Vitamix 5000

Pros: Could reduce the General Sherman Tree to a pile of sawdust

Cons: None

Review: When I was a kid, I used to go to the big flower show in NYC with my Mom. For reasons unknown, they had demonstrations of non-flower gadgets, including the Vita-Mix blender. We had zero money at the time, but I remember my Mom and I watching longingly...

Pros: The absolute highest quality blender I have seen.

Cons: Wont be able to hear the phone ring when on highest setting!

The Bottom Line: This is a MUST have machine. You cant go wrong with it. It is one of the best decisions I ever made.

Review: I Finally got my dream blender. It took along time but I finally have a Vita-Mix. I know that this machine will outlast any other kitchen appliance I own. This machine has replaced my juicer, food processor, ice cream maker, and blender, to name just...

Pros: Excellent blending capabilities, multiple uses, easy to clean and maintain

Cons: Pricey

Review: Simply an amazing machine

My new vita mix joined the rest of my appliance family early this month. I researched this purchase for over six months. I started asking on cooking message boards and health related message boards for advice in...

Pros: It is a blender, chopper, ice cream maker and so VERY easy to clean.

Cons: It is very loud, only 7 year warranty

The Bottom Line: I would definitely recommend this blender to anyone who likes to cook or just have frozen drinks. It is unstoppable!!

Review: The Vita Mix 5000 has to be the very best investment that anyone who spends a lot of time in the kitchen can make. I bought this blender not knowing half of what it could do. I wanted it just because I saw the demonstrator make some soft serve ice...

Pros: Versatile, Replaces Several Appliances Easy to Clean

Cons: Costly

Review: Lets face it, the American kitchen has become a complicated barrage of kitchen appliance must-have-its. Kitchen countertops are so full with microwaves, toaster ovens, electrical can openers, blenders, juicers, bread machines, and coffee pots. If your...

Pros: What a blender ought to be. If you need a good blender, this is it.

Cons: Noisy when grinding grain

The Bottom Line: Highly recommended

Review: I've had this for a few months and love it. I use it almost every day to make soups, vegetable and fruit drinks, and sometimes bread. It's easy to use, well designed, easy to clean and is far more capable than any of the numerous ordinary blenders I've ...

Pros: Absolutely unmatched quality and usefulness. Healthier living made easy. Fun for the whole family!

Cons: Expensive, but that's your problem, not the Vita-Mix's!

The Bottom Line: If you want to eat healthy and you can afford it, then there is no reason not to have a Vita-Mix in your kitchen. I LOVE IT.

Review: I've been the proud, proud owner of a Vita Mix 5000 for a year now, and it continues to be my most prized possession (even the digital piano, which cost about the same, hasn't edged it out!). As I read through the other reviews, I could relate to ...

Pros: Commercial quality, powerful, versatile.

Cons: Loud on high speeds.

Review: The Vita-Mix 5000 is one powerful, jet-screamin’, versatile machine. And before you dismiss this machine because of its price, consider the fact that it juices, frappes, blends, crushes, grinds, cooks, purees, whips, mills, kneads, mixes, minces,...

Pros: Great for grinding and mayonnaise

Cons: Not a great juicer

The Bottom Line: If you need all of the features this model has it is well worth the price and has a 7 year warranty.

Review: You have probably seen the Vitamix at County Fairs or Home shows. That's where I saw my first one and fell in love with it! I have owned a Vitamix for almost 20 years. It is probably the most heavy duty blender/appliance on the market today. What ...

Pros: Will last forever, super easy to clean, and is versatile

Cons: Price. Design could be slicker but is ok by me.

The Bottom Line: The Vitamix is expensive, but will last your lifetime and easily handle any of your blender tasks - and then some.

Review: This Vitamix is expensive, but it is solid, well designed, and should last a lifetime. It is way more powerful than the KitchenAid that it replaced. You will see it in the industrial kitchens of the tv show "Top Chef" and other cooking shows. You'll ...
