It really is wild, blessed you enjoyed!

@@TheRawAdvantage I ordered a couple of boxes of Martha's Best Papayas. They may be ripe enough for a taste test, today!! Thank you for the recommendations!

Ohh I hope you love them, let me know!

@@TheRawAdvantage Martha's Best is appropriately named! They are the most delicious papayas that we have ever enjoyed! Thanks for spreading the good news 🙏

@@williamuhl252 so lucky here you. Can’t get good ones :(

Bliss you for the comment, happy you enjoy!!

Thanks a ton! Ohh it went down smooth, I find smoothies to be super easy on the stomach.

Stoked you enjoyed too :) John is great! From what I have learnt the largest part of oxidization technically occurs from the blending, then, because air is “whipped” into the mixture during blending, further oxidization takes place after the fact. So no, they still would be different as there is more damage in the first place and less active antioxidants to keep it fresh anyways. Hope this helps :)

Such a pleasure! They are pretty epic I gotta say, I wish I could but when I mentioned immersion blenders it’s from me using them cheffing at festivals, such as Woodstock, as they have them there. At the end of the day either way your getting lots of goodness in :)

More than my pleasure for sure!! As a side note, the flexzion handles seeds like flax no problem at all, dare I say smoother than vitamix being honest, it doesn’t quite have the 2 litre capacity tho!

Thanks for the positive comment and feedback, blessed to share.

@@TheRawAdvantage which is the quietest?

@@amonsmith3096 ohhh prolly the flexzion but it’s close

More than my pleasure, I was honestly hesitant to want to like vacuum blending as I LOVE my vitamix and have been using and repping them well over a decade! But, the proof is in the result!

That’s awesome! I am a bit too, but I am sure it’s due to warranty concerns. Vitamix is known to have the best warranty in the buis and I’ve never seen a vacuum blender last more than a few years, usually less.

@@TheRawAdvantage the quality of the smoothie is way more important that the life of the blender. A great warranty won't improve the quality of a smoothie in an "Airamix" Vitamix. In one of John's vids on converting an Vitamix with a Void system he says now they come with an RF chip on the jug to stop people doing that, and some even have an extra bubbles feature...ditch Vitamix they are not for quality fruit smoothies.

I’ll admit I would disagree, while I for sure prefer vacuum blending it’s not so major imho that I would ditch vitamix, especially since it’s fairly easy to convert into a more powerful vacuum blender. Their bend is on the culinary aspect rather than nutrition first, but I do hope they make a vacuum model as well. All this said I hope the Nuwave lasts long and works super well for you!

Thanks a ton brother, appreciate that feedback! I kid you not when I say no blindfold could make a difference, there is such a difference that it wouldn’t take 1/4 second to know, seriously!

@@TheRawAdvantage haha I figured so... It's so obvious just by the rich color how much higher quality it is from the vacuum. So glad this technology is coming out 🙏

Me too! It’s wild hey!!

I fully hear you and thought the same thing when I first heard of vacuum blenders, but, trying it I couldn’t believe how much of a difference it makes! I also hear you on the blending time, I mention this in the video, but felt that was the best way to compare. In reality I could run both shorter but I was going on the flexzion cycle. It does nuts and seeds well, just not quite as thick as vitamix, so no nut butters or nice cream

@@TheRawAdvantage hi! I don't want to assume, what about kale? Smooth using the Flexzion?

Yep for sure it’s quite good at making anything I’ve put in it super super smooth! Some thicker smoothies, like banana with no water, I’ve had to actually pick up the blender and shake it to get it started, but there isn’t any green or nut or seed or dried fruit I’ve blended in it thet didn’t get fully smooth

More than my pleasure, n glad it is helpful!thanks for the kind comment, hope you enjoy whichever you choose!

@@TheRawAdvantage no problem! But I am DEFINITELY getting the Flexzion. Even tho not as powerful as the Vitamix it still blends VERY smoothly which I love. I don't mind shaking it up if it comes to it lol. The color, taste and nutrient difference has me sold! Also the price is amazing!!!

