I considered buying a Vitamix for a long time before I finally bought it 6 months ago. I use it everyday and love it! So far, I've made healthy smoothies at-least once a day. I realized that last winter was the first time in years that I didn't get the usual long drawn out illness that lasted for months. I'm going to credit the healthy smoothies for that change in my health. I bought the 750 with the shorter container and the dry container. I was impressed with the weight of the blender and the containers. They are solid and the blender is powerful. I just added the 32 oz. container for making single serving smoothies and it's perfect! I'm looking forward to the summer and finding new ways to use my Vitamix! Now that I have one, I don't want to be without one!
