We did it. Well, actually I did it. I've been obsessing over one of these for the better part of 2 years......

Yup. That's right. The big daddy of blenders, the Vitamix. I strolled (or as mom said, skipped) through Costco with a wad of cash ready to buy the basic Vitamix. But, when I saw the new version demo, I knew I had to have the latest and greatest. Preset timer settings for smoothies, ice treats, and soups? Gotta have it. No question. After some internal debating and a phone call to the hubster, (and of course his usual response "get whatever you want my love") the Vitamix 6300 was in the cart. If you wanna look this bad boy up - just know I did NOT pay the amount on the website. I did get a deal. The purchase at the end was upwards of $500, but I don't care. My mom thinks I'm insane, as does my husband but he wants to make me happy. ;-)
In honor of my new purchase and the multiple people who have asked me what would possess me to buy a blender this expensive, I'll post a new series on my blog - The 7 Days of Vitamix. I'll share recipes I've either made up myself and/or out of one of the many recipe books/websites available. Of course, nothing short of driving to your house and firing it up in your house will truly show how awesome this thing is, but I'll give it a try anyways!
We have a Blendtec and I was super nervous about buying a blender that cost THAT MUCH. But it was probably the best purchase we've made. Because it is a powerful and smart blender (as is the Vitamix) we never have to worry about it getting stuck on ice, etc. and that we can add ingredients, push the button, finish doing what we were doing and the dish is ready (mostly thinking about an all fruit smoothie in the morning). It was expensive but we don't have to worry about a cheaper blender falling apart or not doing everything we'd like and possibly getting another appliance.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got your Vitamix! I hope it stays on your counter in the ready position for a long time 😊
