Comments on: I Wish I Had A Blender http://newgreenerfamily.com/i-wish-i-had-a-blender/ greening my family one day at a time Mon, 14 Jun 2010 16:29:44 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Summer http://newgreenerfamily.com/i-wish-i-had-a-blender/comment-page-1/#comment-74 Summer Sat, 09 Jan 2010 05:51:30 +0000 http://newgreenerfamily.com/?p=144#comment-74 Vitamix may very well be the most wonderful blender in the entire universe. However, I am deeply opposed to spending $500 on anything as frivolous as a blender and buying new when perfectly good used blenders are available. I would not buy a Porche, even though I am aware of what great cars they are. I would not buy a flat screen TV, even though I am aware of what great TVs they are. That $500 would be far better served by spending it to feed the poor, buy clothes for the homeless, or donating it to a worthy charity.

I used to have a good Cuisinart blender I thought it worked great UNTIL Vita-Mix was put in action, and you know what, THERE IS NO COMPARISON! It's like putting a KEA next to Cadillac and calling them the same. No wonder Vita-Mix is part of every raw fooder kitchen. Summer, if you ever try the Vita-Mix, you’ll know exactly what I mean.

Besides cost, it's in no way justifiable for me to buy a new kitchen gadget when there are still working used ones taking up space.

It's the best centrifugal juicer on the market and it's made of die cast iron, which will last you long, long time. The pulp is dry and it's easy to clean!

Thu, 07 Jan 2010 17:42:21 +0000 http://newgreenerfamily.com/?p=144#comment-70 Hon, get yourself a Vita-Mix and you'll never have to buy any other blender. I just got mine for my 30th birthday in December and already lost 10 lbs. just by drinking green smoothies! It's the most used gadget in our kitchen at least 3x a day. We love it! It's so worth the $500. It'll pay for itself in a couple of years of being absolutely healthy. P.S. I have a video on my blog opening the Vita-Mix. Check it out if you want to know what it looks like when it arrive to your home. :-) Hon, get yourself a Vita-Mix and you’ll never have to buy any other blender.

The first gift my husband ever got me - by request - was a rolling pin. It was exactly what I wanted and he got me a really nice one that I still have and use 15 years later. Over the years I've gotten a kitchen aid stand mixer, a food processor, a juicer, and various kitchen utensils - all by request. I guess I'm not a normal woman either. :0) This post made me laugh.
