I've had a Vitamix for a couple of years and never really used it. Now I'm retired and am interested in eating healthy. This video demonstrated how to use and what to use the Vitamix for. I'm making a green smoothie right now.
2:49 No, the blades are DULL and are designed that way to bash and batter to give a completely smooth texture whereas sharp blades will cut and slice and will not produce a completely smooth blend. You do not have to be careful at all reaching your hands to the bottom of the container when it is off of the unit and makes it super easy to clean in those 1% cases where the self cleaning method doesn't get everything on the bottom.
thank you anne thacker for this wonderful demonstration, and for breakfast club of canada for putting up the video... this is def a great starting point to get going with the blender - greatly appreciated. i just purchased a vitamix (march 3, 2021) and it'll be reaching my hands in the next week or 2. cheers from southern ontario 🍁
I had my stomach removed so this is a great machine for getting calories as I am no longer hungry. I do freshly squeezed orange juice with protein powder and chia seed. I can get 700 calories into my body real quick. I lost 50 lbs and need to keep my weight up.
I have been using my Vitamix 5000 for almost 30 years. It continues to be my best household investment. I still use it daily for my morning smoothie. I have used it for almost everything. A great products that is easy to use.
This seems like an awesome program for children..I know in America there's a big issue in the summer for kids. Most of the time, they are limited in their food choices during summer. This seems like a program that should be implemented everywhere. And the kids would probably enjoy seeing the food blend.
Great info on the machine. I thought I had broken mine when I was making hummus. It worked wonderfully the first time I made it. The second time I doubled the recipe and it didn’t mix it like it did the first time. I didn’t know about the high speed selector. I will try that the next time. I’m still wondering if it is not working properly and am afraid to use it.
Have you overcome your shyness with your Vitamix yet? Check out the folks at Life is no NOYOKE, they will help you get more comfortable with your machine.
It's heavy enough it doesn't really need to. Unlike a food processor (at least mine which needs to be "locked" in place), once it's on the base, it's not going anywhere - it just needs to be properly in place.
Isn't it a pain to get that small amount of chopped carrots and onions out of that tall skinny blender? For that reason, I'm leaning more toward one that's a little fatter at the base.
When you wash the container do not put your fingers inside just fill it halfway with warm water and one small pump of dish soap, blend on medium, rinse out and unplug
I had this machine for more than 5 years , Was so scared to use it because at one time I hit into wrong button, it went like explosive noise, 😱😱 I was shocked and dare not to use it again ! I need a simple simple instruction, with simple talking please help me
I had a Vitamix-the blades stopped working 1st day & it's too tall to fit under cabinets & it was loud & clunky also... The BEST Blender as tested by real chefs on youtube for under $200..( $148) is the BREVILLE Fast & Furious.. I love it, fantastic, quiet, computerized, perfect design & size * it blows every other blender away.. it's the perfect blender for daily use.
It comes with the 2-quart bowl which is larger than I need most of the time so I purchased a 1-quart bowl which is perfect (and fits under the cabinet).
Blendtec is good too so is Vitamix not very nice to put that here I found that making dog food with ground meat vita mix overheated a lot more than the Blendtec but I know I have a new vita mix for my smoothies for my AIP diet protocol
Just wish the kids eye ball was out of the shot, VERY annoying and distracting. The 5200 is the best vitamix period ! Bought mine last week and it"s also the least expensive ! The new generation " low profile " models don"t go up to 30,000 rpms ! And won"t blend less than 4 cups , I did my research O.K , so think twice about buying the best model !
First, is not an eyeball but half a child's face. (I'm sensitive about unnecessary use of the word since my granddaughter had her eye removed at 23 months of age due to cancer.). Second, if the image bothers you, simple move your browser window to the left so you don't see it.
Why the hell do you have to use three separate knobs it seems like a waste. Why not make one digital machine that works with just the touch of a finger
Not to mention if you really want to compete against other name brands you must come down on your price. Remember what China did, they sold their items very cheap to compete against America and before long America it was buying nothing but China made products so Chyna stole in essence sales from us and now we will have a hard time getting it back unless we can compete by eliminating them. If we produced superior quality products but the cost is exactly the same as what China sells America would surely be more interested in buying a better quality for the same price as a China product then you can put china out of business and when you have the corner of the market you can start raising your prices again. I think it's worth it for American companies to drop their prices of goods because it would only be a short time before Americans would start buying American-made products again.
I guess what country you buy from depends on your ethics up to a point. American products cost more mostly because labor costs more so the businesses cannot "drop prices." Sadly, some things are not made in the U.S.A. but those that are, I always buy American which is why I have a VitaMix, Cuisnart, etc. Yes, I pay more but I don't have images in my head of babies laying wrapped in a blanket at their mothers' feet in a factory at a sewing machine. I've walked away from many purchases because I could not find an American product and that especially includes food products! Frankly, it disgusts me that so many will buy from China, putting our own population out of work, then our government borrows money from China!!! Why anyone would pay five cents less for a package of pencils made in China escapes me! It is even difficult to find fabric made in America to sew our own clothing Yes, it is more of a political comment but also states why I bought a VitaMix (and for my granddaughter and my son) rather than something less expensive.
Why would you leave one piece of Spinach on the plate? Lolllllllllllllllll Drives me crazy watching people do strange things... Wasteful, what are you going to do with that 1 piece throw it in the trash ? Absurd ,,, She left out the extra virgin olive oil included in making hummus included in the vitamin recipe,,, Lame ... Lolllllllllllll
D.J. Nassar I know right? She could have packed up that piece and sent it to a starving person in Africa or driven around town looking to give it to a homeless person on the street. What a waste!
Are you being cynical, it's stupid, why waste anything ? If you think it is OK Then fine, I questions chef's habits. Over time that behavior would cost a company lot's of money. I don't like the reasoning behaviors even though it is trivial to some, to me it's absurd.