@@simplycolossal5140 I think you will be very pleased! Shaking it up is fun anyways ahaha Let me know how you enjoy!

Unfortunately no, the flexzion beeps like that when you start it and when it finishes, also if you leave it plugged in it will beep after a few minutes. For the vitamix it’s the Canadian “total nutrition Center” which is essentially they main base model. Overall for what your wanting I’d bet a Vitamix, any of em, would be best. I am about to launch a video showing a inexpensive way to make the vitamix a vacuum blender too :) I don’t know much about the tribest or kuvigs. Hope you find the one that works best for you!

Thanks! I prefer to just use the whole food ingredients unless completely necessary, adding water or ice, well, waters it down. If one like a bit of a cool temp I would suggest a bit of frozen fruit rather than ice.

A good tip for that is to freeze the fruit. Much creamier

Aww thanks for sharing your experience and satisfaction, so stoked you and your kids are enjoying it too!! 🙏🏼💚

Aww bliss you Marina, pleasure to share and indeed I do love both, could easily do with either too :)

@@TheRawAdvantage ~ how do I heart you?, this is the only way I know how to

marina mares awww the same back to you 🙏🏼❤️ I have emojis added to my phone :)

Happy you enjoyed, I was blown away to be honest!

Thanks for letting me know, I just updated it. A few years back I clicked a button on my site that took away the dates posted from the url, but, it doesn’t automatically forward the new addresses to the old, blows my mind! Ahah lots of links to correct! Ahh Enjoy the video n post!

I’m sorry to say I am unsure, I haven’t tried the other ones myself so it would just be guessing. John Kohler may have better info and some available at discountjuicers.com 🙏🏼

That’s tough to say for sure, I’d likely say the vitamix with the extra HP does, but the flexzion has a even smoother result with the thicker less foamy blend.

Truthfully I haven’t tried mostly frozen with it, if I’m making nice cream / icecream I just use the vitamix.

While they aren’t interchangeable the vacuums blades are much sharper anyways! It’s really power / speed that makes the vitamix rather than the blades.

I don’t think he does, he has a lot of different ones but not this comparison. This was the vacuum blender he recommended most! Such a pleasure 🙏🏼

I know John has a comparison with the Kuvings!

It would be really challenging to determine the blending time for each, I have thought of this but due to those realities, as well as the fact I can’t find the flexzion on Amazon anymore, I haven’t. That said I can tell you the results are very very similar no matter how long you blend in the vitamix, it always makes the smoothie more frothy compared to the vacuum blender and the vacuum blender always looks brighter, tastes better and takes longer to separate.

@@TheRawAdvantage i understand. thanks for responding. :) i wonder if i use the vitamix for juicing using a strainer, will that reduce air bubbles and minimize oxidization and separation? would appreciate if you can share your experience. thanks. :)

More than my pleasure! I use the vitamix to juice but it still whips the air into the food while blending so juicing it after wouldn’t eliminate this issue, if anything that would cause a bit more after. Personally this isn’t anything I worry about but am conscious of. A cold press juicer would cause the least oxidization, perhaps they will have vacuum cold pressed juice in the future.

@@TheRawAdvantage thanks :)

Blessed you enjoyed, thanks for the comment and sub, hope you love a ton more!!

Depending on how thick you make the nut butter or cheeze it could work, but not as thick as in a vitamix with a tamper.

@@TheRawAdvantage thank you for replying.

Pleasure for sure :)

Good choice!

I love both for sure and if I could only use one it would be the Vitamix. That said I wouldn’t say your statement about peeing out the extra is accurate. Sure you can only absorb so much at one time / speed, but to say you accurately 100% know what that upper threshold is for each nutrient, which could be different for each person and even day week or month, imho is a stretch. The vacuum excels in preserving more antioxidants which have been shown to vastly help with free radicals and of course keep many of the nutrients sensitive to oxidization intact. Beyond this the flavour and texture differences are quite profound. Once vitamix makes a good vacuum blender... booommmbb

Thanks much brother!! I feel the same way! Indeed I will be using xperiencify, so excited to roll it out, wishing you a amazing launch too!!

