A few years ago I swore to myself that I would never spend this much money on a blender. Well... it is worth it.
I have not explored all of the options with this amazing and SUPER powerful blender yet. So far I am making daily protein smoothies from homemade recipes. My husband is very happy about that.
My next attempt is to make "hot" soup with the Vitamix using ingredients that are not hot. My daughter is excited for us to do this soon.
I love the various settings and the heft of the base. The pitcher lifts off and is placed on easily without needing to be locked in place. There is an extra safety feature that requires you to turn the blender on using a toggle switch on the rear right-hand side. My granddaughters like to see the lights turn on when it is switched "on."
It is very loud when it is crushing large ice cubes. However, it will crush them quickly and then it is smooth and quiet. Actually, it is remarkably quiet for its power.
I had hoped that it would be powerful enough to really pulverize flax meal that I would add, but it is not. If I do not want larger chunks of flax meal in a smoothie, I need to zap that in a coffee grinder first until it is a fine powder.
Here is one of my recipes for a super-charged, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, protein boost, cherry/berry smoothie.
Alter the amounts to taste and according to the number of servings.
Fill pitcher 1/3 with ice
Add 3/4 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
Add 1 banana
Add 2 scoops of "Body Fortress" "Advanced Whey Protein" vanilla flavor*
Add 2 scoops of "Amazing Grass" "Green Superfood"
Add 3/4 cup fresh or frozen/defrosted cherries
Add 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen/defrosted strawberries
Add 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen/defrosted blueberries
Add 1-2 fresh kale leaves washed and ripped into small pieces
Add 2-3 tablespoons of honey (to taste to cut tartness of berries)
Add 2 teaspoons of Neilsen-Massey Pure Vanilla Paste
Add 1 teaspoon of Almond extract
Squeeze the contents from 1-3 "Now" Omega 3-6-9 1000 mg Essential Fatty Acid Soft Gels
Pour 1 cup unsweetened plain or vanilla flavor almond milk over contents
Pour 1 cup pure cherry juice (you can get it at places like Trader Joes) over contents
Place lid on - turn on - set to snowflake
PULSE
It will be really loud for a few second until the ice is broken up. Let it continue blending until you see all ingredients mixed thoroughly- then give it another zap or two, just to be sure. Taste, pour, and enjoy.
This make 4 large servings in a full pitcher and has a good amount of protein, and almost a daily dose of fruits and vegetables.
My granddaughters do not know that they are drinking their greens, kale, flax seed, or essential fatty acids (high Omega). They only know it tastes wonderful. The cherry versus strawberry lends to the sweeter taste and is higher in anti-inflammatory properties.
*I like this protein power because it mixes well, tastes good without any chemical tastes, and has some of the highest protein to calorie and fat ratio I can find, particularly for the money. Vanilla is always a good best because it can even go with chocolate.
Try my smoothie out and let me know if it worked for you. :)
Update June 8, 2015: I have now made hot soup from room temperature ingredients. Easy! Last night I took frozen strawberries rinsed then off and made stawberry Bellinies with a tad of simple syrup (previously made with Stevia), a bit of Chambord and a sparkling brut. They were the hit of our neighborhood GofT night. This machine can do anything!

Awesome Product, Forever Tough.
I was making my daily kale, collard, beet green, parsley, and blueberry smoothie, and yes is tastes as bad as it sounds, at least at first. While it was mixing I realized I had not reviewed how good the old Vitamix 750 is. I say old since I bought this back in mid 2014 and have used it on so many different things, I couldn't mention them all on this review. As mentioned I make smoothie/green goo that doesn't taste the best which is how I know it's good for me. Anyway I freeze my vegetables to keep them longer and allow me to buy in bulk or I just save the garden veggies the same way. I literally crack some off, and they go from frozen shards direct from the freezer, to slurry, to smoothie in about 45 seconds and I've been doing this for years without any different sounds and consistent blend results.. Bottom line is although I don't expect my Vitamix 750 to ever fail, I wouldn't hesitate paying whatever price Vitamix is asking at the time for a new professional series. I've owned a number of blenders and nothing compares. If you want good health, find a way to get fresh vegetables into your system. I use the Vitamix because it just works
