An extraordinary machine, there's nothing typical about a Vitamix and it's so much more than a simple blender. Not only does the Vitamix release more of the nutritional value of foods by tearing down the cell walls of fruits and vegetables, but the more than 50 kitchen tasks that it can do will unleash your creativity.
The breakdown of foods is enabled by the Vitamix's impressive power and laser-cut blades. Peels, pulp and seeds are all pulverized, which makes them readily available to your body. This is why Vitamix and many others consider the machine a "Total Nutrition Centre" rather than merely a blender.
A Vitamix's blades can go a whopping 386 km an hour, so they produce heat as they whir through the ingredients. This means that you can make soup or even cook scrambled eggs with the machine. At the other end of the scale, those blades work so quickly that short bursts will do the trick on ingredients if one is looking to make frozen desserts (in other words, the work is done so quickly that no melting occurs).
The possibilities are endless with the Vitamix: soups, frozen drinks, sauces, dressings, fondues, batters and the ever-popular smoothies. The machine's capabilities include chopping, creaming, blending, cooking (yes, cooking), crushing, whipping and pureeing. Please keep in mind that all of this is done thoroughly and to the point where the nutrients are brought out.
The blades are fixed in the Vitamix's container, so there are no fiddly parts to contend with; it's a very solid unit. Giving the user an extra level of control over ingredients is the included tamper.
Finally, a nice little bonus is that the machine can clean itself. Merely put some water into the container, add a couple of drops of detergent and then let those heat-producing blades do their thing.
Not only is a Vitamix the last blender you have to buy, but it'll go way beyond and above what you'd normally expect from such a machine, and your expectations from kitchen appliances will be heightened.
