Reply #1: I love my Vitamix

[The empressof all]

It did take some getting use to in the beginning with the loose fitting bottom --that's the way it's suppose to be. Honestly I can't imagine living without one now. I use it daily for green smoothies. Spinach, an apple, some almonds, ginger and water. We also make banana ice cream most every night now. Frozen bananas, Almond milk (or your choice of "creamy beverage") and a hit of cinnamon, agave and vanilla.

I also love to make veggie soups and just throw whatever is in the crisper and let it rip.
