Review Text: Amazing!. The Vitamix Professional Series is exactly what it says. It is a professional grade blender, that you will see in smoothie shops, with a whole lot of functionality. I'll have to admit, I was really sceptical that going back to a single level four blade design could out perform a multi-level six bladed blender tornado. But hands down, this blows my old blender away in many aspects. Starting with the build, this unit just feels durable and is not an eyesore to even leave on your counter. Your friends will be envious. I have dabble with healthy green smoothies before, but with my previous blender, you dont get a truly liquified smoothie as you do with the Vitamix. For my first smoothie, I used spinich, kale, flax seeds pear and grapes with skin, banana, ice and water and ran the unit for 60 seconds. The flax seeds along with the other vegetables were liquified completely. I was so used to having some seediness in my previous smoothies, this was a mind blowing surprise. I made this healthy drink twice that even my picky 6 yr old was begging for more. This unit comes with multiple pre programmed settings including self cleaning and heating soup. Soup in a blender seemed like a ridiculous idea but wow does this thing do a great job blending up the ingredients and heating your soup to a nice temperature all in roughly 6 min from the pre-program. I will say making soup will need a learning curve as the receipe called for adding precooked Chicken after the 6 mins of heating and blending for 15 additional seconds. To my surprise, the blender worked too well and the chicken was gone. So unfortunately, no chicks of chicken in my soup, but a good learning experience as well as solidifying how amazing this blender is. This unit comes with a good size recipe book and there are plenty of resources online. If you are not in a tight budget and want to make a real investment in a quality blender, this is the way to go. No complaints on quality and build. Do wish that it included some accessories for smaller blends.
