I have wanted a Vita Mix for years. I broke down and bought an old used one on eBay for a little over 100 bucks. I reviewed all the different blenders, from the little $29 Osters that mix in a canning jar, which is cool and about all most people will ever need, to the newer competitors of Vita Mix like the Ninja and Blendtec. I know they may beat the Vita mix  in some areas, but I kept coming back to the Vita Mix. They have been making Vita Mix for decades. The model I bought first came out in 1969. People are still using them. Using them a lot.
 I did some checking, there are over 4 million Vita Mix that have been sold. The company has only 4 people in their repair department.
The other reason I got the Vita mix is if I ever decide to upgrade, Vita Mix will give me 100 dollar credit for this one.
 Finally, I wanted to do some experimenting in the kitchen, and don't know of a kitchen gadget that will allow me to do more .
 I said in the video I will not be making a lot of green smoothies, because so many people have already made good videos on the subject, but I will probably do some. I am hoping to do stuff that is not already been posted on YouTube concerning cooking with blenders like the vita mix. 
I just want to have a little fun trying some different stuff and hope you guys want to come along.

Thanks for watching and please forward if you like my videos, I am trying to grow the channel. I also have a playlist of food videos, some are mine and some are from others I like.
  have fun.
Robb
