You didn’t use the vitamix correctly. You first start off at a low speed and then ramp it to 10 slowly so it makes things smooth. After that you blast it on max so it cuts the products at a molecular level. Yes a vitamix can do that. Again you’re a complete and total jabronie who didn’t use it right.

It depends if the brand you have offers replacement. Generic ones are dangerous. I once saw a video of a blender with shattered blades...and you won't see pieces of metal in your smoothie.
I bought the vitamix for drinks and now I use it mostly for soup. It's so powerful that a 5 minute spin actually heats soup to steaming hot via friction.
I understand the price can be off-putting to some, but you can't understate the importance of smoothness when making something like an almond butter, where texture is paramount. They are pricey but 100% worth it

i have that vitamix blender. the difference lies no in its blending a single smoothie performance, but in blending many. your old blender will overheat and die before it does a hundred smoothies in an hour. the vitamix will chow through it all day with no significant issues. did you get the one with the heating element in it too? that way you can make quick soups on it.
Dude, parents buy a lot of expensive stuff, they're easier to fool since they're old, and sometimes they buy jt despite of price because their friends have it.
Cook's Illustrated had an interesting article on blenders. They concluded that what makes Vitamix blenders good is the tall and narrow blender container that is only found on the 5200 blenders. The shorter containers were created much later because customers complained about their blenders not fitting under their cabinets on but it doesn't blend as well. I had a cheap blender for awhile as well, and I'll say the biggest difference I notice is that cheaper blenders give off a weird plastic smell to whatever their blending. For that alone I'd invest in a better blender but you don't need to get a $400 one, but the best ones, like Blendtec or Breville are all about the same price anyway (~$400).
Not sure if it’s the same for other blenders, but the Vitamix instructions specifically state to add liquids first for best results. I use mine this way and it’s phenomenal. Not a waste.
nah compared to ninja theyre ass and 3-4x more expensive if not more. watch will tennysons video on it. he was making protein ice cream and broke his vitamin because it didn’t have enough power to blend it but the ninja did it easily
@@ericweese4279 nah, I had a ninja for 3 years and the hatches and accessories already broke and had to throw it away, their construction is awful and the blending isn’t any better
I've used vitamixes alot as a chef. A huge bennefit is the longevity of the blender amd amazing customer service. I've seen blender be put through non stop use for over 20 years and still be good as new.
Smoothness in a smoothie is paramount! I don't care for expensive things in general, but I would never give up my Vitamix, it's worth every penny, especially if you also want to add greens to your smoothie. It turns kale into milk.
Ah yes a years old blender vs a brand new vitamix, no shit the vitamix worked better. For $400, the difference is pitifully small. All he had to do was replace the blades on his old blender and it would've been on par with the vitamix. Maybe a little worse as the motor is also old.

@@Buck_Fiden658 vitamix is crazily durable. Im baffled with vlad saying he was wasting money on it while clearly it worked without the need of spoon lol.
@@harukrentz435 well we don't know the durability of the product he has. If it works only slightly better replacing the blades may make it just as good in making smoothies. Only time will tell if paying $40 for a machine or $400 is the better deal. I've had some "lesser" brands outlast name brand with LOTS of workload. Roper is a whirlpool wahing machine subsidiary. The one we had as a kid lasted 2 adults with 4 kids all thru school, after and replaced the one at my elderly family's home we were caring for when theirs went out. So 2 adults and 4 kids for years then elderly cleaning (extra bed cleaning and pull pads) for several more. And lasted about 30 YEARS with no maintainence. I bought a roper as an adult! Lol
If I’m correct the it’s the square shape of the blender that makes the ingredients easily fall downwards. Instead of a spiral, it have space to fall down in the cornders
I would get it just for the fact it crushes ice efficiently and doesn't require further mixing like the older one, as that is all I ever want out of a blender, and none of the ones I have ever owned have properly blended things without me needing to intervene
Vitamix blenders last long if you use them once or twice a month. Use it every day, and that lifetime shortens down to about 5 years. I’ve used these in restaurant kitchens and after a couple of years of everyday use, the motors start to give. They overheat quite often.
