Wed, 2 Apr 2008 22:11:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author martyinla - 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...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author croquemadame - They’ve been doing demos of this blender at CostCo every few months, for the past year, and I finally succumbed to the urge.

Vitamix 5000 Variable-Speed Blender: Not worth a penny

Sat, 25 Feb 2006 15:55:19 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mausezahn - We bought the Vitamix 5000 about 1 1/2 years ago. Since then we had only trouble with the machine. With the easiest load the motor shuts off and I have to put it in the fridge, because it gets overheated. Despite returning it 3 times for repair the...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author oritm01 - We use this machine every day. The company will back this product 100%. Have this product for over 8 years. Had to service it once after 6 1/2 years (still covered by guarantee). Sent me a loner because the machine was not fixed 100%. Sent the...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author leo-max - Ok...I saw this Vitamix 5000 blender about 8 months before at Cost-Co, and loved the idea. Thought the price was too much, and I did not want to get suckered. I spent the next several months researching this product, and looking at the company's...

Vitamix 5000 Variable-Speed Blender: The Best Machine Made!

Wed, 27 Oct 2004 23:16:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author okbound - I use this blender everyday! Mostly for making smoothies (it makes smoothies as good as Jamba Juice) but I have also made soup, sauces and icecream with my Vitamix 5000. I did try to knead bread in my machine and it overheated (luckily the Vitamix...

Vitamix 5000 Variable-Speed Blender: Vita-Mix...You Inspire Me!!!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sophy26 - 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...

Sat, 24 Jul 2004 18:04:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author telleroftruth - 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...

Vitamix 5000 Variable-Speed Blender: Worth every penny

Fri, 3 Oct 2003 23:51:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author moodindigo - We have had a Vita-Mix 5000 for several years now. I guess I am one of those who are of the opinion that only the best is good enough, or that having something that does MORE than you really need it to is better than having something that just does "enoug...

Vitamix 5000 Variable-Speed Blender: Not an intelligent choice

Thu, 14 Mar 2002 18:17:28 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mathmaticus - Actually, if you know something about motors and electricity, this will make sense. The Vitamix simply uses too much electricity at 11 Amps. The result is similar to an airplane in which the powerplant is too large for the mainframe. The result is...

Vitamix 5000 Variable-Speed Blender: This blender collects dust

Thu, 7 Feb 2002 11:47:39 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author sprgtime - Before I start my review, I'd like to state that I did not buy this machine. A relative did, but rarely used it. When they moved, it was left in our keeping.

So we got the demo video, the recipe books, and both the wet and dry containers...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author katopasna - 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...

My wife might be what you could call a Snake Oil connoisseur. She’ll buy just about anything that claims to make a job easier, faster, or cheaper. Maybe she has a thing for the fantastic claims or maybe she just likes the fantasy of buying...

Vitamix 5000 Variable-Speed Blender: God made the Vita-Mix on the 8th day!

Mon, 6 Aug 2001 17:41:39 GMT
rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author loree4 - I watched the Quick-Start video that came with the Vita-Mix before I used it. Halfway through I was laughing like a mad woman. Oh my, the demonstrator threw in fruit whole along with ice, etc. and out came juice with NO pulp to toss. I'm really...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dr427 - We started shopping for a new blender when our son turned 3 months old. I knew I was going to make all my own baby food, and I knew most of that was going to take a blender. My old blender simply would not work for the amount of work I had in store...

Sun, 24 Dec 2000 12:34:24 GMT
rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author beardconsumer - I bought this product because of its ability to totally liquefy whole fruits and vegetables. There isn't another product that I know of that can do this and leave in the fiber.

I love it because I can make healthy drinks and feel like I'm...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author CharleenT - Want to add more natural vegies and fruit to your diet? Definately, consider a VitaMix! I considered purchasing a 'flimsy' $100 blender, and did. But hated the fact that it looked like it would break down after a year (ie. the push buttons jiggled when...
