Steve,

I finally got a Vitamix last spring. It's great for making purees and

fast cooked veggie soups and so forth. It does blend the vegetables much

finer than my Oster blender. Its power makes mustard-making a snap.

However, it's a pain in the but to get your foods out of the bottom of

it, and for all the " cleaning " you can do with soap and water

in it, I hate wasting as much as a third to half a cup of whatever I'm

preparing if I don't have time to spend 15-20 minutes carefully scraping

everything out of the bottom.

Don't get me wrong: I'm glad I have my Vitamix. But be aware that if you

leave skins and things on your veggies, or you don't fully cook them, the

only thing you'll be doing is offering the bad bugs in your get

pre-digested bacteria fodder.
