Completely changed my life because of my chronic illness (keep reading to learn more)!
This product has changed my life. I have recently been diagnosed with Lyme disease and alpha gal syndrome (caused by the Lyme); due to these things, I am quite literally allergic to animal products AND gluten... Initially this felt not only overwhelming, but unfair and horrible and on and on and on. I've always loved bread, custards, cheesy sauces, BLTs, burgers at the pool; omg I just was beside myself. Once I calmed down a bit, I got inspired (especially thanks to my amazing, loving, chef of a husband and his nearly 15 years of trying to teach me his skills - turns out near-death was the motivation I need hahahaha anyway let's continue...). I started to really research what being vegan and gluten free meant. Long story short, the answer is one word: SAUCES. Sauces that require high speed blending, because every "cream" sauce and pudding and "cheese" cake I make is always cashew based. So, not only has having the Vitamix allowed me to explore this new diet, but I am now LOVING IT. It turned what felt like a death sentence into vibrancy. For the first time in our marriage, my husband gets to be the one to come home to delicious, home-cooked food. This not only means a lot to him and me for very obvious reasons, but also because I'm still going through treatment and can't work right now. Besides cleaning, cooking has become a beloved activity of mine that I can still do to help out and show love. So, that's my long winded and sappy way of saying thank you to whoever refurbishes these products and makes them affordable for people who couldn't otherwise get them. I've attached pictures of some of the food I've made that in some way was made possible with the Vitamix. Sorry for the quality of some of the shots, taking nice pics of the food I'm proud of is a recent thing I'm doing.

    The Vitamix Explorian is a powerful and versatile blender that can handle a variety of tasks, from making smoothies and soups to crushing ice and grinding nuts. It has a 2.0 peak horsepower motor that can easily pulverize even the toughest ingredients, and its 10 variable speeds allow you to customize the texture of your blends. The blender also comes with a self-cleaning function that makes cleanup a breeze.

    Here are some of the things that I love about the Vitamix Explorian:

    Powerful motor: The 2.0 peak horsepower motor can easily blend through anything, from frozen fruit to tough vegetables.
    Variable speeds: The 10 variable speeds allow you to customize the texture of your blends, from smooth to chunky.
    Self-cleaning function: The self-cleaning function makes cleanup a breeze. Just add a drop of dish soap and some warm water, and run the blender on high for 30 seconds.
    Durable construction: The Vitamix Explorian is built to last. It has a sturdy base and a BPA-free plastic container.
    Long warranty: The Vitamix Explorian comes with a 7-year warranty, which is one of the longest in the industry.
    Overall, the Vitamix Explorian is a great choice for anyone who wants a powerful and versatile blender that will last for years to come. It's not the cheapest blender on the market, but it's definitely worth the investment.

    Here are some additional things to consider when choosing a blender:

    Power: The motor power is important for determining how well the blender can blend tough ingredients. A blender with a 2.0 peak horsepower motor or higher should be sufficient for most tasks.
    Speeds: A blender with multiple speeds gives you more control over the texture of your blends. A minimum of 5 speeds is recommended.
    Features: Some features to look for include a self-cleaning function, a tamper, and a BPA-free container.
    Warranty: A long warranty is a good indication of the quality of the blender. A 7-year warranty is a good standard.
    If you're looking for a powerful and versatile blender that will last for years to come, the Vitamix Explorian is a great option. It's not the cheapest blender on the market, but it's definitely worth the investment.

  • Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2023
    As a dedicated Vitamix owner for well over a decade, I can confidently attest that the Vitamix Explorian Blender, even as a renewed model, upholds the brand's enduring commitment to excellence. After relocating from Kenya back to the US and leaving my beloved Vitamix behind, I found myself in need of a new one. This was my very first kitchen appliance purchase as the entire family use it daily.

