Pros & Cons
Pros
It's so powerful it easily grinds up all veggies for smoothies and soups. It blends easily and cleans well too. Great for hot soup and cold meals. Easy to clean and easy to make a smoothie.
Highlights
Quality
Sturdy, well made and vitamix is the best
It works excellent and have made many smoothies
Tutorials and videos indicated soups are blended for one minute, but i found that the machine automatically turns off after 6-7... Read More
The only thing i very much dislike about this vitamix blender it is that it is very noisy.
Price
$229 canadian on prime day is the best deal we found and we're so glad we did it.
Will spin out uselessly when blending less liquid stuff - i kinda expected it to work better for that high price but maybe that's on me.
I don't know how i lived without this, great price .
It was a great deal for a product like this.
Shipping
It took a very long time to get out for delivery but that is my only complaint.
Had a small issue with jug and amazon took care of it really fast with no hassle, thanks amazon.
Packaging/appearance
I was a little hesitant to buy the reconditioned version at first, but the packaging and blender itself were in perfect condition.
This item is renewed but for all practical purposes, it is indistinguishable from a brand new vitamix, minus the original packing box.
Competitiveness
It works very well, in comparison to my b&d, so far.
For me, the only difference between this and a new one turned out to be the 3 year warranty vs a 7 year warranty on a brand new model.
If you are looking to save a few bucks vitamix (and amazon) offer refurbished models that you would never tell the difference from new.
I bought this blender after my old blender (a different brand) broke down.

Amazing product but cleaning it is annoying

Had a less powered blender and kept over heating and shutting off

I won’t use for soup heating because you need to add an extra step of already cooked veggies
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
So might as well just continue use of same pot to do veggies in instead of making a mess of two things

Also just wash by hand instead of recommended technique to add soapy water and blend

The power of motor is also little less powerful and it takes to much time to blend
