*NEW* VITAMIX FOOD PROCESSOR | is it worth it? review + recipes

[@Downshiftology]

What do you guys think? If you own a Vitamix Ascent or Venturist model, are you going to buy this new food processor attachment? Let me know! xo - Lisa

[@tania-zx6ox]

I have a vitamix blender!

[@Downshiftology]

Oh no! Well it's good to keep in mind that Vitamix now has a great food processor if you ever need a new one 😊

[@Downshiftology]

This is the perfect attachment to add to your collection 😊

[@LittleLulubee]

@Ivy Hopkins ME, TOO!!!!!!! I didn't know about this! 😭

[@qnladybug1891]

I definitely want one! All in one is really awesome. Less appliances.

[@inbark7809]

Dear Lisa, I have been looking into buying my first vitamix for a while and my only draw back was that I would have to have two separate machines ( a blender and a food processor). Your video finally tipped the scales - I have found the ultimate winner!🏆 Thank you

[@Downshiftology]

So glad this attachment came right in time as you were thinking about it 😊 Hope this video was helpful!

[@lottatroublemaker6130]

Just make sure to get one of the models it works for! Others post about this, it doesn’t work with all the Vitamix blenders... 😢

[@inbark7809]

@@lottatroublemaker6130 Thanks👍🏻

[@samiraabdu8007]

Wow, that cake looks very professional. Just got my Vitamix and I am really excited and looking forward to use it everyday. Thanks 😊

[@islandgirl3244]

Love it! I have a stainless steel 3500plus bought in 1990! Use it every day and I want a new one but my hubby jokes that it’s only halfway through its life!! He also says the power in the neighborhood dims whenever I turn it on lol They sure do make durable products ❤️

[@Camille_Boomer77000]

To me the most appealing part of it is how high the cutting disks sit. There is no gap between the feeder and the blade which allows produces to be completely sliced. With my current kitchen aid food processor I always end up with a nub of carrot, cucumber etc stuck at the tops and pieces that didn't get shredded.

[@Downshiftology]

Yes, there was definitely less scraps that got stuck above the disc.

[@lottatroublemaker6130]

WOW, A couple of years ago or maybe a bit less, I sent a mail to several of the blender manufacturers, asking them to make this, telling them that it makes no sense not to utilize that great motor for more than just blending, that it makes a lot less sense to buy a separate food processor with a weaker motor, that it is the right thing to do for the environment etc etc. I think Vitamix was one of those I mailed. Maybe they listened? 😊👏 No matter if I was the one who gave them a kick in the butt for making this or not, I am really happy that they made it! 👏👏👏😋

[@rubygregory1992]

I’ve been saving up so I can invest in a vitamix and now I’m even more excited about the new food processor! I can’t wait!

[@glockenrein]

It looks amazing. Unfortunately also amazingly out of my price range. 😂

[@SilentReader2]

😂

[@genovevaherrera1235]

Exactly what i thougth.

[@thesocialintrovertchronicles]

😂😂😂😂

[@darinakalinova2180]

Indeed, I do believe it's great but with this price it's just hard to justify.

[@jenniferharned6484]

Also it only works on the upper in tech and price range base models.😢 I’m very disappointed, I’m in need of a new food processor and thought this is the answer, but only have a basic Vitamix blender purchased at Costco..it’s not worth up grades.🥺

[@JHollidayB]

What a wonderful review and recipe!! 💜💜💜 There is no way Vitamix could do a more professional, inspiring and educational ad or guide! Great job Lisa! And Happy Birthday! 💜💜💜

[@Downshiftology]

Thanks! Hope this video gave you some new insights! 😊

[@tormentedsoul7852]

No Kidding......

[@dariann1661]

Not going to lie this video alone was a huge reason why I got the accent series.Just waiting for the processor to go on sale during the holidays💕

[@Downshiftology]

Can't wait for you to get your hands on the food processor! 😊

[@michellelinhoff3736]

What I really like about this is the snap in place instead of plastic turn and and click in as food processors have. My last food processor plastic broke off so this is a much smarter system I feel. Would make a great wedding gift for my son and daughter in law! ;) Love the concept of less shelf space!

[@sophiamilto1844]

Wow! This is amazing!! I am adding the Vitamix food processor and a new Vitamix to my Christmas list! :) Also, love the recipes!

