I am so happy that I bought myself a Vitamix! The recepe book that comes with it has great suggestions that are mostly healthy! It is easy to clean and works well. They give you all of the directions that you need to be able to use it properly and it is a versatile product! I have gone from grinding up coffee beans in it to making smoothies and soups within minutes because it is so easy to clean!!
Pros: Recipe Enhancement, Power, Texture Quality, Easy to use, Product features, Speed of Service, Versatility
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very Disappointed

As the owner of two other Vitamix blenders, I must say that I am very disappointed in the S50. The performance does not measure up to the same quality that we have come to know and expect from a Vitamix. I bought this unit to keep at the office for my protein shakes and smoothies and I'm sorry to say that it leaves ice and unblended chunks. Quite a difference from the Super 5000 or the Creations GC!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great compact blender!

I use it just about every day to make fruit smoothies. The 20 oz cup is a bit tricky (frozen fruit will get stuck in the narrow part) so there is a little bit of a learning curve, but the cup is perfect for taking my smoothie on the go. Now that I have it figured out I view this blender as an essential part to a healthy diet that helps me get in the fruit I need. I like being able to remove the blade base to clean it well and knowing I can get a new one makes it a great choice (the blades have always failed me on cheap blenders).
Pros: Easy to use, Product features
I would recommend this to a friend!

Poor performance

The only good thing about this model
Is that it takes up less counter space. I make daily fresh smoothies and the ingredients are constantly getting stuck in the narrow part of the container, I have to stop the blades and push the ingredients down several times. What used to take me 1 minute in a kitchenaid blender now takes me over 3 minutes and creates a huge mess with the spoon drippings and splashes from having to push the ingredients down several times and get the blades to catch. The whole point of buying this expensive appliance is for high quality performance and ease of use. Very disappointed with my first vitamix product. Will be going back to kitchenaid as soon as I can!

Extremely Disappointed with S50

I would not recommend this. I just bought it on 3/5/2018 and i can not make peanut butter, the ice gets clogged, protein shakes don't blend well. This is nothing compared to my original vitamix E310. The motor smelled like it was burning out so I quickly had to shut it off and throw away all of the peanuts inside the blender. I was told this small unit was as powerful as most of the large blenders on the market and there was nothing this unit couldn't do.... this is my 3rd and final Vitamix - I am very disappointed.
Pros: Durability, Easy to use, Power

I have had my machine a couple of months now and I absolutely love it!! The additional cup is great for my smoothies or protein shakes and an on-the-go convienence. The power of this machine is astounding.

this is my second vitamix and while, no, it is not as powerful as my classic vitamix, it is awesome. most negative reviews seem to be written by people who don't take the time to experiment and learn how to load this container. i had the same problems for the first few tries. now, it is awsome. have used daily for 4 months.
Pros: Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Versatility
