I bought this unit before Xmas. I enjoy it and use it to make my smoothie everyday!!! Blend the fruits and veggie very well and easy to clean the cup and mug after use:)

My son bought one of these - the larger model which we have had in the family for more than seven years, when I left to work abroad I decided to buy a different brand (purely for cost effectiveness) only to find that two machines later, I opted for the Vita Mix, secure in the knowledge that it will last me for at least seven years with the no quibble guarantee. It is efficient, easy to clean and the size means I can sit it comfortably on the kitchen counter without it taking up too much space. I use it mainly for smoothies every day and soups - I haven't tried the recipes yet but they look quite simple. Excellent product and worth the price.

My Vitamix S30 was a gift from my daughter &SiL. I had so admired theirs.The smaller S30 is perfect for One Person. I use it every day to make a smoothy of raw vegetables and fruit, so I can keep up with the new Canada Food Guide. I haven't found anything it will not render SMOOTH unlike all the others I have tried over the years (and I'm 73 so that's a lot of years!).
