"Vitamix Blender" star star star star star I use it a few times a week, I make Smoothies, whisk double cream in minutes, breadcrumbs, etc. I put all sponge ingredients in my Vitamix and bake a Victora Sponge cake which everybody loves.If it broke I would definitely have to replace it as and as some people say if there was a fire I would have to grab my Vitamix. I had seen lots of demonstrations and loved the fact that you can make natural ice-cream in minutes with just a few ingredients. I took a while to decide to purchase it because of the cost, but love my Vitamix. My sister and best friend both have one now too.
"WONDERFUL & POWERFUL BLENDER" star star star star star Love it!! so powerful that i can have my hot soup within 10 minutes.
"Fantastic Machine" star star star star star I had deliberated for a long time at paying out for such an expensive machine and now wish I had done so sooner. It's fantastic. One reviewer says she has to chop veg very small to "get them under the blade and able to blend." It is not a chopper but a blender. In any case you can actually drop veg in briefly on a low-ish setting and it will automatically chop it in a few seconds. Another complained about the Ascent model's 'plunger' being useless. It isn't a plunger, it's a tamper! Two totally different things.The tamper isn't used for scraping the sides. Lakeland should correct her on this.
"Disappointing" star star_border star_border star_border star_border This was it was a considered purchase but have to say that having used it daily for 6+ weeks I regret it. 1issue is that the lid doesn't screw on like most blenders but clips on and it is hard to get on correctly and even harder to get off - if you struggle with any hand issues this may not work for you. But main issues are the blades are small & very close to the bottom of the jug which means I have to chop things very small to get them under the blade and able to blend. Then by the time things have blended the motor is so powerful the mix had heated up-good for soup but not for anything else support_agent A note from the team We’re very sorry to hear the Vitamix wasn't suitable for you and will email shortly to help
