$499?! Watch Before You Buy This Vitamix... 

Thanks for watching. Marc

Glad we could help! - J

Appreciate the comment ! Marc

Great advice! I've had my vitamix 7 years and my man you weren't doing the smoothies correctly. More liquid less fruit, use the tamper as that's not a bad thing. Just pour the extra liquid in while it running through the hole on top. Lastly, turn it up full speed or use the smoothie setting. The vitamix is a tank and can take every bit of what you give it. Hopefully, you didn't give up because it takes about a couple of weeks to get it down.

Thanks ! Marc

Thanks for the pointers ! Marc

Thanks very much for the great comment. We are in no way attempting to be “unfair to the vitamix”. Our goal is always to provide an honest unbiased review. Unfortunately, I had no experience with either the blentech or Vitamix and shot this video as a rookie user. And again, unfortunately those were the results of the tests we conducted. I am not aware of an app being available for this model, but I could be wrong. Thanks again for watching and taking the time to provide feedback. Marc

The app is called Vitamix Perfect Blend. It encourages the use of the Perfect Blend Smart Scale but you don't need It. You use the Accent series or Venturist series Vitamix blenders using the Bluetooth feature on these blenders. The presets tell the blender the length of time and speed adjustments. You send the blender the preset then hit start. It adjusts and stops the blend while you watch or step away. It takes the guess work out of the picture until you're ready to experiment on your own. Now the tamper won't touch the blades so you just stick it right in through the removable little lid. The hand guard will stop it from reaching the blades. Keep it blending as you do it. Like I said I have the A3500. It comes with 5 presets on the front. Alot of people would tell me I wasted money because I could have bought your model and just used the app. Mine was $649 US dollars. Alot of people might be right but I like it anyway. Perhaps you can try the app and give your Vitamix a new try. Good Luck.......and No I don't work for Vitamix, I just watch a lot of RU-vid trying to learn how to better use my equipment. That's how I found your channel. Again, good luck.

Very cool !! Thanks !! Marc

Well we don't want you to be in pain... But thanks for watching! 😘 - J

Painful to watch? Lol relax it's just a guy using a blender

Thanks for the advice and point of view. We appreciate you watching and the comment. Marc

The purpose of the video was from the pov of a first time user. Not a 22yrs veteran of using it. Thanks for the comment. Cheers. Marc.

@@TheAverageKitchenI'm also a teacher. My Point - Did he read the manual first?

The manual was consulted yes. Marc

Not trying to jump on ya here but there's genuinely no direction easily findable about this. Plenty of paid vitamix "influencers" here to tell you how great it is and to buy the top of the line model. (Getting promoted at the top of the search results) Not one of them being honest about how to run the device, when and how to use the tamper, where when and how to put liquid. Watching this guy go through it is revealing and of course a ton of vitamix stans get on his case about it. Shameful really.

Amazing comment !! Thanks so much for the recipe! Can’t wait to try it out. Marc

@@TheAverageKitchen one thing I forgot to mention is I use unsweetened almond milk.

Good to know ! Cheers. Marc

I never defrost my fruit. The vita mix is strong enough to blend frozen fruit. I turn it up to high and Blend for close to one minute.

What model do you have?

Ok. I’ll try that thanks !! Marc

Thanks for watching and the comment !! Marc

roasting the vegetables or pan roasting will give you the flavor you want, rather than just warming up raw veggies, kind of the same thing goes with a slow cooker as well. You have to bring out the flavors either by stovetop roasting or in the oven. Cheers!

Great point. Thanks for watching. Cheers. Marc

Thanks for mentioning that we should use the tamper while blending,The other day I just received my A3500 and I did not use the tamper and it seemed like everything was stuck And I'm trying to shake the jar like I did an old blender, now I know that's what the tamper is there for, Thanks again for your input, i'm starting to also watch a lot of Vitamix videos to learn how to use it correctly.

Great feedback thanks !! Marc

I don't think we left fruit out overnight? Thanks for watching! - J

Great advice! I had mine 7 years and it's a tank and ask for more. My man had no idea on what to do. I hope he figured it out and didn't yard sell it, because that would've been some person's gold mind😂

Awesome we'll have to try that! - J

Awesome to hear! Thanks for watching! - J

Thanks for the tips! - J

Learning curve. Marc

🤙

Thanks !! Appreciate the support. Cheers. Marc

That’s frustrating. Thanks for watching. Marc

Good advice thanks !

Did you see the price? We spent that. We certainly don't want any product to fail. Thanks for watching! - J

@@TheAverageKitchen I’ve got one and the performance is not what you are experiencing. I would suggest you give them a call it might be a defective unit.

That certainly could be the case. Can't discount the possibility. - J

🎶 🍻. Marc

I disagree. The point of this video is from the POV of someone who opened the box and tried it for the first time. Not someone who’s been using it for 5yrs. I think there is value showing if a product is user friendly right away, or if there is a big learning curve, such as this product. Thanks for watching. Marc.

@@TheAverageKitchen Properly using it (or any other blender) takes maybe 30min worth of reading, not 5 years.

Again, I disagree.

Well, s.o. who just got the driver licence, shouldn't not make reviews about a Porsche. It's a premium car which requires some skill. For the beginning, a Twingo would be a nice choice - easy to handle 😊

That doesn't sound right... Wouldn't that amount of sudden torque potentially damage the motor too? - J

@@TheAverageKitchen It may sound that way but in actuality Vitamix says that it’s better for the motor because the fan turns on to cool everything down. They have videos on it also from the (life is no yolk) youtube channel. Also if you call customer service they will tell you the same thing

Fair enough. Thanks for watching! - J

Where were you when we were filming?! - J

Great tip ! Marc

Thanks bruh. Marc

Great tip thanks ! Marc

Cheers ! Marc

We were rookie users. Thanks for watching and the comment. Cheers. Marc

@@TheAverageKitchen😂😂😂😂

Hence it being a review video for a first time user. Thanks for watching. Marc

Thanks for watching! - J

So we've learned! Thanks for watching. - J

Hahaha yup ! Thanks for watching. Marc

Thanks for adding to the convo! - J

Smells like BS. Even refurbished Vitamix's come with a 5 year warranty.

👍🏼👍🏼

What's the vibe of this one? - J
