Vita-Prep 3 Revisited

Date: July 30, 2009 12:56AM For those of you who are ready to take your Blending
experiences to the Next Level, I'd like to reiterate how pleased I am with my Vita-Prep 3. I especially like the manual controls, as every smoothie seems to require different speeds, even though the same ingredients are being used. I've replaced the old canisters with the new BPA-free, 32-ounce, Eastman Tritan. It's just perfect for individual Green Smoothies. I use it like a big glass, and just drink right out of the canister.....WY [www.jlhufford.com] [www.energiseyourlife.com] Re: Vita-Prep 3 Revisited

Date: July 30, 2009 02:07AM WY - Thanks for the update. I am still considering which blender/model I want to upgrade to, & I appreciate your input. 
Still looking at the Warings & Vitamix, less at Blendtec now. At first I thought I would like the Blendtec, but now I don't believe I want all that fancy gadgetry/computer controlled digital system to end up breaking. Keep it simple, I say... Re: Vita-Prep 3 Revisited

I don't think it's still in production. The Waring MX1000 has only a High-Low switch, in addition to the on-off. I found the Waring Canister and Blade assembly of poorer quality than the Vita-Mix's. An interesting note is the Waring motor base will accept the Vita-Mix 64-ounce canister, but not the 32 or 48-ounce. Let us know when you make a firm decision.....WY Re: Vita-Prep 3 Revisited

Date: September 24, 2009 03:51PM Do you find that the center dial moves around while blending? I recently read a review where the user had this problem, she also stated that the dial moves with almost no resistance. Re: Vita-Prep 3 Revisited

Mine is working fine. The center dial is constantly hand controlled, so even if it's a little loose, it shouldn't interfere with the blending experience.....WY Re: Vita-Prep 3 Revisited

Date: September 27, 2009 04:29AM VitaMix is an advertising subsidizer of this site (see their ads below.) They make fine machines and so does Blendtec. The two have a good competition going on which is of benefit to all health savvy consumers. Search for the topic Blendtec_HP3A and look at some of the side-by-side comparisons matching the VitaMix blenders and the HP3A Blender (also with the BPA-free jar which does wet and dry blending, warranted for three years,) and see a demonstration at a local Costco or Sam's Club where you can realize a full 7-Years warranty, a discounted price, and the advantages of those stores' return policies (6 months, if I recall correctly.) You'll be more confident you are making a good purchase of either company's blender. Manolie Re: Vita-Prep 3 Revisited

Also, ask yourself which 'type' of blender serves you best.....manual or automatic. I like the manual dials of the Vita-Mix line. You may prefer the programmable cycles of the Blentec line of blenders.....WY Re: Vita-Prep 3 Revisited

Hi WY, Is this the Vita-Mix 32 oz. BPA-Free Container you have? [www.jlhufford.com] I just want to make sure it's the same one and it fit's my Vita-Prep 3 before I order. Thanks, Michael Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 10/06/2009 06:50PM by SlamMan. Re: Vita-Prep 3 Revisited

Since I wrote about it I've gone back to using my 48-ounce Canister, which is not BPA-Free, but which I like much better. One realization I've come to over the years is to go with small meals (16-20 ounces)....be they from a Juicer or a Blender. Happy experiences.....WY Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
