*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.

[@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 ❤️

[@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.

[@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! 😊

[@jessicaausborn]

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

[@Downshiftology]

I agree! Such a great idea 😊

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 😊

[@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.

[@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!

[@NicoleL1177]

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.

[@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! 👏👏👏😋

[@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 😊

[@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!

[@tonifafa]

Happy birthday! Excellent job as always.

[@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!!

[@trevaperkins7145]

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

[@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!

[@jacquelinerose1877]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@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......

[@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!

[@SebastianCanale]

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

[@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.

[@susanl9635]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@VerenaSatriani]

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

[@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! 😊

[@c.nicole.n]

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

[@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 😊

[@ritaweinstein4056]

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

[@miloniparikh3752]

Great trick to make the chocolate curls🙌 Lovely video❤️

[@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!

[@stevenl6923]

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

[@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! 🤩

[@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.

[@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 😊

[@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. 😊

[@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

[@Michelleelise444]

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

[@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.

[@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….

[@cindybtanner3974]

Happy belated birthday Lisa! Mine is also in August. The Vitamix blender food processor combo is exactly what I am looking for. Thank you for the valuable information.

[@Downshiftology]

Glad this was helpful Cindy! 😊

[@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.

The time has finally come! 😊

[@lauralynn4504]

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

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

[@ingeh6135]

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

[@bjjones1969]

hey there, Jackie here. came across your video while looking for videos on the vitamix food processor. excellent video. now glad i ordered my processor. waiting to arrive! i don't clean my vitamix in my dishwasher... is it safe to wash in my bosch dishwasher? i do use my vitamix almost daily.... thank you again for your video. great content!

[@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!

[@njw9531]

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

[@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.

[@terranentity]

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

[@ginapaquet909]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@DorisR184]

I'm late to the party because I had no idea Vitamix made a good processor attachment. I just ordered it and can't wait to try your energy ball recipe, it looks delicious! Thank you for sharing.

[@aarudra50k70]

OMG, I will definitely try this Downshiftology flare 😉😛🍫🥛

[@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💕

[@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!

[@marcelaramirez9782]

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

[@elizabethbrady4604]

How's the clean up? Wondering if the self cleaning feature works with the food processor too.

[@noeldunsky]

I was really wanting to get the Vitamix A-3500 with this attachment but disappointingly the food processor only works with machines sold in the US and Canada...It seems the guys at Vitamix are not working hard enough to make all the functions and attachments accessible to potential international customers...I have a small kitchen and no room for 2 machines...:(

[@dance2135]

This is disappointing. I had been hoping to buy in US and carry it over. Odd the sizing wouldn’t be the same. Bummer.

[@dawnthompson8981]

[@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.🥺

[@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?

Wonderful review and great recipes. Hope you had a great birthday!

[@luciegallagher2710]

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

[@jasonburns6411]

Great looking product! For those asking, it appears to only be compatible with Ascent and Venturist (shown in video) series blenders, not the older model blenders.

[@Downshiftology]

Thanks for pointing that out Jason! 😊

[@tiffanym2631]

Oh that makes me so sad. Maybe I should upgrade and then sell my older one. I need a food processor, but I just don’t have the space in my kitchen. This attachment is the answer, except that I have an older vitamix. Something to think about though. Thanks for the great review Lisa!

[@karencooper8758]

I gifted mine to my niece who has always wanted one. She runs a local cafe & that's where it is. ​@tiffanym2631

[@adswar]

I got a Breville Sous chef for $100 more than the price for this food processor that comes with multiple attachments and is great to work with. This could have been a great addition if the price point was right. But great recipes btw! Chocolate swirl trick was amazing!

[@thewisdomchapter333]

Dear Lisa, can i use this attachment with my vitamix 750 motor? Or is it not possible?

[@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 ☺️

[@jag5471]

Will this vitamix processor good for cauliflower rice Lisa? I’m prediabetic and want to go for a low carb diet. Choosing a food processor with a grater blade that will be good for cauliflower rice. I have the ascent blender, so wondering if the vitamix processor attachment will be good to save space also in my cupboard😊?

[@DianeBucka]

Thanks, very informative! I'm in the market for a new high powered blender, but don't have an open counter space. Would the food processor fit under standard kitchen upper cabinets? If not (and because I already own a food processor), which Vitamix would you recommend (smoothies, sauces, soups, nut butters....)?

[@raagen1]

Do you still need the dry grains bowl if I get the food processor? Looking at the A2300.

[@xochilsilva1357]

Does this attachment work with the original Vitamix or do I need a newer version

[@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.

[@Downshiftology]

Of course Amy! Hope this gave you some good insights for what this can do 😊

[@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!

[@bendosia]

For the cucumber slices and shredded carrots part, how do you switch between slicing and shredding when they all sit on the same disc? For example, say you wanted slices of carrots, how do you do that instead of shredded carrots?

[@aarudra50k70]

looks delicious ... I'm defiantly making them💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@fattyfat-fat6639]

I have an older 2006 vitamix - without an instant pulse button. Will this processor fit and work on my blender?

[@eddie4324]

Unfortunately you can’t get these in Europe, think it may have something to do with the requirement to have an interlocking guard for the lid?