@@eyespy3001 Maybe they improved now? I don't have these but quality blenders are really good. If only companies do not have the "planned obsolescence", the Oyster blender that was in the family, I don't know since when, still works really well.
@@LVX- I think, if anything, Vitamix blenders I’ve gotten worse. In the commercial culinary world, products and ideas start in the commercial sector, then get trickled down and redesigned for the consumer market. Vitamix blenders started as commercial kitchen tanks. As the popularity of cooking grew, and home cooks wanted the fancy commercial stuff, the demand for a consumer-grade Vitamix grew. It grew so much that Vitamix had to start cutting corners in their production- cheaper parts and faster production. This is why the price dropped from $600 to ~$400. It’s also the reason they don’t last as long anymore. High demand is the killer of quality.
@@eyespy3001 Have you seen this? In electronics, I know that this happens so you are forced to buy a new phone or PC. ruclips.net/video/j5v8D-alAKE/видео.html P.S. Vitamix brand is also not that well known outside of America. Quality blender brands that are usually popular outside of the US are Oster (lol, called it Oyster before), KitchenAid, (plus all those old well known brands).
The main difference is the shape and size of the blender jug the $400 one was a square and much wider than the cheaper one which ment that more could get to the blades at the bottom unlike the funnel like cheaper one and hence the wooden spoon was needed to push them down. The ice for example at its size could not fit in the gap where it would be crushed on the funnel like blender so it only got scratched whilst they could fully fit into the gap on the square blender and get crushed.
Yeah, if you can afford the expense, Vitamix is the blender to buy for a reason: it's just superior. Faster blend times, smoother consistency, better handling of items that like to clump, and a stick to push the ingredients down into the blades that is specifically designed to be used with the lid so that you can't actually get it to touch the blades themselves. It's basically the best blender you can buy for consumer applications. And I haven't even mentioned that the motor is so overpowered that you can actually blend things until they get hot just from friction, so you can make smooth soups from raw ingredients in your blender and they come out hot. Pretty incredible.
It completely depends on the use case. Vitamix is used in professional kitchens because they can stand up to being used and abused for hours on end every single day, from blending soups and purees at boiling temperature, to crushing ice, to making powder out of seeds or peppercorns, to making nut butters or sorbet or shakes/smoothies. It's not for everyone, but it's worth the price.
Not a waste, Vitamixes do a pretty amazing job with most blending things. I’ve used it for everything from smoothies to pesto to soups and it’s super consistent and pretty durable as well
I’m sure the other comments have already pointed this out, but the vitamix is superior in every way to normal blenders! Your sauces and drinks will have the best consistency
Idk man, the 7 year warrantee comes in pretty handy and has saved me a lot of money over the years. The fact the blenders usually make it longer than that makes it even more worth it. Not to mention they blend well enough their recipe book has ice cream recipes. It also blends fast enough it has recipes for hot soup.
That's the exact blender we have. My dad was the head chef in a Kitchen and he got it from there. He told me it was expensive, but I didn't know how much it actually cost. I'm grateful.
My family has had the same VitaMix 5200 for over 10 years. You can fill that thing to the top with frozen fruit and ice and it will liquefy it no problem. It's loud, but basically indestructible and I'm convinced you could use it to mix concrete. Definitely not a waste of money for being able to blend anything you can think of better than another blender safely. And you won't have to get a new one ever
Vitamix is so powerful you can make soup right in the blender. Steaming hot. Other things vitamix can do: nut butters, hummus and other dips, dough, smoothies, homemade mayo… it’s a phenomenal product imo
You can get them reconditioned straight from Vitamix for $330. Worth every penny. I've had mine for about 5 years now. You can actually cook soup in a high powered blender. The motor is substantially more powerful.
My parents own a Vitamix, and another reason why they are so costly is that they are immortal. My parents have had the same one for about 8 years before we need to get a new mixer top, the base still works incredible well even after 8 years
I got a vitamix. They are wild. They literally are so powerful that you can cook things like tomato soup in them just by leaving it on full power for a couple minutes max.
