TEXT:
I have had a VitaMix for at least 10 years. I still marvel at what a
great blender it is. This morning I blended up a bunch of chicken
bones, milk, and dry dog food. My dog loved it. I poured it over
some dry dog food and she eat it straight away, even though there was
already plenty of dry dog food in her bowl. VitaMix has a 7 year
warrantee. And even after seven years, repairs is incredibly easy.
One simply buys the part, somewhat inexpensively, from the company and
they send one the entire kit to fix the problem. I fixed a problem
recently in about 4 minutes. This is one first class company I would
like to work for.
There may be other companies that sell monster blenders. I don't
know. They may be just as good as VitaMix. VitaMix is a little
expensive. But I have spent about $500 over that past 11 years on
this blender, and I don't regret a penny. Our family must use it at
least 6 times a day.
The bottom line is that you are throwing away nutritious food when you
juice, and you may be throwing away good food when you throw it out,
rather than blend it up and eat it. In most cases, the pulp has more
nutrition than the juice, plus, the juice has exactly zero fiber.
Juicing has its place, since the nutrition "energy" to assimilation
"energy" ratio is excellent. One could even combine juicing with
VitaMixing. We almost always use some kind of liquid in the blender,
usually water or milk, when we blend. Why not use broccoli or tomato
or celery juice? This is for the true fanatic that has the time for
this sort of thing.
