Got the Pro750 use it for general kitchen duties and chuck it all in smoothies, hummous and nut (peanut mainly) butters.
It good at what it does but is it worth the money NO! it caught me in a moment of weakness.0 -
We have a Magimix which is still not cheap for a blender but nowhere near as much as the Vitamix. It seems to handle everything we throw at it very well, so I'm not sure what a Vitamix would do better. Maybe the Vitamix is worth it if you use it very intensively.Let's settle this like gentlemen: armed with heavy sticks
On a rotating plate, with spikes like Flash Gordon

very good for soup. Just chuck in a whole pile of vegetable bits &pieces with some water and leave it on full for 10 mins.
Also fruit smoothies0 -

Thanks for this! I had always wanted a Vitamix. I've seen the demos and read the reviews but wow they are expensive! There is just no way...
Instead I used some Amazon vouchers to get myself a Hotpoint soup maker (it steams veg then blends it to a soup). It also does smoothies and can churn ice so seemed to do what I wanted from a Vitamix. I had thought about the Magimix but it didn't heat food the same time as blending it hence wanting a soup maker.
I had always looked at the Vitamix thinking "if only" but reading that you don't think it's worth the price it is makes me feel a bit better. I can see it would work really well for me but know it's just out of my budget.0 -

Looks horribly like a cheapo Vitamix rip-off.
Also have a Vitamix Pro and would say if your looking at the price then its probably not for you. Is it worth it? as above no.
