What an amazing piece of kit. I had doubts about spending so much on this model but wouldn’t ever look back now. The whole family use it to prep just about anything you can imagine. Far more than a blender. My only negative is we have purchased the small jars and drinks containers and the base needs tightening up really tight for the magnets to register. My wife finds it difficult to get the thing tight enough for it to work. A little bit of design improvement needed there! I look forward to Vitamix releasing the Balance in the UK so the app can work properly.
