    Why no Kitchenaid for a $100?

    preethi mixer grinder best. its just 90$

    Vitamix actually offers a dry blade, that would make even quicker work of the corn than that.

    Warning: Do not buy any of the Ninja single serve blenders. They are nearly impossible to clean, because food gets stuck under the washers (or whatever those things are called, to keep a good seal), and those things are nearly impossible to remove, without damaging them. After awhile, the food under them will get moldy, and it could possibly cause illness, because those moldy particles are coming back up into your smoothies as you are blending. I am very surprised that Ninja has not been sued over that major issue, but they tell you to just replace the entire blade part (which has the washer thing in it) like every 3 months. Horrible product, and made me sick after learning about it.

    I wish you had tested the Ninja 1500 watt blender against the Vitamix. We have heard that the Ninja 1500W blows Vitamix out of the water and have been thinking about purchasing that one.

    Most important thing is durability, which you can’t test in short period.

    I love my VitaMix



  11. Marnie Larocque on May 8, 2021 at 6:03 am

    i have the Vita and i bought mine with 2 blending containers, the one on this video is for grinding and will make fine flour, the other container has the sharp blades, they also now have a smaller container



  12. Bunghole35 on May 8, 2021 at 6:03 am

    Vitamix Hands down the best blender you can own. Spend the money it’s worth it. Don’t settle for anything less.



  13. Daniel Weinzapfel on May 8, 2021 at 6:04 am

    Looking at the Oster Pro 1200, it has a 10 year warrenty which sounds good but people are complaining that they can’t reach Oster to resolve their problems and if they do Oster no longer stock critical parts like the blades, gasket and extra cup. Has anyone had good results in resolving warrenty problems with Oster?



  14. Keylani Styles on May 8, 2021 at 6:04 am

    She didn’t use the vacuum for the Breville so it seems that she showed partiality towards the Ninja. Not a very objective assessment.



  15. joaquin tirado on May 8, 2021 at 6:06 am

    This list is useful too, what you guys think?:
    *scafe.shop/top-10-best-kitchen-gadgets-2021*
    It really helped me choose the right item

  16. Callum Lingman on May 8, 2021 at 6:08 am

    Can u do a video on a stand mixer



  17. Joshua Freeman on May 8, 2021 at 6:08 am

    Would have loved to see this verse every $110 commercial blender you find in kitchens across the country. You know, the 3 speed one, off, on, and more on. Those blenders always worked for me while doing prep!



  18. Lydia Rivera on May 8, 2021 at 6:10 am

    Here’s a list that helped me out.
    "whinyl.com/bbs-guide/
    In the end, I went with #4.

  19. Mr. N Money on May 8, 2021 at 6:10 am

    i dont own 1 but went to a friends house party and they had a vitamix we made pina coladas daiquiri and in the morning he made smoothies for everyone hands down no contest the vitamix is the best the only challenge i have seen first hand is the margarita ville blenders other than that vitamix wins



  20. Salman Ravoof on May 8, 2021 at 6:11 am

    Doesn’t make sense to compare these for only these use cases and with such a time limit. I think it’s should be an "I’ll try the best way to use this product" test so that the end result is much more relevant to the end-users. Also, the warranty of the products should be taken into consideration for the recommendation.



  21. YoMommaIs SoFat on May 8, 2021 at 6:13 am

    I can smell the motor! Hahahahh



  22. Angi R on May 8, 2021 at 6:16 am

    which Vitamix model is that one…?



  23. Zeitumkehr on May 8, 2021 at 6:18 am

    There’s no point of testing after showing us the blades. You can tell which ones are high quality and which ones aren’t.



  24. Shemaiah Hur on May 8, 2021 at 6:18 am

    ur biased
    u didn’t do things to the vitamix that you did to the breville



  25. Krystle Roy on May 8, 2021 at 6:20 am

    Can you test espresso machines



  26. Darb Angie on May 8, 2021 at 6:20 am

    听点个%(*≧ω≦)



  27. Nixon Chan on May 8, 2021 at 6:22 am

    be great if you could compare https://froothie.co.uk/optimum-9200/ blender against them, as it is 2611w powerful value blender but not sure if its as good as it sounds. please review esp want to know if they last, thanks in advance



  28. Diana Clouate on May 8, 2021 at 6:24 am

    i have ninja it dose a great job. i make somethies and i have to take open it and shift the friute to the blade nut its a great blender



  29. aBMWEnthusiast on May 8, 2021 at 6:24 am

    Vitamix makes a dry container that is specifically designed for blending dry ingredients. You used the wet container.