I have a blender very similar to that Vitamix. It is good because it can grind just about anything with ease, but it is so loud that you should use earplugs.
I have a blender that my mum handed to me from 1987 and it still works pretty good. Only an on and off feature but it's makes pretty smooth smoothies still haha
Those vitamixes are often given out to contestants on Hells Kitchen if they make enough progress, they're really great for purees because of that smooth texture you mentioned.
Obviously the taste is gonna be the same since its all the same ingredients, but the difference is probably in texture and the ammount of work you put into making it
Try making nut butter in that thing and then tell me difference. Plus time to make and consistency is a plus if you wanna make something quickly and get back to whatever you were doing. I love the Vitamix especially for smoothies lol
The blender depends entirely on what it will be Used For. If its Just for Drinks then the one you have is Fine, but if your planning on using it for a House Blender as well as a Drink Blender, I understand why they Suggested other types. As for a Multi Function, I would got with the Ninja Blender due to its interchangable heads.
It's expensive, but visibly better, and required no finagling with it. I think for your uses it was worth it. In this blender you can even control smoothness.
If you own a bar, just not having to stick a spoon in it to help it blend is worth 400$ several times over! Just in time not wasted, it'll pay for it self in a couple of months - even faster if your bartenders used the "blender is broken" lie when people ordered frozen drinks.
Imagine if Vlad had like a replica of "the thang" blender from Splatoon 2, with the RGB and all, to make his cocktails...that would be so damn rad haha
The new blender should have come with a tamper thing. Vitamix is on of the best out there. Yes pricey but so good. The consistency is much better than the cheap ones
The take away here is that it won't make the drink different but if you're in a professional capacity where you need drinks fast then this is 100% worth it because it cut up those drink instantly with ease and little external help while the other one you had to continously move around the contents to make sure they reached the bottom and got cut up which also leaves less consistent drinks which is what's bad from a service stand point. Fine if you make drinks just for yourself and don't care about these drawbacks but completely unacceptable in a professional setting if you ask me.
The blender in the video was a blender my dad bought but then returned it. I have a blender that is under 200 dollars and it's really good for the price because it comes with lids to use the blender cup as a normal cup and gives you a big blender cup to blend a lot of stuff but if you need to blend something for yourself, it has a smaller blender cup

It completely depends on the use case. Vitamix is used in professional kitchens because they can stand up to being used and abused for hours on end every single day, from blending soups and purees at boiling temperature, to crushing ice, to making powder out of seeds or peppercorns, to making nut butters or sorbet or shakes/smoothies.
It's not for everyone, but it's worth the price.
You wasted money again?! Stop talking with my EX dude 😅
I have a vitamix in the bar for close to 10 years now never had any issues or breakage, money well spent
Not a waste, Vitamixes do a pretty amazing job with most blending things. I’ve used it for everything from smoothies to pesto to soups and it’s super consistent and pretty durable as well
Your voice is the best asmr in the world
I love the honesty
I’m sure the other comments have already pointed this out, but the vitamix is superior in every way to normal blenders! Your sauces and drinks will have the best consistency
Idk man, the 7 year warrantee comes in pretty handy and has saved me a lot of money over the years. The fact the blenders usually make it longer than that makes it even more worth it.
Not to mention they blend well enough their recipe book has ice cream recipes. It also blends fast enough it has recipes for hot soup.
That's the exact blender we have. My dad was the head chef in a Kitchen and he got it from there. He told me it was expensive, but I didn't know how much it actually cost. I'm grateful.
My family has had the same VitaMix 5200 for over 10 years. You can fill that thing to the top with frozen fruit and ice and it will liquefy it no problem. It's loud, but basically indestructible and I'm convinced you could use it to mix concrete. Definitely not a waste of money for being able to blend anything you can think of better than another blender safely. And you won't have to get a new one ever
You’re voice is so relaxing
Vitamix is so powerful you can make soup right in the blender. Steaming hot.
