I bought my vitamix 2 years ago and I love it so much I even bought my best friend one for christmas this past year. It’s worth every penny, I’m always on the go and I love having a tool that can make a nutrious smoothie every morning within seconds so I can throw it in a container and run out the door. I throw raw vegetables and have delicious creamy soups for lunch. It’s a huge time saver and would recommend the vitamix to anyone.
