Review: Perfect for Smoothies - We owned a Vitamix many years ago. It was an extremely good product, but extremely noisy and hard to clean. My wife and son wanted to get a new one to make smoothies and milkshakes, so we purchased this one. It fits on the counter underneath the upper wall cabinets. It has plenty of power and a wonderful self cleaning mode. Vitamix just puts out a good product. I highly recommend this.
Review: A best in class US made Blender - Expensive! But worth every penny. From soups to smoothies it does it all and is a breeze to clean due to its preprogrammed cleaning cycle. With a 10 year warranty it might might out last me 😁 What’s not to like?