Other things vitamix can do: nut butters, hummus and other dips, dough, smoothies, homemade mayo… it’s a phenomenal product imo
You can get them reconditioned straight from Vitamix for $330. Worth every penny. I've had mine for about 5 years now. You can actually cook soup in a high powered blender. The motor is substantially more powerful.
Vitamix is soo good and reliable. For me It was worth it.
The smoothie settings make perfect smoothie every single time 🤩 .
Those vitamix blenders are beasts. Powerful and durable as hell from what I know. The Volcano Vaporizer of blenders.
Transitions in this video are as smooth as Tennessee Whiskey.
Da king is back baby he neva miss
Honestly , vitamix is one of the most used appliances in my kitchen, it's really good
Old school is always better for me even tho the new one is better I have a soft place for the old stuff
What makes blender expensive is whether or not the motor that turns the blade are of great quality that can spin really fast
Vitamix definitely best for commercial and never breaks and if it does can be repaired easily
My parents own a Vitamix, and another reason why they are so costly is that they are immortal. My parents have had the same one for about 8 years before we need to get a new mixer top, the base still works incredible well even after 8 years
I got a vitamix. They are wild. They literally are so powerful that you can cook things like tomato soup in them just by leaving it on full power for a couple minutes max.
The blender i used was so complicated that it took me one month to understand how it works and the only thing came out from that was a 3d model
You're such a good video creator
I have a blender very similar to that Vitamix. It is good because it can grind just about anything with ease, but it is so loud that you should use earplugs.
I have the same vitamix and it really help with the speed you can make good smoothies at imo
I have a blender that my mum handed to me from 1987 and it still works pretty good. Only an on and off feature but it's makes pretty smooth smoothies still haha
Great video… the black and decker quite blends just as well or better then the vitamix…
This man has the prettiest smile
Glad you made this..I've been looking for a great blender since I love to make drinks at home healthy ones.👍
it is not about buying expensive blender. it is about having the correct tools for your job.
Never been disappointed with my Vitamix and sometimes scared by how well it mixes.
Those vitamixes are often given out to contestants on Hells Kitchen if they make enough progress, they're really great for purees because of that smooth texture you mentioned.
Obviously the taste is gonna be the same since its all the same ingredients, but the difference is probably in texture and the ammount of work you put into making it
Try making nut butter in that thing and then tell me difference. Plus time to make and consistency is a plus if you wanna make something quickly and get back to whatever you were doing. I love the Vitamix especially for smoothies lol
I’m having a screaming bleeding diarrhea blowout, but this video is helping me get through it
The blender depends entirely on what it will be Used For.
If its Just for Drinks then the one you have is Fine, but if your planning on using it for a House Blender as well as a Drink Blender, I understand why they Suggested other types. As for a Multi Function, I would got with the Ninja Blender due to its interchangable heads.
It's expensive, but visibly better, and required no finagling with it. I think for your uses it was worth it. In this blender you can even control smoothness.
If you own a bar, just not having to stick a spoon in it to help it blend is worth 400$ several times over! Just in time not wasted, it'll pay for it self in a couple of months - even faster if your bartenders used the "blender is broken" lie when people ordered frozen drinks.
Imagine if Vlad had like a replica of "the thang" blender from Splatoon 2, with the RGB and all, to make his cocktails...that would be so damn rad haha
The new blender should have come with a tamper thing. Vitamix is on of the best out there. Yes pricey but so good. The consistency is much better than the cheap ones
The take away here is that it won't make the drink different but if you're in a professional capacity where you need drinks fast then this is 100% worth it because it cut up those drink instantly with ease and little external help while the other one you had to continously move around the contents to make sure they reached the bottom and got cut up which also leaves less consistent drinks which is what's bad from a service stand point. Fine if you make drinks just for yourself and don't care about these drawbacks but completely unacceptable in a professional setting if you ask me.
The blender in the video was a blender my dad bought but then returned it. I have a blender that is under 200 dollars and it's really good for the price because it comes with lids to use the blender cup as a normal cup and gives you a big blender cup to blend a lot of stuff but if you need to blend something for yourself, it has a smaller blender cup
Think it depends if a person like smoother textures if its good or trash for them. I like smoother smoothies 😃
