Vitamix
Vitamix base is not steady
Worth your money, but gets loud at higher speeds
tl;dr --- Pros: (1) Top-loading design prevents leaks from ruining the motor. (2) It features simple, durable analog controls. (3) It's quieter than bullet-style blenders at low speeds. Cons: (1) It still become noisy at higher speeds. --- To start, I find that this product blends sufficiently well. But I think performance should be a given for a blender sold at this price. So my reasons behind this positive review have more to do with the product's design than performance. I recommend this product over any blender where the blade assembly is at the bottom. With those bottom-blade blenders, gravity works against you: eventually, a leak occurs, drips down into the motor base, and ruins the appliance because you can't clean the electrical components safely. In that regard, this blender’s design is superior. Because the lid is at the top, if a leak were to happen (usually because the lid isn't locked tight), it'll spill over the container in the worst-case scenario, but it won't immediately spill into the motor. It's a much safer bet for longevity. Another design feature that I like is its analog control panel. Analog dials are generally more reliable, easier to fix, and don't glitch out like touchscreens can. For my daily use—mixing liquids with one or two solid ingredients—it does the job perfectly without overcomplicating things. The product is also significantly quieter than my old Nutribullet. But I can't give five stars because it still gets quite loud once you go past the speed setting of 4 (with the highest being 10).

Almost perfect
Love this blender, performs so much better than our last machine. Great for smoothies, pureeing, cleans up well. Using the dough hook on bread, it jumped around and we had to adjust the head screw to get the lock to hold. Otherwise, just about perfect.

Fairly gutless
No matter how much liquid I add first, it jams up as soon as I add a few frozen strawberries - even if I try to sneak up on it and just add 2 or 3 at a time. Not nearly as strong as the KitchenAid I just replaced.

SMOOTHIE GREATNESS
Quality at a good price. We make smoothies daily with it that includes carrots and lemons. Only shortfall is the container pouring opening causes dripping on counter after pouring. Small but impactful shortcoming.
