I received my Vitamix about a month ago and I am SO happy with it. I have a smoothie for breakfast every single day and it blends them up in no time, and leaves them with the perfect milkshake texture. I've also used it to make soup bases. I love how versatile it is and how easy it is to use. Plus clean up is a breeze since you just have to turn the blender back on with some water and a drop of soap.
