I bought my vitamix a month ago and I am very pleased with it, I eat veggies in the morning with morning smoothies .. they taste wonderful and they are very onctuous. I found doing hot soup different than with a regular blender but they are way healthier !! the only thing that I did not foudn 'super' was the stapula that were offered as on option, they do a certain part of the work but not that much, I had already other stapula that do it    . I am learning to do ice cream, and I am looking forward to be creative in term of recipes and eating helthier
