What I Like About The Vitamix Blender

October 26th, 2010 by

There are so many things that I like about the Vitamix blender. Its power is amazing and the fact that it allows us to consume whole foods as a drink is great. The cost of the machine in the first place is expensive. I am sure everyone will agree with that. But it is a piece of high quality engineering that should last for a long time and during that time will help you have a profound impact upon your own health. Many people who follow a raw food diet use this machine because it is so effective at preparing raw meals.

If you decide to invest in the Vitamix CIA Professional that is available from Amazon, or the Vitamix 5200, which you can purchase direct from the Vitamix website. Even though these machines have different names, they are actually the the same device. They are packaged differently and come with different recipe books and a DVD so there is a difference but just not in the unit itself. A kitchen appliance like this is definitely a major investment in both financial terms and in your own health.

People who own one of these kitchen appliances are able to be a bit more economical with the produce that they juice/blend. This is for the simple fact that unlike juicers which extract the juice from the pulp which becomes waste, with a Vitamix blender, there is no waste. The pulp becomes part of the juice. It is because the blender is so powerful that this can happen. The blades at the base of the blending jug can rotate at a maximum speed of 240 mph. They are powered by a 2 horsepower motor. This means that all the fruits and vegetables that you add to the machine will be completely blended to a smooth juice for you to enjoy.

Vitamix Blender Review

The Vitamix 5200 or CIA Professional as it is also known is possibly the most expensive blender on the market today. It is used heavily in restaurant kitchens as well as some cocktail bars. Now a days, more and more people are deciding to use this machine in their homes too. The reason for this is that a Vitamix blender can be a great kitchen appliance to help us stay in the best physical condition. This is because with this machine it is so easy to make the most nutritious and great tasting fruit and vegetable juices and smoothies. If you are considering following a raw food diet then you have probably already heard about this machine. The hard part can be in justifying the expense. But one way to look at it, which is what I am doing just now, is that, yes it is expensive but it is possibly one of the best investments that we could make in ourselves as possible.

What do I mean by this? Well, our own health is in many respects the most important thing for us to have a good life. A Vitamix blender can really help in this regard. So if we have to spend $500, don’t think that it is five hundred dollars on a blender, rather, you are investing five hundred dollars in yourself. And when you make an investment, you expect a return. So I believe that when I get my Vitamix blender, my life will improve by more than $500.

This sort of blender can deal with whatever we add to them. It has a variable speed setting so after adding our fruit and vegetables we start off slow and gradually increase the speed until all of the ingredients have been turned to a liquid. Then just pour the juice into a glass and you are ready to go. Cleaning the machine is so easy too. All we have to do is add some water, put the lid back on and then blend it up for a few seconds before rinsing it out.

Another thing that I like about this device is that it is produced in the United States by a U.S. owned company.

Vitamix Blender: What Is The Best Price?

October 23rd, 2010 by

I have decided that I have to get my hands on a Vitamix blender. But I am still a bit unsure of the different models. The Vitamix 5200 seems to be the latest version. While I would like the cost to be as low as possible, it seems that from all the available information online that I have uncovered so far, Vitamix blenders are the best that you can get. Therefore this is the make that I have to get. To get the best price for one of these devices, there are a few places that you should compare prices. Amazon are well known for their low prices on a wide range of household appliances. There is also the Vitamix homepage where you can purchase direct from the manufacturer. I have yet to decide where I shall get mine from.

The reason I want to get one of these blenders is because I have read customer reviews and while not everyone is happy about the price, it seems that everyone who uses one of these products is more than satisfied with its performance. I hope to join the ranks of happy customers sooner rather than later. Being able to drink all the green goodness of vegetables like kale and spinach is getting me so excited.

In many ways, this type of blender is better than the many fruit and vegetable juicers that are on the market today. When we compare a Vitamix blender with the Green Star GS-1000 juicer for example, we see that it is not all that much more expensive. But the juices that it can create are even more nutritious. Both of these machines have lots of other food processing needs so offer more than just the one function.
