Does it blend as much food as the Vitamix 64 oz?

No it doesn't. IMO the Vitamix is a much superior product anyway you measure it.

This does do as much as if not more than the 64 oz. It doesn't need the tamper but MUST have the lid on or you will be cleaning a LOT. We really use the heck out of this. Love it. The 64 oz hardly gets used now.

Almost. The container is slighter wider and maybe 15% shorter. It is as though you are using the other brand's blender - same blade. We like the lower profile, and it works very well.

the vitamix is a different blender. The Blendtec Jar is for the blendtec/K-tec blender.

First of all, I have never owned a Vitamix, so I do not know its performance and reliability, here are the reasons I like Blentec more than Vitamix. 1. The appearance of the machine design of Blendtec is much better than Vitamix, the Blendtec has touch buttons that no only simplify the operations but also make it looking COOL! 2. Based on web site information for both brands, Blendtec has 8 years warranty, Vitamix has only 7 yrs. 3. If we compare their models at the same level, normally Blendtec is cheaper than Vitamix. 4. This is only for Blendtec. After using it for several months, we like it a lot, very powerful and easy to use, the machine is built with high quality material, and even the juice container has 3 yrs warranty, so good to not to have it. Hope this will help your decision.

The vitamix has stainless steel gears and more durable build. Ninja has plastic gears and not as durable. Ninja has center blade part is mostly plastic, and over time pieces chip off into drinks. The Ninja is also more dangerous for cleaning. Ninja blade system takes up most of the place in the blender, and after blending has more texture and bits. The Vitamix makes a lot smooth blend, really whips and blends better. Vitamix really liquifies and blends a lot better. Definitely worth the price.

It is, it's pretty much the same as the Vitamix but the hole in the top is bigger, I bought it to replace plastic. Note, however, do not put the Vitamix pusher in, it will be eaten!

Not really. It is all about juice extraction. It will puree, but that is more for soups and sauces. For smoothies you want the Ninja, or spend more money and get the vitamix.

I just got the vitamix and i now seem to do more smoothies than juicing. I throw in a bunch of veggies and fruit and blend with water and it comes out to thick or runny depending on how much water you add and how watery the ingredients are. I LOVE it! You get all the fiber instead of throwing it in the garbage! i still sometimes do a juice fast, but generally, i now do a green smoothie for breakfast.

It does work. The flour is not as fine as I would like it. It produces a lot of flour dust in the air. I covered the top with a slightly wet dish towel. My blender does just as good. I do not have a "Vitamix". That was recommended to me. Best Wishes.

I love my waring machine. My uncle and I tested the vitamix next to the warring and the warring blew the vitamix away. The motor is better. I have had mine for a year and a half. My uncle has had his for about ten years. I don't know anyone that has had one that long but my uncle had never had a problem.

I have both. The Vitamix is gathering dust. Sure it can make soup... like 1 recipe (all the other ones require prep work like steam something first, who wants that). SO for the 99% of the job, making smoothies, this is 90% as powerful and will crush ice and frozen foods just like a Vitamix. The only downside is size. We almost always use the 1 Collossal cup and we fill it up way past the limit line. But it wont' make as much as a Vitamix if you plan on making smoothies for 4 people. BUT the upside is the speed of cleaning. It actually might be faster and easier to just make 2 smoothies vs cleaning the vitamix. So go get it, if you haven't already. And don't get the 600, get the 900. I have both. The Vitamix is gathering dust.

I used it mainly for blending ice for smoothies, and it was great. I used it daily though and wore it out in a year. now I have a vitamix and love it.

i think it is but it's not equal to vitamix because it isn't as smooth because the motor isn't as powerful. however, with that said, it's alot cheaper than a vitamix. but i didn't want to pay that much because i can't afford it so i bought this and i'm pleased with it. i bought a vitamix but returned it but it worked much better and was very smooth and the motor revved up more powerfully than the vitamix. let me put it to you this way, if money is not a consideration, get the vitamix because it's worth every penny, if you are on a limited income but want something close to a vitamix, get the ninja ultima it works pretty good but its no vitamix. i think it is but it's not equal to vitamix because it isn't as smooth because the motor isn't as powerful. however, with that said, it's alot cheaper than a vitamix. but i didn't want to pay that much because i can't afford it so i bought this and i'm pleased with it. i bought a vitamix but returned it but it worked much better and was very smooth and the motor revved up more powerfully than the vitamix. let me put it to you this way, if money is not a consideration, get the vitamix because it's worth every penny, if you are on a limited income but want something close to a vitamix, get... » Read More i think it is but it's not equal to vitamix because it isn't as smooth because the motor isn't as powerful. however, with that said, it's alot cheaper than a vitamix. but i didn't want to pay that much because i can't afford it so i bought this and i'm pleased with it. i bought a vitamix but returned it but it worked much better and was very smooth and the motor revved up more powerfully than the vitamix. let me put it to you this way, if money is not a consideration, get the vitamix because it's worth every penny, if you are on a limited income but want something close to a vitamix, get the ninja ultima it works pretty good but its no vitamix. « Show Less

It's better than a juicer, it blends everything. I put vegetables and fruit and it blends them with ease...

No, this one is too long for the low profile 64 oz. container. Call Vitamix Customer Service. You can get a replacement tamper through them.

ABSOLUTELY!!!! Unlike a juicer the Vitamix seamlessly blends in the pulp!!!! I use my VitaMix everyday!!!!

it could easily blend the vegetables if they were cooked first- if not- i suggest the food processor attachment or maybe you want a juicer? The blender is a 6c capacity. Don't put that much in in all at once.