[@spasticsadcase]

Finally. This is exactly what I was hoping they would make. It just makes sense. I haven't bought a food processor because I heard this was in the works. Thank you so much Vitamix!

[@vsgtrek]

I just bought a used 5200 Vitamix on Marketplace, she moved into a 160sf apt and just didn't have the room for it any longer. I'm so excited to start using it and trying some of your recipes with it.

[@SebastianCanale]

At last!!!!! years asking for this!!!! Thanks for reviewing.

[@lavoicebrandon27]

I am so happy that they have this new attachment I will be getting that as soon as possible but I do think it should have like a French fry blade a dough blade And a Citrus twister. I need my Vitamix to do everything.

[@sueheartscrafts3738]

Thanks so much for reviewing the vitamix food processor 👍🏼 I saw an add of it on IG and was hoping you would do a review of it. Definitely looks like a game changer and love the recipe of the vegan cheesecake looks delicious 😋 so glad you are doing more vegan recipes for us who are plant based

[@NL1177]

I was really excited for this, until I realized that the food processor bowl only works with the Ascent series base (the most expensive model). I still enjoy my legacy series Vitamix blender that I bought at Costco.

[@ai-fx2st]

Also works with the Venturist V1200 which is also sold at Costco road shows.

[@shakengrain1942]

I invested in high end Pro-750 Vitamix. Not compatible at all. And i was in the market for a food processor. Would have been great.

[@CormacOSheehan]

I see the stainless steel jar works on all models, this makes me think that with a bit of tinkering, it may be possible to get the food processor to work on the other models too... hmmmm

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

The processor is also $450 where I live. You can buy a decent stand alone food processor for less than half that. Vitamix is off their nut. It's polycarbonate and a few metal blades, no electronics or motor. LOL.

[@CormacOSheehan]

@@tony4006 thanks for the warning Tony. Good to know and if I was to do it, I guess I could just keep that in mind and keep the blade at a low speed. I know food processors in general spin a lot slower than the high speeds of a vitamix.

[@jessicaausborn]

I never understood why there are not more blender/food processor combos. This is great.

[@Downshiftology]

I agree! Such a great idea 😊

[@swfrances]

Happy Birthday, Lisa. Thanks for sharing such helpful food information. I have used some of your recipes. And, your previous Vitamix recommendation was influential in my purchase of one last year!

[@magn0lia_tree655]

So very well explained, thank you. I bought a Vitamix based on your advice and recipes, can’t wait to get the blender! ✨💖💫🇬🇧

[@td4611]

I just purchased this Vitamix and food processor. It’s great. I have the older model Vitamix and I must say, it was worth it to upgrade.

[@nhlams]

I am needing a new food processor and I will have to check this out.....It would make it so much easier than having two machines. Thanks for your video!

[@Downshiftology]

Yes! You can't beat a 2 in 1 😊

[@VerenaSatriani]

Goodness. I am so happy that I found your channel. Healthy food for beautiful souls 💚

[@longkorts]

I moved to the US and had to get a new blender. I loved my Wilfa I had and tried Blendtec and Ninja here but they couldn’t even do a regular smoothie, kept blending and blending and it didn’t get smooth. My kids asked ‘what’s that black stuff?’ when they saw the little blueberry ‘peels’ because the Wilfa blended them. Finally decided to buy a Vitamix and it does the job wonderfully! I also later bought the food processor, extra thin blade because I want finely shredded carrots etc, and some other attachments. Now we’re moving back again and I’ll have pry half a suitcase full of Vitamix stuff 😅 it’s not as easy to get a hold of there and also way spendier. I will have to buy a new base and wet container because the electricity is different so it won’t work there. I use the Vitamix every day, food processor attachments several times a week. It’s so so awesome! Especially making caramel balls, just a bunch of dates, vanilla powder (pure black), pinch of salt and just a little bit of coconut oil because the Vitamix is so powerful! It really makes it soooo smooth and I love rolling them into little balls and sometimes dip in melted 85% green & black’s chocolate.

[@dance2135]

Do check compatibility, some collects here suggest the US accessories don’t fit the non US bases. Let us know what you find out for your specific model and country.

[@vrothery50]

I just got one of these - I just hope I use it and it doesnt end up in my garage!

