  If this is their flagship, I'd hate to try the entry level.

  $1000 for a flagship blender that can't blend 3 cups of ice.... Are you f'in kidding me? Don't bother...build quality is poor, including the plastic hollow 'tamper' they provide, the preset symbols all the look the same with no text, so selecting the wrong one is likely to be a common occurrence. Tried multiple blends and the 'vortex' that they keep talking about, rarely appears and it pretty much demands that everything gets jammed down to the blades with the plastic kids nightstick from the dollar store.

  Undecided

  I’m not sure yet because I haven’t used it but right off the bat I’m not impressed at all with the tamper. It looks and feels like a kids toy. It reminds me of a kids bowling set pin. Unbelievable for a product this expensive to have a part that’s so cheaply made and looks ridiculous!

  Not so reliable.

  Stopped working in 1 month. The company asked me send it back for repair and incur the cost of shipping. I was aghast and spent the same my to return the product for a full refund

  Mélangeur efficace !

  J'avais l'ancien modèle qui allait tout aussi bien que j'ai payé beaucoup moins cher mais l'ai donné à ma nièce en cadeau!Alors il va super bien mais pas nécessaire d'avoir le modèle le plus cher !!!

  I expected a bit more for the price range

  Pros:- sturdy bottom part of the blender with simple attachment that does not require screwing or turning into proper position- simplicity of control panel- blade that you cannot cut yourself on- self-cleaning programCons:- as much as I like the simplicity of control panel, I don't like the menu icons that are very similar and it's hard to remember which one is for what program- also it takes too long for blender to boot up after turning on the main switch- to start blending I have to press the start button twice- thin plastic container that doesn't belong on expensive blender, hard to clean if you need to do it manually- burning new smell on higher speeds (initially I thought it will go away, but now I've been using it for a month and it's still there)- when I put in harder vegetable, it wouldn't spin, even on higher power- low quality plastic tamper, that needs to be used quite often, but it still gets pretty messy- tamper holder mount next to main on/off switch makes it hard to access the switch, and it holds tamper too tight- no replace or return if damagedOverall for the price of blender I would accept only one minor con.

  Excellent performance

  I have no complaint about the blender. It’s a Vitamix Blender, and I expected excellent performance.

  Jet Engine In My Kitchen

  This thing is a monster. I had an old Vitamix, but I burned up the motor trying to make almond butter (don't ask) so I had to get a new one. Anyway, we use our Vitamix daily and although they're obnoxiously expensive, they're worth it. So I decided to buy the most powerful one they offer and this is it (and it has had no trouble making almond butter). It's not exactly quiet (hence the title of this review), but I guess that's to be expected considering its power. I'm confident this one will be passed to my heirs upon my death because I expect it to last that long. The one I burned up was a solid 15 years old and it got a daily workout, but it was one of their lower-end models.