Thanks brother, hope you love it a ton, let me know!!

I decided to return it. Here's why. 1. it's insanely loud, I have a noise sensitivity and live in a small studio home. As such I literally have to run out the door and go another 30 feet to get away from the vacuum noise. It also makes an unnecessary and super irritating beep noise everytime it's turned on or I change settings or even just start and stop it so I can manually control the pulse. 2. The lowest setting is still too high which aside from noise increases oxidation by splashing around food. 3. If I want to test my the blend to see if it needs adjusting by adding to it, I have to go through the whole vacuum process again, including running out the door. 4, The main thing, I found that this thing still creates more oxidation is my food than expected. I can see taste, and smell, noticeable effects of oxidation with this blender, not saying it's a lot of oxidation however I thought it would reduce this more than it does. 5. I probably had higher and thus unmet expectations because my smoothies must not be as bad as most other peoples because I practice some techniques to minimize oxidation in my non vacuum blender. My blender is the Oster BLSTSS-PZ0-126 which works better than most blenders because of the shape of the container, (I don't think square shape blenders are ideal), and that the lowest setting is actually really low and the highest setting is still sufficient. Depending what I'm blending, I use a potato masher to compact my ingredients down and I use the lowest setting possible and the shortest time possible that still gets the job done. I put my ingredients in an order that will allow me shorter blend time and lower settings. I make an effort to minimize splashing and the air tornado in the middle. I sometimes open the blender and spoon push the ingredients so I can then blend again on lower settings instead of blasting the power higher than I need. By following these techniques I get just about the same amount of oxidization in my foods as when I use the vacuum blender. Depending on what I'm making I may even get slightly less oxidation or slightly more oxidation in my non vavuum blender compared to this Flexzion. It''s more so the soft ingredients that do better in my non-vacuum blender but the harder ingredients cause more splashes and thus more oxidation than the vacuum blender, but it's not a lot more. So overall comparable levels of oxidation as my non-vacuum blender but the Oster blender is is cheaper, quieter, more simple to use, and takes up less space. 5. Everytime people do these vacuum smoothie vs non vacuum smoothies comparisons they are showing products that are blended 10x stronger and 10x longer than they needed to be blended. And when you overblend your non vacuum smoothie than of course in that case the blender vacuum is the clear winner. I seriously question these tests that are done and quotes on nutrient reduction / preservation boasting 4x more nutrients, ect, because surely everyone is doing overly aggressive blending in these tests. But if you put in a little basic effort to compact your bled, take it, blend lowest possible, blend shortest possible then I think this vacuum blender is definitely not worth it at all. However, if someone made a vacuum blender with the Oster shaped glass jar, low settings that were actually low, a more quiet vacuum and blending, I would reconsider getting one because it would genuinely have much less oxidation. 6. The picture ad on amazon says 10 speed control but I don't see any way to change 10 speeds and when I email the company about it they said they don't even know about that and had to email the manufacturer and didn't respond back about that . 7. My first unit came defective and only vacuumed and would not change settings so I could not actually blend with it. They did replace the broken unit with a working unit but I don't like it... 8. I've decided to return the blender because of all the prior listed reasons. They claim a 30 day satisfaction guarantee and the blender said "Free Returns" at the time of purchase. I received my replacement blender 1 month from the time of my original purchase and instead of giving me a 30 day return window extension based on when I got a replacement they were saying they would take the return but I would have to pay shipping. When you hit "Return And Replace" on Amazon, it extends the return window based on the replacement including the free return shipping window. But because this replacement was done through me messaging them about the first unit not working, there was no official replacement in the amazon system and so the company. In my view that's pretty unfair business. Imagine advertising a product with free returns and then bypassing the customers free return by sending them a broken unit followed by a working at the end of the 30 day return window and not extending their free return window...? That's pretty low in my opinion but fortunately Amazon helped me out and I'm getting my full refund back. . 9. However, my experience is only mine and other people might like this blender. If you get a working unit, don't mind the loud noise, and are used to using over powered blenders and bad blending technique that splash around your ingredients for 10x longer than you need to, this blender might be a good choice because you will get better results than you are used to. 10. I honestly was about 90% sure I'd love this blender but unfortunately I was wrong. The concept of vacuum blending is not flawed, it's just I consider this to be a poor application of a good concept Yes this is a super long post for KZfaq but it will also be my Amazon review soon. I would like to potentially save other people time and money who perhaps share some commonalities with some of the points in my review.

