I have been blown away by the features of my Vitamix! The fact that you can whip up homemade almond butter in less than 2 minutes is reason enough to go get your own! I love all of the functions on the Vitamix, especially the timer. The clean and minimal design is something I always gravitate towards when purchasing new kitchen appliances. I was nervous at first to make the switch to a Vitamix since I'm not quite at "chef level," but I quickly realized that ANYONE can use a Vitamix. It's so easy, and the recipes it comes with will quickly turn you into an at home chef! I was given this product for free in exchange for my honest review. These opinions are my own.
