Product DescriptionNow this is literally a workhorse (actually 2+ workhorses) of a blender! The winning combination of a commercial quality powerful motor and a blade design that sucks the ingredients in for incredibly thorough blending, results in smooth, uniform consistency. It has a standout warranty, and an unbreakable jar with generous capacity. Easy to clean and with no parts to assemble, this is the penultimate blender.

Great Product
If you enjoy fruit or green smoothies you will want to get this Vita-Mix, it grinds up whole fruits and vegetables easily and effortlessly. Enjoy!
Worth every penny!
OK, so I know you're thinking "do I really need to spend $350+ on a blender?" Well if it was just an ordinary blender, I'd agree. But, this is no ordinary blender. This is a blender/food processor/spice chopper/ice chopper/smoothy maker etc.. all in one. It grinds seeds and grains into flour, literally in seconds. I buy whole wheat berries and throw them into the' Turboblend' for a few seconds until it turns into a flour then add a little olive oil and water and make delicious flat breads on the stove.(bread that is actually good for you!) When you blend raisins or apples or anything for that matter, it blends to such a smooth consistency that there are no chunks or pieces left. Of course if you want it left chunky just blend it for less time. ... Read More
I'm blending away a storm
Can't say enough good things about my Vita Mix other than I use it every day since I started to make better and healthier choices for me and my family.
It's a must for smoothies and protein shakes not to mention home made salad dressings, soups, etc, etc. You will never regret the purchase and find tons of uses for it - I know I do.
Good Blender
Good blender that was worth the price. It was delivered on a timely basis and we didn't have any problems.
Overrated
Vita-Mix 1300 TurboBlend 4500 simply doesn't live up to the hype. I purchased one after agonizing over the decision between the vitamix or the blendtec for nearly a year. I decided to go with the vitamix, largely because of their reputation as being "good enough" and having an outstanding warranty. Well, in retrospect, I wish I had gone with the blendtec. On the plus side, the vitamix isn't very loud - it's about as obnoxious as a vacuum cleaner, but it's not ear-damaging-horrible. On the minus side, it simply doesn't work as well as people make out. You still have strawberry seeds in smoothies, you still have issues with cavitation, you still have to cut apples into small chunks or they get stuck to the blade and don't blend, etc. The container is well ...
