Vitamix Recipes and Info (2)


I love my Vitamix. Hands down worth every cent spent on it. I think ninety-nine percent of Vitamix owners will agree with me. And their generations of family members that old machines have been handed down to- because a Vitamix lasts a really long time. Your Vitamix will become a family heirloom.

Personally, I use my Vitamix almost daily even after having owned it for over four years. I make soups, smoothies, mixed drinks, desserts, and even nut butters and nut milks.

Knowing every ingredient that you are consuming is so important in eating a healthy diet. This is made possible only by finding a motivating a delicious way to make food at home.

Since I have been eating healthy I have never felt better and will never go back to the processed way. But even if you are taking smaller steps to improve your own diet, a Vitamix is the perfect tool to assist. When foods are easy, fun, and simple to make it's all that more appealing to eat well.

Most dishes that are made in the Vitamix range from taking just a few seconds (smoothies and salsas) to around eight minutes (soups) from start to finish. Since the Vitamix replaces about seven other kitchen tools (food processor, blender, baby food maker, margarita machine, etc.) there is much less clean-up at the end of it all as well and storage is never an issue.

The Vitamix becomes it's own dishwasher with just a few cups of water and a few drops of dish soap. Meals can literally be made and cleaned up within minutes.

So have you decided to make the purchase yet?

It helps to know that the machines come with a 30-day money back guarantee. So if for any reason you feel within the first month that Vitamix just isn't for you, send it back for a full refund. On top of this each new Vitamix comes with a 7 year full warranty from the Vitamix Corporation. Chances are you will not need to use it, but you can rest easy knowing your Vitamix is covered.

Plus, you have me. And the whole Vitamix community. I don't want you to just purchase a Vitamix through me and never use it. I want you to use it. Ten times a day. And email me (jadah at saltedpaleo.com) with questions or recipes or inquiries. I'm here to help you from day one to day 10,000 in your Vitamix journey.

Now which model?

For household use two machines are most recommended: The Vitamix 5200 and the Vitamix 7500

Vitamix Recipes and Info (3)

2 HP motor

10 Speed Variable Control

Choose either a 64oz Container or 48oz Container

DVD

Getting Started Guide

Recipe Book

Tamper

7 Year Warranty

Vitamix Recipes and Info (4)

2.2 HP motor (quieter than the 5200 model)

10 Speed Variable Control

Pulse Function

64oz Container (shorter and wider than 5200 model)

DVD

Getting Started Guide

Recipe Book

Tamper

7 Year Warranty

So naturally, I would suggest buying the Vitamix 7500 because it has the latest features, including a pulse button, and the full size 64oz container has been compacted to fit neatly under most upper cabinets.

What about discounted products?

Many people are unaware of the fact that Vitamix sells reconditioned products at discount prices!

These machines were either used at in-store demos or were sent back within the 30-day trial period. In either case, they were not used much at all.

What exactly makes a Vitamix machine reconditioned?

Once the box is opened, it can no longer be "new." Honestly, most of the machines were either store displays (never used) or returned because someone bought a Vitamix and changed their mind on what color or model they really wanted or they made an impulse buy on QVC and used their 30 day window to make the return. Rarely is there actually a defect in the product and after a thorough 13-point inspection at the factory, only mint conditioned machines are sealed with the reconditioned approval.

The recon machines come with a brand new container and accessories (cookbook and tamper). These reconditioned machines come with a full 5 year warranty backed by Vitamix Corporation, and just like the new ones, you have a 30-day trial period where you are guaranteed to love your Vitamix. With my code at Vitamix.com 06-006499 ground shipping is free.

Thinking about the other guy?

I have a friend who bought a Blentec. He said, (and I quote) "I wish I had bought a Vitamix."
Enough said.

Why buy through me?

Reconditioned machines are only available through the Vitamix website, and with my code you can always get free shipping.
