Hi friends! Who has a Vitamix on their wishlist? You know I LOVE my Vitamix and use it daily in my kitchen. So with the holidays right around the corner I thought I'd answer some of your questions on which Vitamix blender you should buy. And I'm tossing in ALL the accessories. ;) I hope you find the video helpful and if you have any questions, let me know! xo - Lisa

When you said that your Vitamix would last for decades you were right. I think we bought ours around 1983. The container is all metal and has a spigot attached to the front. Still kicking after 30 years.

Problem is parts availability. My 3600 lasted 20 years, replaced the blade assembly once and the brushes 3-4 times. Blade assembly broke again and part was no longer available. Suspect the same problem here as new models arise. It seemed a shame to toss it as the motor ran fine.

Perhaps you are confusing my older model with some newer ones? Too late regardless. Be great if the newer ones were built as well as the oldies, or a new product line, "Vitamix Vintage."

​@@tallnubian Hi tallnubian. I have used the Vitamix A3500 for two types of hummus (following Lisa's recipes) and for several types of soup. I definitely prefer the Vitamix to my blender or food processors. With the A3500 I have more options for speed and control over intensity. I have no doubt in the blades and am not worried about putting either hot or cold items in the Vitamix. The different speeds help the food move around more smoothly and so I spend a lot less time trying to extract food from under the blades like I do with my blender and food processor.) My favorite option right now is the cleaning. You just put in a bit of water and dish soap and there's a specific button for cleaning. It takes less than a minute and does a great job of sending the soapy water into every part of the container. Then just rinse and dry! (No need to take it all apart and wash the individual pieces separately. I'm excited to make almond milk (again using Lisa's recipe) and ginger banana smoothies for Thanksgiving.

Vitamix are the best! I use it for EVERYTHING! My family bought our first Vitamix 12 years ago and we bought a second one with a regular container and a dry container about 5 years ago. Being Mexican it comes in handy having different containers since we only make salsas in the older container just in case someone doesn't wash it correctly. This avoids us accidentally getting spicy cashew milk.

I had to leave it on for 5 minutes to get an okay blend then I had to use a strainer before marinating the meat. I’m over it, I’m just trying to find the perfect one.

I have a Super 5000 that I bought 12 years ago. Light use for all those years. I recently tried to make almond butter with it, following all the directions, and the motor shut down three times, I guess from overheating. I finally gave up and used the Cuisinart food processor, which handled it easily, getting only slightly warm. I'm now using the Vitamix exclusively for wet chopping of vegetables for dehydrating. I'd be more interested in some of the accessories if they weren't so ungodly expensive for what you're getting. I don't mind spending money, but $100 is a bit aggressive for a container. I get the whole "quality" thing, but it still seems like they are overcharging for something that is just an accessory.

I mention this because it is so different from the normal Vitamix, and you should review it. The model 3 has a 3 horsepower motor and virtually never needs the tamper because it's so powerful and fast you just turn it on and it blends anything. I love it!

I decided to go with the 750 model. One of my top criteria was LOUDNESS (decibels). It is rated as one of the quietest.

So....I went out and bought a E310 Explorian Series .....as that was all the store had. The container seemed a little small to make your cashew nut milk recipe so I made it in two batches. It’s really fast, easy to clean and my new favourite kitchen “toy”!! At just over $400.00 Canadian, I believe it will meet all my needs in trying your recipes! Now...I’m off to make almond butter in my new Vitamix blender :)

Thanks for the in-depth review of the different ones. I have had a vitamix for over 15 years now and I love it. But I have been dying to upgrade it. I just feel like the one I have works so well still. But after seeing all the extra accessories, I am going to have to really consider upgrading. Thank you for this review.

You newbies are so funny! I bought my first VM before you were born, back when they were all metal, had reversible blades and used a converted saw motor with a wooden tamper. They have come a ways since, and I own one with programs that are completely useless unless one is an addict of electronic toys. However, it truly works no better than the ones from 40 years ago...

The best Vitamix is the 5200 standard series. It's the simplest, and can blend smaller portions a lot better than the other blenders, and large portions every bit as well.

I think vitamix do some reconditioned models on their website which could help cost down. I really want to invest in the vitamix , we use our cheaper blender at least once if not several times a day 365 days a year. My conscience would be better having a vitamix as the amount in my lifetime from blenders going to landfil would be tiny . Also the texture of the what it makes is amazing- restaurant quality. Can make anything frozen too. Normal blenders there is risk of breaking if put too much frozen in. Also the rate I get through normal blenders it would be cheaper over all to get vitamix

🙂 An expense to be sure. But definitely an investment. I brought my Vitamix in 2007, for around $800.00 Australian dollars. And used it pretty much every day since. Still works brilliantly and never been any issues or problems with it. Jar is a bit stained now, but motor still runs like a dream. Edit: Don't freak out at $800 - everything is expensive in Oz, as have to import from USA.
