The Rolls-Royces of the blender and juicer world.

Aren't they just one of the most awesome-looking kitchen appliances you've ever seen?

When I saw the thread title I thought for sure I was going to see two beautiful puppies or adorable kitties.

Kick-*** Appliances are cool too.

You can't really pet them very much but they don't eat a lot either.

Nice purchases Hector. :grin:

[Hector]

Johnny... :smiley1:

Actually...a puppy might be on the way as well... :yes: :grin:

Thanks, I love 'em...

:grin:

[Bill]

[Hector]

Damn sweet what are their names.........:smiley1:

The Vitamix is called Darth Vader Jr...and the Omega is called RoboCop Jr...

[Dark Shadow]

Awesome! Are they papered & are you going to breed them? :grin:

[Hector]

The Vitamix has 2+ hp...it can make anything from ice cream, peanut butter, dough..to hot soup...and margaritas in between...and it comes with a 7 year warranty.

The Omega has a whopping 10 year warranty...it's a slow-masticating juicer that can even juice wheatgrass...something Jack Lalanne's Juiceman just can't do.

I'm in love...

[Hector]

The reason I didn't get a high speed juicer like Lalanne's Juiceman (or the higher priced Breville)...because they just oxides and pulverizes stuff...and take the flavors out...I love the slow-masticating features of mine...the key is slow-churning juicers...not those high speed fast ones.

Here...see for yourself (especially check out how the tomato juice comes out and differs from these two)...

Those are cool Hec. Enjoy mastication in the privacy of your home.

[toysrus]

Maybe I'm being super lazy with this question. But are they both easy to breakdown & clean?

With my health issues I may need to somehow find some cash and invest in a juicer.

[Cmonster]

My blender and juicer are named Luke and Leia. :yes: Nice gets there, brother-- Use 'em in good health.

[Hector]

Thanks, Sandy...I want to be you...

:juggleyes_y::smiley13::yes::biggrin:

The Vitamix is extremely easy to wash...done in 30 seconds...lol.

The Omega juicer takes a bit more time...but it's easier and quicker to wash than lets say the Juiceman...I can clean it within 2-3 minutes...there's an art to it though...lol.

[Hector]

Easy to make peanut butter (or any other nut) in the Vitamix...

Easy to clean too...

[toys2cool]

very nice

[jessica]

We have a Vitamix too. I love it. If you need green tea it's cheaper at those Asian stores than on the internet. I love the way it makes the best snow cones. There's a Cash & Carry in Oakland where they have lots of flavors and parking is free. The flavors run under $4 for a large bottle, which usually run for $6 and up for a third of the size at grocery stores.

[TEXASFETT]

Thats pretty cool so you can make some crazy drinks! Better gets some goggles for experimentation:smiley1:

[Hector]

I know...I'm working on a prickly pear margarita...will make it when that particular fruit is available...

:yes: :grin:


Jess...awesome...I love snow cones...I'll look into it...thanks.

Fruit smoothies...just froze these fresh fruits...yum...