  30. Mielle Downey on May 8, 2021 at 6:24 am

    You need the dry jar to blend cornmeal in the vitamix.



  31. Dawn Wagoner on May 8, 2021 at 6:26 am

    I couldn’t live without my vitamix



  32. Julia b on May 8, 2021 at 6:27 am

    I feel like the magic bullet was frowned in and Vitamix was favorited I feel like it’s dance moms lol I have both magic bullet and Vitamix love them both



  33. Edi Honsen on May 8, 2021 at 6:27 am

    Kupiłem Sage na diversiv.pl
    Polecam do nich zadzwonić po dodatkowy rabat.



  34. Jenn Rimbey on May 8, 2021 at 6:28 am

    The oster versa 1400 is comparable to vitamix



  35. sky world on May 8, 2021 at 6:30 am

    wow, this blender is good but I am using Supa blender and its amazing. Portable mini yet powerful.
    checkout, they even have afterpay for easy payment.

  36. Sven Arnarsson on May 8, 2021 at 6:32 am

    Wow, thanks for the video, but I would say this is a very biased review.



  37. Fern Kahdemann on May 8, 2021 at 6:35 am

    Having owned a Vitamix Professional for ten years it has been the best investment one could buy. I purchased a Ninja for daughter when we visited her spent 180.00 for the whole thing. Waste of money the smoothie was not as smooth which I knew would happen, but I have replaced the bottom blade 4 x not because the blade was bad , but seal after so many weeks would leak and cause a mess. At 11 bucks a pop that is additional 44 bucks we have spent. So folks if you want really smoothies without chunks or smooth soups. Save your bucks and get the Vitamix. The new ones have a shorter canister. The last forever 10 years nothing has gone wrong.



  38. Shresha Shakya on May 8, 2021 at 6:38 am

    It’s like 3star blender in sims freeplay. You want it but don’t have enough simoleons.



  39. Brian Y. on May 8, 2021 at 6:40 am

    It should’ve been Vitamix vs Blentec…



  40. Folorunso Gaji on May 8, 2021 at 6:41 am

    I’ve been using the Blendtec blender for over 3 years. It works perfectly for me. No problem with it. I recommended it to my daughter and she’s been so happy with it. We’ve had no problem with it at all. It’s still the best for us.



  41. Conza on May 8, 2021 at 6:43 am

    Probably need to rerun this with the Super Q and maybe the 3500i with appropriate time for milling. Interesting though.



  42. Sullivan's Papa on May 8, 2021 at 6:45 am

    This babe has looks and brains, a “deadly” combination!!



  43. SAnDee SAnDee on May 8, 2021 at 6:47 am

    I think you’re using the wrong played for the magic bullet



  44. Arnold Norris on May 8, 2021 at 6:47 am

    Why something so gory looking U got issues woman lol



  45. Oliver Gruber on May 8, 2021 at 6:49 am

    „And I like small things, cause I’m small“ 🤣🤣🤣

    Who doesn’t like small things though?
    Small girls are the cutest ❤️



  46. Bailey Wagner on May 8, 2021 at 6:51 am

    Smh a knife is probably better than these uni-taskers. /s



  47. SAnDee SAnDee on May 8, 2021 at 6:51 am

    Blade….Comes with another blade for dry stuff



  48. james stiner on May 8, 2021 at 6:52 am

    Just picked up a Vita Mix 5200 yesterday for $259.00, Amazon Prime day.



  49. William Lollar on May 8, 2021 at 6:52 am

    So she says of the Magic Bullet “last but not least” when, in fact, it was DEFINITELY the least.



  50. Casey Chartier-Vignapiano on May 8, 2021 at 6:52 am

    came here for a blender comparison. got that but also a comment section of mean men making comments about Esther. dissapointing
