Vitamix blenders are known for their powerful performance in breaking down tough ingredients with ease and their high-quality construction. These models are also long-lasting and easy to use. The main downsides of these blenders are that they can be expensive, heavy, and harder to clean than more compact options.
Vitamix blenders are powerful enough to pulverize a full container of ingredients. Then, when they start to blend down, you can add even more through the lid.
Vitamix Ascent Series blenders will not begin blending if the container isn't sitting properly on the base, or if the detachable blade base for the smaller containers isn't properly attached.
Vitamix machines should last up to ten years with proper care. They don't come with a lifetime warranty, so following care instructions is essential. Can you use a Vitamix as a food processor? Vitamix blenders can perform food processor functions like blending and chopping but can't slice or do more controlled tasks.
The blades in Vitamix containers never need to be sharpened. They are hammermill blades designed to pulverize, not slice. If you feel your blend quality has changed, there could be a different problem with your machine.
Why does my Vitamix machine smell like it's burning? Although all motors are tested at the Vitamix factory, heavy use will cause further curing of the motor windings in new machines. This curing gives off a burning smell and is typical for wound motors. This smell will quickly dissipate after a few heavy uses.
The following things cause premature wear of the blade assembly: Foreign objects in the container while blending. Removing or placing container on machine while drive socket is spinning. Operating the machine without the centering pad in place.
Opting to blend ensures you keep all the goodness of the produce in your smoothie, virtually eliminating waste. When you juice, you increase food waste as you end up throwing out the pulp. And because you can't separate all the juice from the pulp, you're also wasting some fresh, nutrient-rich juice.
