Ok so we have learned now that Vitamix does not make good blenders. I am not sure why so many people seem to like them.
@pganssle
This seems to come out of nowhere... my Vitamix does the job. The motor is powerful enough for what I expect it to do.
Is there a masto thread that im missing?
@CleoQc Just first-hand experience. I got a Vitamix last month and it has not once successfully made a (frozen fruit) smoothie without stalling out, in addition to the normal problem most blenders have where the contents get all bunched up and the blades spin freely.
@pganssle In my experience, that can happen if there's not enough liquid. Are you trying to blend the frozen fruits on their own ?
@CleoQc TBH I may be pushing the limits of blender technology, but I do not want some watery fruit juice, I want a thick iced fruit slurry and I don't think that is too much to ask. Somehow the açai bowl places always manage to pull it off.
