[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Love my keurig, immersion blender, toaster oven & kitchen aid mixer.

Tell me all the great things about a Vitamix because I just can't justify the expense.  What's the difference between it and a Blendtec?[/quote]

I don't know what a Blendtec is, but I LOVE my Vitamix.  We used to juice a lot - but juicers throw out the healthiest part of the fruits and vegetables.  And you can't really make good veggie drinks besides carrot/beet juice.

I use my Vitamix daily to make veggie drinks.  I really don't like sweet fruit smoothies, but I love savory veggie drinks.  I always use tomatoes or carrots as a base, then add everything from cukes, spinach, kale, chili peppers, bell peppers, celery, broccoli, beets.  I add water and ice and it just pulverizes everything into a smooth, pulp-free drink.  You can make it as thick or thin as you like by just adding more water.  A regular blender couldn't do that.  DH and I drink one every day for breakfast and we get at least 5 whole veggies in for the day.  It fills me up until lunch.  You can make soups in it too.  DH and DD make lots of fruit smoothies too.

There is a dry grind attachment which is good for grinding whole spices - which we do in our house for Indian cooking (DH is from India and in-laws come for extended periods of time).

It is very expensive, but like I said, we use it daily.[/quote]
