My Aunt and Grandma just got my fiancé and I a vitamix for our wedding gift and we couldn't be happier with it! We make a ton of smoothies and you can put any fruit and veggie in there and it comes out smooth and delicious! We've also made a lot of soups - just throw everything in there and leave it on for 6 minutes. It's incredible how hot the soup gets! I HIGHLY recommend this product!!
