenders I had in the past. And because of how powerful it is, I have to spend a lot of time chopping up my fruit and veggies before putting it in the blender (true time saver).
If I were stuck on an island, my vitamix blender would definitely be one of the items I would bring with me :)

Life Saver!!!!
I bought it a few months ago for making green smoothed and soups for my husband who needed liquid food/nutrients to be delivered via a gastric tube after his throat surgery die to cancer. It was amazing to see how quickly he recovered and gained
strength after a few weeks of starting that. It's a wonderful and very powerful machine to liquefy and get your vegetables, fruit and many powdered/liquid supplements to your body. And you can be as creative as you want to make it nutritive and tasty as you want!!!! This machine is amazing!!! BTW my husband is completely recovered by now and is a cancer free!!!!

Awesome blender
I resisted buying a Vitamix for close to 2 years, trying to convince myself my standard blender was up to the tasks I was asking of it when I switched to a plant based diet. The cost seemed really high. I finally gave in, bit the bullet & purchased a refurbished Vitamix. All I can say is I wish I'd done it 2 years ago when I first learned about the Vitamix blender. There is absolutely no comparison between this machine & any standard blender on the market, regardless of how good a blender it is. This thing is in a class by itself. I think it would tap dance if I knew how to tell it I wanted it to do it................

Extremely sturdy and well made.
I have wanted one of these for years and finally took the step during Vitamix's amazing Black Friday sale. Getting a reconditioned product made me a little nervous until I realized that it comes with a warranty and everything else. The blender arrived quickly and looked and felt like a brand new one. The recoditioned machines don't come with the extra tools the other ones do but do come with a standard 52 ounce container, lid and tamper. I haven't needed anything else. This machine just won't quit! I've made soups, hummus, oat flour, smoothies and so many things! It's strong and very capable. Well worth the price...I'll have this machine for the rest of my life.

Absolutely love it!
I didn't think it would be possible to make most of my food from scratch due to the amount of time it takes prepare fresh foods but this tool has made it possible. It's wonderful to make your own whipped cream, butter, peanut butter, hummus, vinaigrettes, sauces (hollandaise for eggs benedict), etc because you know exactly what is inside your recipe and it takes out the work when creating anything. It's a great multi use tool in the kitchen by eliminating some specific use tools such as an ice cream maker so I have more space in my tiny kitchen. Also makes recipe preparation fast and easy and the best part? Cleaning is incredibly simple!

Exceptional!
Let me just say this: WOW! My family watched numerous times as the Vitamix was demonstrated at our local Whole Foods but could not find a way to fit it into our budget. Then a friend told me about Vitamix's own reconditioned units and we decided to try one. All I can say is I wish I had known about this sooner! The unit looks new, acts new and has become an integral part of our daily food preparation and consumption. I can make smoothies with vegetables and fruits that my kids love. My wife uses the unit to prep food and make amazing soups, hummus, and more. I actually find myself discussing the Vitamix with friends and people at work! The price is good and you just can't beat that warranty!

Excellent product!
We have used our Vitamix for a couple months now and really like it. Don't call this a blender though. It will blend but it is so much more than that. This thing is SERIOUSLY strong. It pulverizes the fruit, veg, seeds, just about anything you put in it. Also, don't be confused, this is not a "juicer" it does not separate the fiber from the juice (we wanted the pulp and fiber) but some may not realize the difference. If you want just pure juice, find a quality juicer. The fiber and pulp have desirable benefits though. We love it. Read all the directions when you get it. Really.. read them. Don't ruin your awesome new Vitamix doing something silly. Enjoy!!

If you're on the fence, buy this one!
I was in the market for a blender as I wanted to start to eat better, more fruits and vegetables in the diet. I finally settled on a reconditioned Vitamix as I could not justify spending the additional $200 for a newer one in my budget. If you can, you should wait until Black Friday when these actually go on sale, making it a great deal.
I typically use my blender for making smoothies. I have made a soup or two, and yes it does get hot! It really does blend everything to a consistency you just can't get with other less expensive blenders.
Overall you can't beat the value of the certified conditioned. If you really want a Vitamix, but think the new price tag is a little too much, buy this one! You won't regret it.
