Best Review on Vitamix 1363 Professional Series Platinum
This thing tears through ANYTHING in just seconds. Cold food is luke warm in a minute, then steaming hot in 5. It could probably be used as a mulcher, and if it cost less i would try it. This thing roars. The 2+ hp motor is ridiculously strong. It has a 7 year warranty included, comes with several cookbooks full of recipes (one of them is a whole binder full) and an instructional dvd presented by Iron Chef Michael Symon in which he takes you through several recipes and tells you many features and instructions on care. This thing takes about 30 seconds to clean, by the way. Just fill it with hot water and a drop of dish soap, then turn it on for 30 seconds. Rinse, and you're done.
Key Features:
-2+ Horsepower motor, moving the blades at 240mph.
-Blades move so fast they actually cook the food if it is left running from the friction created by the blades.
-Easy to clean. Takes about 30 seconds.
-Beautiful yet powerful-looking design. This blender is a sexy beast.
-Venting lid allows for pressure release without spraying your food everywhere.
-Has 10 variable speed settings, then a high setting (which is why I say it goes to 11, although the power increase is significant enough between 10 and high that i would say it more accurately goes to 15). This thing is NOT a toy (but its lots of fun to play with).
-7 year manufacturer warranty
-Automatic shut-down in case of overheating. I have run it for 15 minutes on high, and it did not shut down, so this thing is capable of some serious punishment without wussing out, but it is nice to know that the feature is there.
-Cooks foods while retaining the nutritional value.
I am probably forgetting SO MUCH, but thats all that comes to mind at the moment. If you can come up with the cash, get this blender. worth every penny and more. It will become your favorite tool.
This is the Mack Truck of countertop kitchen appliances. Ideal for making blended ice drinks, smoothies and vegetable purees for soup. We first noticed this mighty machine being used in a major coffee chain, then in fast food places, and finally at most restaurant bars. We were delighted to learn that the very same commercial kitchen equipment is now available for home kitchen use.
BalasHapusIt comes with an astounding amount of great recipes in a cookbook as heavy as the machine itself. Surprised to learn that it is possible to make soup in this machine without cooking. Just the intense friction caused by fast-moving blades chopping and grinding vegetable ingredients heats soup to serving temperature as fast as heating in a microwave.
The Vita-Mix is more than a blender, it is a professional kitchen food prep machine that is endorsed by chef instructors at the Culinary Institute of America.
We have also used this amazing American-made machine to puree our own baby food, because we trust locally grown produce more than what comes pre-processed in grocery store jars of baby food.
This is a lifetime investment in great equipment.
This Vita-Mix blender is amazing. Well made, extremely versatile and quite large... this machine means business. The included dvd and recipe book are top notch and include many recipes to showcase the machines abilities. Beware, this machine is very powerful... start on low and then "rev" it up to high speed as the instructions indicate. I've created Jamba Juice quality smoothies and Sbucks quality frappuccino's for houseguests and they are always impressed. Worth every penny.
BalasHapusMy wife and I got a blender as a wedding gift, 3 months later, it was broken. So we bought another blender for $50 and a year later (after minimal use) it was broken. Then I worked at a company that gave you "reward points" for doing good work...it was an employee incentive program. After two years of accruing points, I got this Vita-Mix. Nothing compares to it. Smoothies are smooth. It makes excellent margaritas, grasshoppers, and daiquiris. I use the blender at least every other day. We got rid of our food processor and juicer and coffee grinder, because this blender does all those things perfectly. It's amazing at chopping up onions too. I cannot say enough good things about this blender. It is worth the money, because you know this blender will last forever. I've never had any problem with it.
BalasHapusIt is expensive, and without the employee incentive program, I would never have owned one. But if this one ever breaks, getting a new one will be something I budget for.
