Q: |
Is the Vita-Mix a blender? |
A: |
Absolutely not. The precision designed container and high-performance blades combined with a powerful motor can deliver capabilities that cannot be performed by any other single appliance like a blender. Visit the “Product Description” page for more details on the patented Vita-Mix technology.

Q: |
What makes you think this machine will improve my family's health? |
A: |
If your family is like most families, you will most likely consider preparing five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables every day pretty boring. However, once you discover how easily the delicious Vita-Mix whole fruit smoothies and frozen treats can be made, you'll find that healthy eating is a choice not a chore.

| Q: |
I've read that Vita-Mix whole food juice gives me more nutrition than munching a whole apple, a bunch of grapes or some carrot sticks. How can that be? |
A: |
It's all about precision technology. Our teeth simply don't have the power to break through the cell walls of whole foods and release all the nutrition locked inside. The Vita-Mix does a much better job with laser-crafted, stainless steel blades traveling at 240 m.p.h. They crush and cut through whole foods to give you maximum benefits from the most nutritious parts of whole foods such as grape or apple skins and strawberry seeds. You don't even begin to break down the whole food fiber when you chew – and that valuable fiber gets tossed in the trash when you make extracted juice.

| Q: |
Can you tell me a little more about the phytonutrients I get from Vita-Mix whole food meals? |
A: |
Absolutely! The phytonutrients found in whole foods are nature's preventive medicine. They have tongue-twisting names like lutein and lycopene and you can only get them from fresh, whole foods. They fix and repair the damage done to your cells by free radicals. When you add whole foods to your daily diet you'll notice the improvements immediately. High blood pressure can drop in two weeks. Cholesterol can come down in five days. Some of the long-range benefits are increased energy, a sharper memory, a strong skeleton, and good digestive health.

Q: |
My doctor just told me I needed to lose weight . Can Vita-Mix help me? |
A: |
You bet. Weight gain is often the result of eating too much of the wrong foods – those loaded with high fructose corn syrup, fats, refined white flour – and foods that are totally lacking in fiber. Take a look at some of the labels on your processed, packaged foods and be prepared for a shock! Your Vita-Mix will put you back in control of your diet and your weight because Vita-Mix whole food meals make healthy eating simple – and best of all – scrumptious. They're packed with fiber and fabulous flavor requiring no added sugar or salt.

| Q: |
What are free radicals? |
| A: |
Free radicals are “cripples” oxygen molecules that are the price we pay for breathing polluted air, smoking, sun exposure and other outside factors. They actually warp the structure of our cells and damage our DNA. The chemical reaction they cause is the reason for age-related diseases and the aging process itself. Phytonutrients found in plant foods are the best way to prevent free radicals from becoming a powerful negative force in our bodies.

Q: |
My family hates to eat vegetables . I bet you can't do much for us . |
A: |
Bet you we can! Here's a little trick our show demonstrators do that always amazes people who avoid vegetables. They secretly put cabbage, carrots or squash into our whole fruit smoothies and ask if anyone can taste them. No one can! Try this trick with your family – and make sure you try some of the delicious fruit and vegetable juice recipes like “Citrus Carrot Cocktail” or “Apple Banana and Sweet Potato Cooler” as well. Your family will definitely be in for a pleasant surprise! Your can find these recipes in your
“Whole Food Recipes for Better Living” cookbook.

Q: |
What's the difference between the Vita-Mix Super TNC and the Vita-Mix TNC models? |
A: |
If grinding grain and baking bread are important to you and your family, the Vita-Mix Super TNC is your kind of machine because it includes a dry blade container designed to grind all kinds of grains and knead dough more efficiently. It also comes with a special Vita-Mix Whole Grains Cookbook written for just that purpose. Otherwise, both models feature the same powerful motor and deliver top-of-the-line performance. Both machines each include the same standard (wet-blade) container plus two cookbooks and an instructional video.
|
Q: |
The Vita-Mix is pretty expensive, isn't it? |
A: |
Not at all – when you consider everything it does. Don't think blender – think Vita-Mix. Your Vita-Mix is guaranteed for three years. But that isn't the main difference. The main difference is that your Vita-Mix can do something no other single appliance can do, i.e. it can make frozen treats, cook soup, make juice from whole fruits and vegetables, grind grain – even knead the dough. It can also give your 30 other ways to prepare healthy, whole food meals. The Vita-Mix is definitely a worthwhile investment in your good health.
|
Q: |
I've heard that using the Vita-Mix can save me money . That sounds like a stretch – prove it! |
A: |
Well, speaking of stretching – you will definitely stretch your grocery budget further because you'll be using the whole food – skins, seeds, and all – when you make drinks and meals in the Vita-Mix. You'll find that fresh, whole food meals cost less than packaged dinners and you'll also save on the cost of pills and supplements. The phytonutrients you get from processing fruits and vegetables in the Vita-Mix are your best source of health-enhancing vitamins and minerals. Once you own your Vita-Mix, my guess is you'll say goodbye to all these pills and supplements!
|
Q: |
Is the Vita-Mix a Juicer? |
A: |
Not even close. A juicer extracts juice from the whole fruit or vegetable and discards the pulp, peels and seeds. The Vita-Mix, on the other hand, starts with the whole fruit or vegetable and ends with it. It delivers what is known as the “whole food juice.” Whole food juice contains all the juice plus all the nutritious fiber found in the parts of fruits and vegetables you normally eat.