[@ShayMarieDiary]

I almost 🤮 when I saw it at William Sonoma for $899.98 You make it look practical though. LOVE your vid as usual

[@oscarchagoya5985]

899.98 for real ? Is that a joke?

[@ShayMarieDiary]

Óscar Chagoya yes. And that’s the starting price. That’s without all the bells and whistles 🤭

[@oscarchagoya5985]

Cooking For BAE I went to Williams Sonoma they don’t have it. At 899 I don’t think I can afford it tho

[@oscarchagoya5985]

Vitamix.com is 199.99

[@bl6973]

Williams Sonoma is kind of overrated, they have only expensive brands and nothing budget friendly. I recall my mom getting me an imperia pasta machine and it was $90, the imperia actually retails for $50

[@trevaperkins7145]

I have an A2500....I woke up to your video and thought I was dreaming....IM SOOOO EXCITED🎉🎉🎉🎉💖💖💖💖

[@jennifergray92]

Thank you soooo much! I have this bundle in my Costco cart but wasn't sure it was worth the extra cost for this - it's a blender/processor bundle. Thank you. Your video convinced me. I'm using several things to make all my sliced and shredded veggies in batches each week and this will save me hours.

[@Downshiftology]

Glad it was helpful! It's definitely a great tool to have in your kitchen.

[@tiklemeangi]

Costco brought me here!!

[@kellywest2820]

I have a small home and space is limited. This new Vitamix is 2 machines in one and it packs away well. Just what I need. Thanks for sharing and I hope you had a great Birthday!

[@carmyshungry]

OK - I definitely need this! I've been looking for a new food processor and I love that it can just go on top of my existing Vitamix.

[@Downshiftology]

Can't beat a 2 in one 1. 😊

[@tonifafa]

Happy birthday! Excellent job as always.

[@monicachmiel9266]

I am so bummed that I bought a brand new food processor like a year ago. I’ve only used it once. Probably because it’s a pain to get out and figure out and heavy. I wish they came out with this years ago! How amazing is this!!! Great job Vita Mix!

[@tonimcdowall2427]

Sell it and get this attachment!

[@BrittniPope]

Hi Lisa! Excellent video! I love how versatile the Vitamix is! Going to share this Vid/recipe with my BFF who recently went vegan and bought her first vitamix! I know she’ll be swooning over this recipe just like me! Thank you for taking the time to film this!💛

[@Downshiftology]

Amazing Brittni! 😊 Thanks so much for sharing. Anyone who currently owns a Vitamix is going to love this.

[@tcoladonato]

Just WOW!!! 💚🤎💚🤎 Felice Compleanno Amica!

[@nanni7746]

I already treated myself to a Vitamix blender and I’m just so happy to see there’s a food processor container available now! Since I live in Germany I hope Vitamix will bring the food processor also to Europe🙏🏼🙏🏼☺️🥰

[@SatansBaby1]

It will not, becuase its not safe enough.

[@danthalius]

Hi Lisa. First, I am late but Happy Birthday! Second, thank you for those nice and fancy recipes. I am definitely adding the Vitamix into my wishlist, in the hope to find a discount or big sales someday.

[@njw9531]

Wow! Great timing! I was looking at a high end food processor, but I have a Vitamix👏🏼

[@kameladiaz197]

WOW... Makes life so much easier. You are the Vitamix queen! 💕 Thank you again for your videos!

[@Downshiftology]

Can't beat a 2 in one kitchen tool! 😊

[@lafandenuel5605]

I love your kitchen. It's sooo beautiful. I would be happy cooking in a place like that daily. Like singing all the time.

[@Sweetsongs2011]

That is so awesome!! I love the large chute and the fact that one machine can do double duty!

[@chinchillin6280]

We bought ours this past weekend. Excited to try it out! 🤩

[@marcelaramirez9782]

Whaaaaat??!!! Can Vitamix get any better?? Just add your food processor accessory and you will instantly acquire superpowers in the kitchen. AMAZING

[@lauralynn4504]

These links are bomb. Vitamix is life. Thanks for this @Downshiftology ❤️

[@bl6973]

Good on vitamix for actually making a food processor attachment

[@Downshiftology]

Definitely! 😊

[@macrumpton]

Bad on them for making Cuisinart look like a bargain.

