I Got a Box
« Reply #-1 on: January 24, 2014, 05:45:39 PM »
Some time ago I put the word out I was looking for a new blender. I had many valuable responses from members. I spent many a night researching and UTubing (is that a word?) looking at all the different brands.

At last I decided on the Vitamix Pro 300. I wanted the blending power along with the low profile. Here we go.













This baby is huge compared to the old one,



I was worrying about how loud it would be but I had it cranked up and really it's no more noisy than my old one, I might even say it's not as loud.

Thanks for viewing :D

Pretty sure the new one could purée your old one. My neighbor has one, and it will liquefy a femur bone.

Awesome! You will love it CDN….

Be sure to try some of the soup making recipes. It made a believer out of me when I was able to pour in ingredients - and the Vita-Mix actually cooked the soup.

I could not bring myself to spend a lot of money on a blender (I should say "I value my life too much").

Actually it's my wife who made me buy it. The drugs she has been on are making it hard to swallow. I was blending in the old one but it was not doing a good enough job. Close friends have a Vitamix  so it was a easy sell :D

Seriously…those Vita-Mix blenders will make piping hot soup in about 5 minutes after adding room temp ingredients. Friction is a real physical effect……. ;)

Yeah, good buy Drew!  I've been eyeballing one of those for years, just haven't been able to pull the plug on it. Let us know how you like it.
Hope Mrs. CDN is improving each day!  :)
