Hands down, the Vitamix is absolutely the best and lasts lifetime or two. There are people who’ve passed on their old ones to grown kids or other family members and they’re still going strong. Theyre American made and the company really stands behind their product.
If you read user reviews on the magic bullet you’ll see that they break down; some much sooner than others.
If you just want to see if daily smoothies is something you’d be doing then NB is a good starter system as long as your exexpectations are realistic it’s rare that they’re still working in a years time and they really can’t handle healthy ingredients like Kale, pineapple, or other fibrous veggies.
If you just want to do simple milkshakes and stuff then they’re fine.
But if byou want an amazing machine that will do everything short of tying your shoes, then a Vitamix is worth it. It can grind whole grains, coffee, make hot soup, knead bread and pulverized anything with no chunks left over.
I just recently got the two speed model with the extra dry grind container on special at QVC and they still have that package available.
I have yet to see any negative comments about them (other than price) and ive been researching them for about a year so this wasnt an impulse buy for me. I knew that I wanted to rock whole grain grinding so when this one came up at a good price I pulled the trigger. And I’m really glad I did.
