Thread: Vitamix--I really want one!

I've heard so many positive things about the Vitamix blender that I decided I really, really NEED one badly ! You can juice fruits and veggies, make different nut butters, make soup, even makes ice cream, just to name a few things...!
It's supposedly a snap to make all these things and easy to clean too.

Anyone heard of the Vitamix or own one yourself?

They do not come cheap so I've officially started a piggy bank to save up for one.

Is the Vitamix better than the Ninja? I've been thinking about getting either one. I know the Ninja is like a food processor, blender and chopper in one, but is the Vitamix the same type of thing.
I've heard so many wonderful things about the Vitamix. They have been around for years.i remember my parents were trying to get one like 15-20 years ago.

@keyzgirl, i don't know about the Ninja. I do know Vitamix does all the things that u mentioned the Ninja does however, and then some. Almost every review i've read about the Vitamix is a positive one. Jamba Juice uses a commercial version of it.

I don't have either but I know Rachel ray uses the vitamix on her show. Looks awesome really. I have the montel and it works ok but think the vitamix would be better. I have a reg juicer (jack lalane) and it juices great but I am too lazy to wash it everyday so novelty wore off.

I got it!! I broke down and bought myself an early b-day present in the form of a Vitamix Pro 300. I've had it for a little more than a week now and have been using it 2-3 times a day. I LOVE IT! along w/my food scale, it's my favorite kitchen gadget. Been making smoothies daily, chopped up carrots in seconds for carrot cake cupcakes, and have made hummus in it. So much fun to use and so easy to clean too.

How exciting! If I was to buy a new one I would go with that one too.
