Vitamix 62826 Vita-Prep 3 3 hp Blender with 64 oz. Container - 120V

Vitamix blenders are the only way to go in any commercial or heavy home use kitchen. Our restaurant offers 4 health-smart smoothies every morning, and the Vitamix is the only blender that smoothly blends fiberous ingredients such as ginger root, tumeric, and pineapple. We opted for the 3.3hp "commercial" blender because of it's constant use. We also use them in processing sauces, dressing and other marinades. I really like that you can get extra or replacement pitchers incase one is not enough or they break if dropped frequently.

From the first use it didn't work properly. The thermal sensor triggers the auto shut off in under 60 seconds making blending anything impossible. We are not blending anything hot, too thick, or out of the ordinary. Support and Vitamix won't take the unit back because now it's been opened even though they acknowledge it could be a faulty unit and it is not working properly. Highly recommend staying away from this and trying a different brand.

Cannot go wrong with vitamix. This tall container works best for smoothies, better than the similar squat container ones available at local box stores.

This is the most powerful blender I've ever had the pleasure of owning. I have no doubt that it'll last me a long, long time for any tasks I need doing!

This blender has been going strong at my high volume coffee shop for 4+ years! Very pleased with the quality you get for such an affordable price.

It doesn't good for commercial use. We use 1 week for our store, then broke.

I just unpacked my blender and dug in the freezer for anything I could use to make a smoothie because I was so excited to test it out. I didn't believe it could live up to the hype, but OMG, it exceeded all of my expectations. I'm upgrading from a dinky single serving blender to this monster and I'm so glad I made the decision to upgrade. It's also actually quieter than my other blender which amazes me because my old blender was only 900 watts (slightly more than half the power of this one). I also had no problem making a smaller serving (probably 20 oz), I just had to stop it and wait for one air bubble to dissipate which took about 5 seconds. I am amazed at how frothy and smooth it made my smoothie in less than 30 seconds!!! One note to make, it's Read More

I am very impressed with this Blender. I know Vitamix has a stellar reputation and for good reason; it is easy to operate and the motor is powerful. The container allows me to double my recipe and blend my avocado salsa verde faster and smoother. Love this product!

This is a nice looking blender. Unfortunately the motor burnt out on ours after the second use. The lid is also weird to push on/ take off, also I feel you have to hold the blender before turning it on to ensure it doesn't get thrown off the motor. The package could have come with more documentation. Total run time under 20 minutes and it burnt out. Have contacted vitamix support. Hope it's not too big of a hassle to get a refund. Have been using a different brand blender for 5 years without an issue.

I have owned a few vitamix products through the year and this one does not disappoint. Blender is powerful with all of the speed control that you could ever need. I will never get another blender.

Best investment money can buy. The quality is great and it last a few years. You can blend just about anything in this blender. Hot or cold
