Re: I think I'm too short for my vitamix!

Hello Natalia,I would call customer service. Your machine should not be creating any "burnt motor" smells.Just to trouble shoot… are you using high when making ice cream? (never use the variable speeds for thick things like nut butters, hummus, ice cream, thick batters like brownie mix, etc.)You should be able to tell if the container is "tipping" and if it is, it would cause the gears to wear down and grind rather than create a burning smell in the motor.

Thanks Lea Ann, yes I'm using it on high, but the very first time i used it to make banana ice cream i was scared of high and i did use it on the variable 10.  Gosh that sounds so silly...there was smell after that time and then i noticed it again pretty strong today when i made the banana ice cream!

Maybe you could try making the banana ice cream again, but put the vitamix on a lower table. That will give you the definitive answer.

You are welcome - next question…Did your banana ice cream exceed the 4 cup line? (that line can be found right in the middle of the handle - 1/2 of the container…Ice cream should not be made over the 4 cup line, and nut butters should not be made over the 3.5 cup line - even on high, very thick mixes like these are too much for the motor… Sometimes you get a burning smell before the machine shuts itself off (if it over heats, it shuts down). If it ever does shut down for you while making something thick, don't worry, when it cools off it will work again :-)

I think so, I'll have to pay attention to that too!  I know I've made smoothies before that had lots of frozen strawberries in it and I used it on high and didn't notice any smell...but that doesn't put the same strain on the motor that the banana ice cream does...and there's liquid in it..

Are you loading the machine with a whole frozen banana? I cut mine into smaller pieces and then freeze them.

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 cut mine into quarters or sometimes more depending on the size. This way I also have control of the quantity I use. I think you will have better luck with the smaller size as it breaks up easier, at least it works fine for me.
