I wanted to find out how many have a vitamix blender I'm just wondering if I should get one especially for the puréed and soup stages what is everyone's opinion on this??

I don't have one but I see qvc n it awesome but I have been using the Nutri bullet it also makes soup

I have a VitaMix blender since years. I don't think that you need a blender that is as expensive as the VitaMix for as little as a few weeks. If you're planning to continue using it I'd highly recommend it.

I have had one for a few years and use it almost daily. I love it, but if it's just something you need for a couple of months, there are much cheaper options out there that will do the job.

I have one, and although is does blend super smoothly, there are irritating things about it. I was thinking of trying out a different brand, if I can scrape together the dough.

I have a vitamix and I love it, I haven't yet made any soups.but I'm sure it's going to come into handy soon.

I have a Vitamix, and I absolutely LOVE it! They are pricey for sure, but if you can swing it, it's totally worth the cost. I've seen them at Costco lately for a good price, and you can also buy refurbished ones directly from Vitamix. A friend of mine did that, and hers looks and works just like new, and she saved a ton of money.

I have one and still mix my powder shakes manually.

I don't haul mine out for the powder shakes either, but I use it for smoothies, soups, and salsa. I have also used it to make my own almond butter.

Hi - we just bought one last weekend. We were thinking of buying it, and while at Costco Vitamix was there demonstrating. We got the newest model ($600. Canadian). Before we invested that much $ in it we discussed how much we'd use it and for what. For me, it'll be handy as I cannot have sugar alcohols so will likely be steering away from processed, flavoured protein mixes. I want to try to make my own so I'm getting the vitamins from real food. I also get very nauseous from calcium, and although my clinic insists I MUST take it - being so sick daily isn't a great option. So again, I'll need to get as much as possible from food. My husband and I also think it's a great way to sneak veggies into out 11 year old daughter via smoothies :-)
