Hi,
You won't be sorry for your investment in a Vitamix blender. It has been the best piece of kitchen equipment I have. With it comes a receipt book for soup.veg. drinks, smoothies, and Ice cream. All is blended to s very smooth consistancy. It makes the soup hot and freezes ice cream. The food is very nutricitional and good for you. When you think of the money your spend on Ensure,etc. you quickly pay for the machine in addition to getting much better nurtition. I had a peg for a year and I used the Vitamix during that time as well as now PEG less. Thank Goodness.