[@jaesoto3218]

I just ordered the food processor! I have been waiting for it to come back in stock. Thanks for your video and Happy Birthday!!

[@Downshiftology]

Awesome! Excited for you to. get your hands on this food processor 😊

[@MSUCowgurl]

I received the email from Vitamix announcing this little gem and have been considering it. Thank you for reviewing it! I can always trust your opinions about kitchen appliances 😁👍

[@Downshiftology]

Thanks Arian! I always give my honest opinions about products and I can definitely say this attachment is a great option for anyone who owns a Vitamix 😊

[@jacquelinerose1877]

Are the vitamix blender jar and food processor bowl dishwasher safe? super important for considering

[@Belen-ro5iu]

Wow! My new short goal is saving up to get a vitamix! This is awesome and it’s practical if you can use it for most of the prepping process. Love your videos, they got me into cooking lol

[@Downshiftology]

So glad to hear that Belen! 😊 A Vitamix is definitely worth the investment and I guarantee you'll love it once you get it.

[@lorettacali10370]

My first vitamix was reconditioned and it lasted 25 years. It still works but my husband upgraded mine. Look into one that is reconditioned.

[@Belen-ro5iu]

Downshiftology Thank you!

[@Belen-ro5iu]

Loretta Gravelle That sounds great! I will definitely look into that. Thank you!

[@Michelleelise444]

Lisa! I recieved a vitamix for my birthday! I'm soooooohappy!

[@ingeh6135]

Ooooo that is a clever design of storing the blades and lid👍👍

[@mariaroqueta3135]

I’m extremely content with my regular Vitamix and separate FP. I’ll pass on this. Thanks for the video however.💜

[@ThePatriotWhip]

Nice job on review. Easy to follow and thorough. This is a kitchen fantasy! Still saving for the vitamix blender, but will start saving for this too!

[@clos6613]

You are a food genius. You should have your own TV show on food network. I miss when they put on shows where people actually taught you how to cook and give recipes. Now its always some competition. 1 or 2 are fine. But they just overdo it now. And now when it comes to Halloween and Christmas they start with those like 2 months ahead of time and its on repeat ALL DAY!!! Like enough already. Thank goodness for the internet where people like you teach us so much. I thought I was pretty good in the kitchen but you humbled me haha.

[@erikbetancourt7194]

I bought the E350? The one costco has 3 weeks ago. Then vitamix had a road show, so i bought the food processor for it. Did not work? But was able to chop carrots in thin slices. So, i just bought a A3500. Now i will have 2 new vitamix. Being a vegetarian i know both will be used a lot. Like your channel, helped me a lot with learning what i can do with the vitamix.

[@misha9952]

Thank you for the video! I always hoped vitamix would make a food processing attachment. Wish it wasn't that expensive but might be a good investment since I've had my vitamix for over 13 years.

[@karencooper8758]

I got the a2300/processor package. I'm so excited!

[@GC-up9zv]

Wow! this would be a real game changer. Thanks Lisa for the great demo & kudos to vitamix 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Does the food processor fit any model vitamix machine?

[@stevenl6923]

Awesome. But when will this be made available in the UK? Don't forget your overseas customers, Vitamix!

[@dabbh97]

I will definitely be investing in one of these, I love the recipes😭😭😭 thé vegan cheesecake looks amazing!! As well as the energy balls, can’t wait to try this! Thanks again Lisa🦋

[@dawnthompson8981]

Thank you 🙏 HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🥳

[@c.nicole.n]

Happy Belated Birthday 🎂 I absolutely love your videos! ❤️🤍❤️🤍

[@ginapaquet909]

Great review and while I am interested, per the website, and not mentioned here, it only works with Ascent and Venturist Series :(

[@dariann1661]

So a couple of days ago I bought A vitamix, I forgot which one but it was $500. They didn’t have the A Series in store so I figured that one would be fine but honestly after seeing this video I’m ready to take it back and I’m going to just order this one off-line. You make it look so nice! Love the content of your videos always💕

[@janemartin229]

What a bummer--it only works with self-detect bases like Ascent and Venturist series! It costs $200 and I've already purchased 2 Vitamix blenders and it won't work with either one.

[@alexmylesbushick8609]

I'm in the same boat! I have two Vitamix and neither one will work. I wish Vitamix was like Kitchen-aid and made attachments that works on all the models!