Thank you. That was a really helpful presentation. I would love to see more.
Ann, you’re such a sweetheart. Thanks for the vid, I’m enjoying my Vitamix!
Thanks I needed a refresher on it's use!

Thanks for the Awesome video !!
Superb tips & tricks !
You made a excellent video, nice information with this video. I love your voice and idea
I’m so glad I saw this ! 🙏
I just got mine and when I put it in high I feel sorry for the fruit
🤣🤣🤣
Best instructions ever! Thank you
When you give advice you should do it yourself because you didn’t.
I thought vitamix blades are dull and it crushes not cutting.
You are correct
Good tips - even if you don't have this same model.
Great info on the machine. I thought I had broken mine when I was making hummus. It worked wonderfully the first time I made it.

It seems like turning the machine on/off is similar to driving a stick or manual shift semi truck.
but you shut it off before you dialed it down and turned the high speed off. confused.
Very useful - thank you!
Awwh ... I wanted to see the hot soup tutorial!
I did wonder why the container doesn't lock on, but I guess they did that for a reason.
It's heavy enough it doesn't really need to. Unlike a food processor (at least mine which needs to be "locked" in place), once it's on the base, it's not going anywhere - it just needs to be properly in place.
what model is this
I just bough the e310.. can’t wait to get it.. I like that it’s smaller.. so I don’t need to make huge servings
Those with the 2-quart bowl (most of them) can purchase a 1-quart bowl separately which is what I did.
I have this. I love it!
Thank you 🍇🍓🍋🍎🍉
How many grapes and strawberries for the smoothies?
Thanks for sharing.
10:14, you didnt turn it off properly
Every other video said Vitamix blades are not sharp but you said it's very sharp. Is that true?
I must chuckle at this because a blade is a blade and I don't put my fingers near it! I treat it like, "Oh, my dog doesn't bite."
I have a question for you , the high speed button on the left in my Vitamix, does it stay in one position up or down is something wrong?
On mine, it stays in the position in which I set it unless I change it.
I just bought a vitamix, I love it especially being a vegan it's gives me so many different options
❤️❤️❤️
I recently bought the model is E320 same like the video
what blender ??
Isn't it a pain to get that small amount of chopped carrots and onions out of that tall skinny blender? For that reason, I'm leaning more toward one that's a little fatter at the base.
2:50 nope they are dull
The blades are NOT SHARP! She is incorrect.
I fell in love at 5:56
I spat out my coffee....
When you wash the container do not put your fingers inside just fill it halfway with warm water and one small pump of dish soap, blend on medium, rinse out and unplug
There is also such a thing as bottle brushes.
which model is this?
Aricka Of the River model 5200 series.
you turn it off exactly how you say not to lol
No olive oil, no garlic, no tahini, no cumin. That is not humus, just blended chickpeas.
Sooooo many innuendos!
Specialist sports nutrition
the blades are not sharp at all...that's like one of the main features that keeps them going so long..
Exactly. This video is full of BS.
Hey, I didn't get a book with mine!
But seriously, Ms. Thacker, wonderful presentation but too long. And you're also very pretty; keep up the good work!

Ann, you did great. Your video was very helpful. You may have sold one.
Oh, no I am not flirting, but you are very cute.

She was very inconsistent on how she turned off and on. Very confusing
What..............
awww... she seems so nervous
Because she's talking BS
@@horvoje_ please explain - or are you trying to be funny?...
@@jayspot4 Look at someone who KNOWS how to use this machine. This is how presentation should be

vitamix does have a digital version, you can even use your phone to run it.
