After reviewing blenders and vitamix blenders for months I finally went with this one. Because I didn’t previously have a blender I didn’t know if I would actually use it, and couldn’t commit to higher priced models. This one already was extremely pricey for me.So yes it’s an amazing blender, everything ends up very smooth, even the vegetable smoothies I’d be making. I love green veggies and quarter of a lime or lemon (no need to peel just throw it in!). Also soups are great, I make a tomato one as no prep required (ie frying onions etc), you just throw it all in and blend for 5/6 minutes. And the broccoli and cheese is great too but need to steam the broccoli first. I’ve made Brazil but butter which I kept in the fridge and was so dreamy and amazing, just take a spoonful as a treat on the go (instead of a. Fatball or similar). No more peeling chickpeas for hommous this blitzes it as chunky or 100% smooth. When fresh it’s warm and so dreamy. Being low carb I have a lot of cauliflower rice. You just add the florets (I add broccoli too) and water so the floating just above blades and blitz. Then strain water out. I do a head of brocollinamd cauliflower, then blitz an onion, mix together with salt n pepper, and any herbs, garlic powder, lobe oil, and bake in oven... so good! I also make my bulletproof coffee in it, wowsas it’s amazing and frothy. Coffee isn’t the same now unless I pop in this for 30secs. I’ve also made the banana ice cream for the kids, they love it, and it’s just 2 ingredients, frozen banana (slice up and freeze ahead of time), and soft cheese. I’ve made keto ice cream too with frozen berries and the soft cheese, and mint.So my low carb diet has become so much easier. And I am eating WAY more veg everyday. I leave it on the counter and use 3 times a day most days! It’s very easy to clean, usually just a quick rinse in cold water straight away. Or if I’ve left it on the counter and go to use it later, I just pop in some warm water and tiny drop of washing up liquid and blend for 30secs.Negatives... well the price! But it comes with warranty and I think the quality of blend would not be improved with more expensive models that are €500+, so a great option for the vitamix experience for less.Noise, it’s not just your family you need to worry about waking up, this thing could wake your neighbours!No timer on it, so for soups I need to set phone timer.A small learning curve. It does take a while (as with any blender I guess), to get used to the order you add the ingredients to prevent air pockets. Air pockets are easily fixed with the stick thing but the extra messing around can end up adding heat to your smoothie. But just add more ice if his happens. This is only when I haven’t followed a recipe tho. It’s usually because I didn’t add the liquid first.The recipe book was so disappointing! It’s nice quality paper and binding, but in lots of different languages?! So even tho it’s quite thick, only a couple of pages for each language. I’ve been using the website and google, and then writing down my favourites as prefer to have recipes on paper rather than looking in phone.
