Thanks for sharing your experience with the Vitamix from a former sales perspective. I had worried that even with the Vitamix medical discount available to oral cancer patients, the $300 price tag (discounted from $500) was too steep so it was very reassuring to see that you had to pay at least that for a decent juicer. I liked your subtle implied critique of "TV specials" Unfortunately, I can't "drink" smoothies and even those are too thick to go down my G tube so I had about given up until the Vitamix.
Good luck in the garden. It is so nice to have real food again through my G tube - last night was Chicken breast and green beans with a side of sweet potatoes. Funny though every meal turns the same shade of green except when we add beets. Again, good health to you as you escape the maltodextrin and corn syrup ghetto that the medical profession would consign us to.
