My husband got this for me as a gift for my birthday. I had to leave my professional series vita mix in Canada when I moved over to join my husband and had been missing it dearly. This is the perfect size for our small kitchen and it blends just like the pro series! I love that I can also blend right into my smoothie cups and the containers are also perfect size for our family of 3. Can’t wait to keep creating!

I bought my Vitamix because I wanted to be able to make green smoothies. You put spinach in a blender with ice, milk, fruit, and protein powder and it makes a delicious beverage. Other blenders work on most things, but with the Vitamix everything comes out nice and smooth, with nothing floating on the top. Also the moving parts are all steel, while other blenders use plastic for the moving parts, so they burn up.

I've used the bigger machines in the past. This one stands up pretty well. Blending with the smaller cup can be difficult with frozen ingredients as they tend to get stuck in the near the blade. So I use the bigger container and tool and then fill the smaller to go cup.
