Hi Mike, welcome to OCF! Im very sorry to read you are not able to eat or drink by mouth. Depending on a feeding tube isnt easy. Over the years I have met several survivors in the same situation.

Vitamix blenders live up to their stellar reputation. If any blender is going to puree things its the Vitamix. Ive used mine for a few years and its awesome!!!

If you plan on purchasing a Vitamix please consider buying it thru OCF. All the prices are the same no matter where you buy it from. Some sites claim to have it deeply discounted but that is not true. The cost is the same at all locations, Vitamix does not allow for anyone to discount their products. What sets OCF apart from other places selling the vitamix is we are a small nonprofit organization. We truly care about our members and try to help everyone as much as possible. We have developed a program taking the proceeds from our vitamix sales and purchase one for an oral cancer patient/survivor who is unable to eat and is also financially needy.

To learn more click on the Vitamix box over on the right of any page. Thank you!