Steve Harper sorry to hear you weren’t satisfied, thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts. 🙏🏼

You're welcome :) It was still a good experience to use a vacuum blender and has planted some seeds in me for the future because as I said, I still support the concept of vacuum blending in general. I hope that eventually a vacuum blender is released that better lines up with what I would consider to be the theoretical ideal vacuum blender.. But if I can't find anything, I may look into those kits and / or tutorials in which people turn regular blenders into vacuum blenders so I can keep my using my current favorite blender but upgrade it to vacuum status.

I really like both but if I could only go for one I would pick the Vitamix :)

@@TheRawAdvantage Thanks for your reponse , but i anderstand blender vaccum is better for vitamin C , and Vitamin C is the best of Vitamin all of time (Linus Pauling) and all story on Vitamin C is just crazy , but whit vitamax blender you can addon vitamin C powder on your smootie , is good too , i use Vitamin C pur powder all day (5g minimum per day) but if i can use more vitamin C whit my Smootie , is better , i want maxiumum vitamin C by day , i will go on Blender Vaccum , ;)

There we go, if vitamin c is you main concern then yes using a vacuum blender and or adding something like Amla powder to smoothies could help :)

I was doubtful as well before I tried a vacuum blender but they blew me away! Don’t get me wrong I still use my vitamix even without the diy hack, but it does make a huge difference in taste texture color and antioxidant profile, this has been documented with studies. If you haven’t watched my video on “are vacuum blenders worth it with John Kohler” you may find it interesting. 🙏🏼

I did buy it. It's amazing! The place of the handle is perfect. Never liked it on the Vitamix jug. What a difference!

I was going to do just that but John recommended I get the flexzion instead. I am Considering trying that too as well as making my own convert kit for my vitamix jug

TheRawAdvantage Me finks another video in the making then lol 😉👍....

@@loveisthekeythatwillsetyou4648 for sure, gotta do more testing, first draft is okish but needs improvement before spreading it :)

I really hope so, but, till then I am currently working on a vitamix hack to make mine vacuum. Video on that soon!

@@TheRawAdvantage why didn't you get the kit for $ 180.-? Much less complicated and it's a big jug. It works so well on my 10yr old Vitamix. The handle on it is placed so much better than on the Vitamix jug. I'm very happy that you brought it to my attention. Never will make smoothies in the regular Vitamix again. And I'm saying that after only one single try. Amazing! Oh, and it doesn't make smoothies warm. Thanks Chris! You rock!!!

I originally was going to do that and I asked John, he said he honestly thought it was better / more worth it to just buy the Flexzion for less money, I knew he had tested a ton so I went with his advice. I may try that as well and am currently fitting my vitamix with a pump, video in the future on that

You rock👍🏼 Looking forward to more videos

There is a vacuum version out i think in their commercial section

It does a pretty good job but doesn’t fully pulverize raspberry seeds etc never seen any blender fully do that!

Thanks!

They are pretty awesome!

For grapes I prefer organic for sure, but I always go for seedless, especially with grapes and watermelon, and have no worry about seedless fruit for a variety of reasons.

For sure a accident, but, I’ve done the same many times now with the lid closed the whole time and even 1/2 the blending time with the vitamix and there is still marked differences in taste and texture, as well as color and time for separation. I still use the vitamix a ton and love it but the difference is pretty amazing!

The gas? Not sure what you mean??

What does this even mean? Dumb.

And you're looking buff, which is cool.

Arrrrrrr ahaha thanks!!
