Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 51 | Have any of you tried/had experience with this machine? Although very expensive, it's advertised to be about the best juicer/blender you can buy.
I have a difficult time injesting all the right kind of nutrients/fruit/veggies needed to help maintain healthier profile.
My thought is worth the $$$ if it assists with the injestion of those nutrients?
Any comments? Suggestions?...KILL THIS CANCER

Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 64 | I sat through part of a presentation at costco a couple years ago and sampled tortilla soup and a fruit smoothie which were both delicious. The time factor is what had me hooked. I think the soup took all but 5 minutes if that and it was filled with pureed veggies. It cost about 325 back then if my memory serves me correctly. I couldnt buy it then...I think it was too close to the holidies, but I think it is worth it and will probably get one next time they have a promotion at costco. I think it is a great product.

Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 51 | I seen it advertised previously and hadn't though about it until recently (before this, I never had a problem of injecting anything I wanted, the story if different now).
I did a search on OCS and found a few that swore by it, including one with a high recommendation from a cancer nutrictionist....I too want the green veggie stuff, spinach, Kale, and don't forget carrots, ....KILL THIS CANCER...
I think I've just about talked myself into buying this thing...they used to sell it at the Navy exchange, I'll check tomorrow, if not I'll get it on line....I'll have a feeding tube for the next few weeks anyway.....KILL THIS CANCER....

Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 51 | I just got off the phone with "JP" at Vitamix. I will be getting one of these as soon as I get home from surgery; I'm affraid delivery may get turned around if no one's home. Anyway JP seemed to understand our "unique" problem of eating, biting, chewing, etc. As I told him, I am craving for some, all, of those green leafy veggie stuff...not to mention other foods I can take with this thing..........KILL THIS CANCER..
