I never thought a blender could be so versatile until I tried this Vitamix blender. I made avocado crema in seconds and I even made ice cream (seriously!) in mere minutes. The new timer feature on this blender is incredible because you can set it and forget it as you are working in the kitchen. As a multi-tasker home cook, this is a HUGE selling point for me. I've been using it every day since I received it and it has made cooking so much easier and more approachable. Plus, this machine is SO easy to use, you don't have to be a pro to use it at home. It's the most essential appliance I have in my kitchen now (and looks so sleek on my countertop)! I was sent this product for free in exchange for an honest review.
