Pros

Smarty Pants - The variable blend setting automatically adjusts its speed based on what you've put into the blender
Built to Last - Vita-Mix is used by famed commercial smoothie joints and restaurants all over the world to whip up constant and regular purees, blends and juices. With a 7 year warranty, you have peace of mind that this isn't an ill-advised investment
Easy to Clean - In said restaurants, you can't stop to take your blender apart to clean. The blade unit is attached to the blend jar, so all you need to do to clean is add soap, water and run the blender on high. It's a snap!

Cons

It's Expensive - No joke, this is a lot of money to shell out if you only blend the occasional margarita
It's Heavy - You likely won't want to port your blender around the kitchen, but know that the heavy duty motor means the base of this unit has heavy duty heft
No Pour-Top - A minor gripe, but many blenders have a pour-top lid. Not so with the Vita-Mix - you have to take the lid off

How it Works

For complete operating instructions, including recipes for making delicious blended juices and smoothies, please view the included DVD or use the printed user guide.

Care
Fill container with water and a drop or two of dishwashing detergent, place back on base, secure the top and then run to clean. No need to remove blade assembly for cleaning - eliminating lost parts and reassembly frustration.

Features & Accessories
Commercial-grade components make this blender the last one you'll ever purchase:
