I purchased this Vitamix because I wanted to make all of my own baby food. This blender pureed the most smooth purees possible. I was able to make 4 months of baby food in two days! I can't image a better machine for the job. Not to mention this blender fits perfectly under my cabinet! It came with a wonderful cookbook that has tons of recipes. Thanks Vitamix...I'm convienced this blender could puree anything but rocks.
