VITAMIX TURBOBLEND TWO SPEED

After burning up three average blenders in one year (Nutribullet, Ninja, and Oster), I decided to purchase a Vitamix. The other blenders absolutely do not compare. My Vitamix does all the things the other blenders were supposed to do. It makes eating healthy fun and enjoyable. I am most excited about the blender’s versatility and durability. I’m able to quickly whip up creamy peanut butter, raw desserts, smoothies, and delicious hot soups. I have never been more satisfied with any product in all my life. The Vitamix really does live up to its promises.
