The new Vitamix Food Processor is an absolute game-changer. Using the standard blender base as the motor, all you have to do is swap the top container for a 2-in-1 high-powered blender plus food processor!
In today's video I'll review the new food processor, highlight it's features and benefits, and show what makes it unique. To test it out, I'll share a few tasty and healthy recipes. You know I've been a big fan of Vitamix for years, and I have a playlist both on my KZfaq channel and website (even more recipes over there!) so make sure to check those out. Enjoy!

WOW, A couple of years ago or maybe a bit less, I sent a mail to several of the blender manufacturers, asking them to make this, telling them that it makes no sense not to utilize that great motor for more than just blending, that it makes a lot less sense to buy a separate food processor with a weaker motor, that it is the right thing to do for the environment etc etc. I think Vitamix was one of those I mailed. Maybe they listened? 😊👏 No matter if I was the one who gave them a kick in the butt for making this or not, I am really happy that they made it! 👏👏👏😋

What I really like about this is the snap in place instead of plastic turn and and click in as food processors have. My last food processor plastic broke off so this is a much smarter system I feel. Would make a great wedding gift for my son and daughter in law! ;) Love the concept of less shelf space!

To me the most appealing part of it is how high the cutting disks sit. There is no gap between the feeder and the blade which allows produces to be completely sliced. With my current kitchen aid food processor I always end up with a nub of carrot, cucumber etc stuck at the tops and pieces that didn't get shredded.

Yes, there was definitely less scraps that got stuck above the disc.

Now its always some competition. 1 or 2 are fine. But they just overdo it now. And now when it comes to Halloween and Christmas they start with those like 2 months ahead of time and its on repeat ALL DAY!!! Like enough already.

The processor is also $450 where I live. You can buy a decent stand alone food processor for less than half that. Vitamix is off their nut. It's polycarbonate and a few metal blades, no electronics or motor. LOL.

@tony4006 3 жыл бұрын

@@CormacOSheehan I’d advise against that. The self detect system on the newer models actually prevents the motor from spinning at top speed while using the food processor, as a safety precaution. There’s no such mechanism to regulate the motor speed on the older models. Worst case scenario, the lid flies off along with the blades.
