I purchased this after my bullet died and I have to say it is so much better, faster, quieter

This was a birthday gift for my husband. He had complained that our previous blender wasn’t effective for his protein shakes/smoothies. He LOVES his Vitamix! I love the fact that it’s compact & doesn’t take up a bunch of space in a space-limited kitchen!

I bought this blender mainly because I wanted to make nice creams and frozen smoothie bowls as my old blender didn't have the power but unfortunately this blender isn't great for this either. It has the power but the narrow container doesn't leave much space to keep the frozen ingredients going so it always gets jammed and then turns off for half hour because the motor gets overheated which by the time it can go again all your ingredient are melted. So now I only have it for smoothies and soups which my old cheap blender was perfectly fine doing anyway. What a nightmare and waste of money. Very disappointing
