the next Vitamix TSV is on the 26/05/18
I have a vitamix. I use it in winter to make soup. I occasionally make sorbets with it. It doesn’t get much use and it has already been returned under guarantee to get something fixed which had caused the jug to get shatter marks in the plastic. It was returned with a better quality jug. I would not buy a QVC special again and think a cheaper blender would do the job. I keep it on the work top and the jug in a cupboard. I have made caster sugar a few times out of granulated sugar and ground coffee beans too.But is it really worth that money?? I've got a Ninja that does lots of those procedures and it cost me £29 and I've got a soup maker that cost £34. Both very good bits of kit. I can see the point of paying for those fancy mixers as they are a bit of a kitchen feature, but a blender?

When I say I use it for soup, I mean that I liquidise the soup that I have made on the stove in it.I have a vitamix. I use it in winter to make soup. I occasionally make sorbets with it.

I have one, and the thing they never mention about making soup is that the ingredients are NOT COOKED, just heated up.
