Last spring, after doing a ton of research, we decided to go all out and get a Vitamix. We had previously been juicing but wanted to go the next step and make smoothies. I had a large gift card that we were able to apply towards our Vitamix which made the price a little more bearable. I have to say, though, even with the hefty price tag, this machine has been well worth it. My husband makes smoothies almost daily for all of us and we find it is a great way to get fruits and veggies into my picky son. 🙂
Right now Zulily has Vitamix Certified Reconditioned Standard Programs Blender on sale for $299.00. Non-refurbished blenders are regularly priced at $449! Go HERE to view these blenders.
