RE: Blender Recommendations - Vita Mix vs. Sumeet?

February 24, 2008

I am curious if anyone owns a Sumeet grinder. I have never used a Vitamix,

but it sounds like it would do the same thing. I have seen Sumeet “mixies”

for right around $200, and the Vitamixes seem to be quite a bit more. It

appears (but having used neither one I would not know) that the Vitamix can

be used as a blender more than the Sumeet could.

Anyone have any experience? I may have to ask on the Indian Cooking group...

Re: Blender Recommendations - Vita Mix

Yes, I have to echo this. When I first heard about a Vitamix (from

Judy, no less) and then heard the price, I thought _no way_!!! I

thought that was a ludicrous price for a BLENDER.

Then I needed make drastic changes to my health and I wanted to make

green smoothies which require a very strong blender. I bought a

Vitamix, gave my cheapie blender away, and never looked back.

If my house burned down and I had to replace everything, a Vitamix would

be one of the first things I'd replace. I use it every day, mostly to

make green smoothies, but also to puree soups, make flour (I grind

barley to make barley flour), make spice powders, and frozen " ice cream "

desserts (throw in frozen fruit, a tiny bit of liquid, some vanilla or a

date and, voila).

I am on the Vitamix and, over and over, am impressed by

their excellent customer service.

In fact, Vitamix also sells non-stick cookware that looks very

impressive. But it costs a LOT of money, so I've never tried it. But I

thought of it yesterday when I read the " Honestly " thread.

you look at Smoothie bars, they have a Vita-Mix. Makes the smoothie

smoothies out of fresh and frozen fruit with a little liquid added. Best

customer service EVER!
