My Latest Kitchen Toy: Vitamix 5000



What we have is the white Vitamix. This "toy" ended up to be moi husband's favorite kitchen gadget. I thought it was mine when we got it but instead husband end up using this more often than I do. Beat that?

WHERE DID WE PURCHASE THIS?


We were shopping for chocolates last Saturday at Costco. While walking around and tasting some food promo products, we chanced upon Tyler, the cutie demonstrator of this magic product at Costco along Market on 10th Street. After seeing all the powerful work this blender does, we were ready to rock and roll and buy it!

This is a high-end product that works for commercial use but is sold for home use as well. It is powerful. Vitamix 5000 can liquefy even the seeds of apples, can make veggies into soup and boil them; can pulp the lemon skin and make it look like lemonade! It can make smoothies, ice cream, margarita, sorbet, capuccino, salad dips, etc.
So-after tasting and eating the samples of Tyler's concoction, we finally agreed to get one. And we did simply to lighten up my workload in the kitchen each day. But in reality, husband ended up to be the daily user of this. Currently, he is the designated volunteer con bartender who makes our morning power drink and noontime/evening cocktails!

HOW MUCH IS VITAMIX 5000?


Vitamix is not cheap. It’s $510.00 total (with the tax and extra pitcher). Coming home, we were ecstatic, naturallamente. Moi husband and yours truly went online to research about it. To our disappointment we found out that we paid more for buying it @ Costco instead of buying it elsewhere. Ouch! We paid an extra $70.00 for it-whahhhhh! But never mind. Our Vitamix is a keeper!
