Lea Ann, Just a question on the speeds...I still have trouble with frozen things. I have NEVER EVER gotten the 4 mounds. I have followed your suggestions from a previous thread I had posted and the texture has definitely improved (it is acceptable) but I still don't get 4 mounds. As you suggested, I never do a partial recipe anymore and I have gotten very aggressive with the tamper.

I have almost given up using the Vitamix for frozen sorbet or ice cream.

But, seeing the speed thing brought up...I have the new Creations Elite. It does not have HIGH. It has the variable 1-10 and Pulse. Have you had a chance to work with the new motor yet? I believe this is the way the new machines are going?

After I had followed your suggestions, I had even called Vitamix to ask about the difference in the machines (was considering returning the Creations Elite and getting the 5200) and the customer Service person was adamant that the newer motors (like what I have in the Creations Elite) was the new motor and was IMPROVED.

So, now I am thinking this is why I am not getting the 4 mounds.

Does anyone else with the Creations Elite 48-oz container (from QVC special value in April) get the 4 mounds with the forzen items?

THANKS!

Kathleen

I wonder if when I'm using my tamper to push down if the angle isn't quite right for me and if i'm pushing the container or moving it in a way that's causing the gears to rub...
