I bought this unit before Xmas. I enjoy it and use it to make my smoothie everyday!!! Blend the fruits and veggie very well and easy to clean the cup and mug after use:)

Just received my refurbished S30 and while I have not tried it yet (I'm sure it functions well enough), I have to say that Vitamix makes no effort to sell you a clean machine. The motor was filthy. There was residue beneath the motor where the feet are, the front was dusty and the top of the motor is very scratched. Had I known how filthy, dingy and banged up these refurbs are I would have shopped for something else. Makes me want to return this one and sell off my 750 too. Very disappointing.

This is my 2nd Vitamix. I decided to replace the one we had for about 6 years or longer. This is smaller, which is a perfect size and I love the fact that it has a 'spare' cup and the blades come away which makes it easy for cleaning and also purchasing other jugs if required. My 'but' in the title relates to the lid for the jug. The lid is top heavy and gets very slippery. It twists around as I am removing it, making it sit upside down on the jug. It can also get messy and splash the smoothie everywhere. This doesn't happen with the older model. I am not sure if it is as fast as the older, larger one either. However, I do prefer the new one for the reasons stated. I still have the original model hidden in the cupboard as my husband is resistant to change!