[@mrzalski]

I’ve got three Vitamixes and this won’t work with any of them. Not cool, Vitamix.

[@maegantucker6684]

Same problem, here. I can't afford a new Vitamix. The one I have took me a long time to save up for!

[@italivireboreda9847]

agreed

[@lottatroublemaker6130]

What a bummer!

[@terranentity]

Must do this now, it is known. Thanks for the idea of what to do in the vitamix processor.

[@gigiajavon122]

Love it. Was so happy to see it this morning 🙌🏾

[@ocrun6765]

Wow, I can't believe it!! I've been begging Vitamix to make a processor attachment for 20 years. I haven't even watched yet but I'm going to get it. FINALLY! Although I've learned how to process onions, and carrots and celery and make cauliflower rice with my large jar.

[@Downshiftology]

It's finally here! 😊

[@ritazimny1507]

I just ordered the new vitamix yesterday. The food processor is unfortunately out of stock. I will keep checking. I currently have the new ninja blender with food processor. I'm excited to see the difference between the two

[@fzilla42]

I was excited about this new product but now I’m over it because it’s never in stock. I love my Vitamix, but will continue to use my equally beloved Cuisinart food processor ☺️

[@miloniparikh3752]

Great trick to make the chocolate curls🙌 Lovely video❤️

[@maplejubilee]

Loved both of these recipes! Can’t wait to try out the energy balls but especially the vegan cheesecake!😍 Thanks for the recipes!❤️

[@Downshiftology]

Can't wait for you to make those recipes Marsha! ❤️

[@ritaweinstein4056]

Looks amazing the food processor. Your cake looks really delicious. Happy Birthday!

[@silviamaria1000]

I'm in the lookout for a new food processor since my Cuisinart gave up on me after more than 20 years. For petite people, wouldn't the FP be kind of tall to reach ? Looks like it's kind of high when you set it up on a kitchen counter.

[@ABIGAIL3246]

I love how you present. Cool Thanks

[@elileos206]

Happy belated birthday! 🤗💕🎂 I hope you enjoyed your special day. As always, thank you for the great video. Blessings.

[@lucaslegz]

I have the professional 750 series but I want the one you have because the food processor only work with your model. I wish Vitamix did a trade in program!

[@seand2022]

Overpriced tho. $200 after you already pay $500+ for the blender.

[@digitallocations1423]

$500 is too much for a blender. My first one cost $24 5-6 years ago and it still works. I'm not crazy about how the jug looks though.

[@AchOwed]

I don't own one, but they are high quality and have a very long warranty.

[@lionintu]

I bought my vitamix for $300 back in 2002, and I still own it. @@digitallocations1423

[@adam4025]

yessss ! That what I need 2-on-1 !!!!!!!! I just got a bonus from my workplace! I gotta have this ASAP !! :D

[@athomewithwam3505]

I’m surprised Vitamix didn’t have a food processor. Looks amazing. Now I really need to put the vitamix on my Christmas wish list. Thanks for the video.

[@aarudraavasarala6157]

Thank you! And have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your love ones ❤

[@xgroupblue]

Thank you for sharing. I was gifted a set this past Xmas and love the bender. I have yet to try the food processor since it’s just me and it’s not time efficient to take out the food processor for a couple of slices of cucumber or a handful of cheese of 1 grilled sandwich or 1 quesadillas. But I am watching this video so I can get an idea on how to use it and maybe use it this weekend:).

[@dolcevita713]

I thought the same until I started prepping my salads for the day and next…I’m eating healthier and more veggies than ever….

[@Kittyykatz2076]

Looks like a fabulous appliance!

How do you keep the vitamix container looking so new and clear? Mine looks foggy even after using vinegar solution to clean.

Love te aluminium shavings in the chocolate. That was best part.

[@MilaMilosevic]

This is amazing! Thank you for this detailed review and demo Lisa, it's super helpful! I'm going to start saving up for this 😁Will this attachment work with older Vitamix models - is it universal?

Nope. Just the ascent and venturist models

What a fantastic video! Those recipes look amazing!!!! Great job!!! Xxx

[@grayja100]

I am so excited for this. I want to put it on my Christmas wish list, but I don't think I can wait that long!! U bought one of the better Vitamix machines for myself last Christmas, in hopes this attachment will be coming. Thank you for your review.