    Right from the initial use, this blender felt like an old friend reuniting with me. It performs precisely as you'd anticipate from a Vitamix – it's an absolute powerhouse! Whether I'm concocting smoothies, simmering soups, or experimenting with pesto recipes, this blender has yet to disappoint. It consistently delivers impeccably smooth, creamy, and flawlessly blended results, aligning seamlessly with the expectations of a professional-grade machine.

    One of its standout attributes, in my opinion, is its user-friendliness. The controls are intuitively designed, facilitating seamless transitions between speeds and ensuring I achieve the ideal texture for any recipe with ease. Additionally, it manages to maintain a surprisingly hushed operation, despite the significant power it wields. This feature is a true blessing for early morning smoothie sessions or any culinary venture that extends into the late hours.

    While the 64 oz. low-profile container design marked a departure from the taller containers I was accustomed to, it has proven to be a space-saving revelation in my compact kitchen. It fits snugly beneath my cabinets, allowing for convenient storage, all without the slightest compromise in the blender's exceptional performance.

    What sets Vitamix apart, in my view, is their unwavering dedication to uncompromising standards and quality. They steadfastly refuse to cut corners, and this commitment shines through every facet of this blender. Remarkably, it comes at what I consider a bargain price, which makes it all the more appealing. I have the utmost confidence that, just like its predecessors, this Vitamix will remain a loyal and long-serving companion in my culinary adventures for years to come.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Produkt funktioniert nicht - aber keine Garantie und Reklamationsmöglichkeit
    Reviewed in Germany on November 23, 2023
    Leider funktioniert das Produkt nicht wie es soll. Nach 30 Sekunden voller Leistung überhitzt das Gerät. Kann dann für mehrere Minuten nicht genutzt werden. Es wurde als Refurbished verkauft. In der Realität wurde ein mangelhaftes Gerät geputzt und ohne Garantie weiterverkauft. Wirklich enttäuschend. Fühle mich verschaukelt.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Vitamix = Good
    Reviewed in Canada on November 11, 2023
    I knew a lot of people that had these for years before I decided to purchase mine.
    Lots of power, will pretty much blend anything. It’s quite loud on high speed. I don’t think there’s anything you can do about that though, just the nature of a very powerful 12 amp motor.
    Makes great, frozen margaritas, fast.
    The instructions say that you can cook soup in it by leaving the blender on for about 10 minutes on full speed. Sure it’ll get hot and steamy but there is no way that it will actually cook the soup. You still have to pour it into a saucepan and actually cook it after you heat it up in the Vitamix on high. Personally, I don’t think I could listen to it for 10 minutes.
    I went through 10 pounds of tomatoes, salt, and oregano, blended it all up and froze it as a good and fast base for a pasta sauce.
    Work amazing for quick prep.
    Excellent blender.

    I really like this blender. It's very robust. I was dubious about getting one that has been "refurb" but after watching a video on them on YouTube where the guy said not to worry about it...they are tanks!" I'm glad I got it as a refurb and of course saved some money doing so. Very pleased with product and quality. Cheers

    5.0 out of 5 stars The best blender bar none
    Reviewed in Canada on May 28, 2021
    This is our third Vitamix blender, the second one of that exact model with 64 z capacity (one for the main residence, the other for our cabin).

    The older Vitamix model is still working but we do not use it anymore because of the smaller 48 Oz container is not large enough to blend or two smoothies at a time. This 64 Oz model is way more practical than the 48 Oz one.

    This thing blends our morning smoothies perfectly. It feels so powerful I bet it could crush rocks (don't try that!).

    The only thing I very much dislike about this Vitamix blender it is that it is very noisy.

    This item is renewed but for all practical purposes, it is indistinguishable from a brand new Vitamix, minus the original packing box.

    Overall I am extremely satisfied with this purchase and I would not hesitate to recommend it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Refurbished Vitamix, yes!
    Reviewed in Canada on September 30, 2023
    I got this refurbished and therefore a lot cheaper and still perfecfly functional. I wanted a vitamix because I enjoy making potage and it needed to sustain hot foods. It does the job seamlessly. Very satisfied. It looked brand new too. 3 months into my purchase and it is still working fine.
