Vitamix 36019 36019-1 Vita-Mix Quiet One Blender 48 oz, Black + 015547 Drive Socket Set Of 5

If you are searching for quiet, this blender is not it. If you are searching for something quieter than your decade old vitamix that you use everyday, this is it. We blend every night and our 10 year old vitamix always causes a stirry as it is as loud as a lawnmower in our kitchen at 830 at night. This blender made life much more bearable as the noise is still loud but is much more subdued than our other model which we bought at Costco. You can still hear the loud motor but the peak cracking of ice chips and frozen fruit is subdued.I think this blender actually works better than my older model due to the design of the blender cup. I’ve had fewer issues with frozen fruit getting stuck on the upper extremities and one programmed blend setting seems to be enough to get a thorough blend.The blades are sharp. Which is different from the other vitamix model I have. It at least feels sharp enough such that I don’t stick my hand inside to clean the blades.No regrets with this purchase. Wish it was even quieter but whatever.

Yes, it may command a hefty price but this thing is worth every penny. No little chunks of ice, you'll make the perfect smoothie, or frozen rita every time. Outstanding for pureeing things such as for soups and other culinary delights. If you are prone to having parties, get two of the blender attachments so while one is being rinsed, the other can be used.

Everyone in my family loves to make smoothies. Given the lockdown we are making smoothies sometimes all day from early morning to late at night. The ear splitting noise and low power of our old blender was causing all kinds of headaches, real and metaphorical. We finally decided to splurge for a a new blender. After much research and debate we settled on the Vita-Mix Quiet One. It’s everything we had hoped - more than powerful for even the most challenging smoothies that include frozen fruit (great when you can’t easily get fresh produce), peanut butter and ice. They blend perfectly and quickly. It’s indeed quiet. The cone of silence that you lower over the pitcher before blending actually works. Not perfectly of course. Don’t try to put your baby to sleep and then make a strawberry banana daiquiri. But compared to our old blender - which was pretty high quality - it’s significantly quieter. No one complains anymore. And because blending time is so much shorter it’s that much more tolerable. Finally the blender’s plastic pitcher is light and easy to pour. The handle is balanced and it’s easy to hold. The lid slides on and off easily and is easily placed into and removed from the blender base. There are preprogrammed blender buttons for different times and speeds. They are easy to use and understand. Finally, the blender is easy to clean. You can put it in the dishwasher but we use it so often we usually just clean it by hand.

I'd buy it again, however the small access port at the center of the lid leaks, must stop blending soy milk after 60-90 seconds at 100% power.The best part: the particles of cooked soy bean are so tiny that the whole (unfiltered) soybean milk is super smooth and delicious!!Also, at 100%, quiet is a relative quality, but we no longer have to evacuate the kitchen while blending.We will save back the cost within 1 year in soy milk alone for the 2 of us.

Really a workhorse and easy to maintain

I purchased this product for household (not commercial) use in June of this year and it's already stopped working. It's still under warranty but yet I have to incur the cost of shipping the large item to a repair facility in California and then wait a month or two until it's repaired. If this happens again after this first year, I'll have to do the same and also pay the cost of labor to repair it. For a product that's designed to be used dozens or hundreds of times a day (e.g., a coffee shop), it's deeply disappointing that the company won't replace the product when its only a few months old and it's hardly being used (3-4 times/day for household use).

I own a coffee shop that serves smoothies, frozen coffee drinks, milkshakes etc. I have one of these as my primary blender and it handles 95% of the workload. Purchased in 2017 and it has ripped through thousands of beverages without an issue. I'm about to purchase another and make the old one the secondary/backup blender.It also handles milkshakes with ease.We do all our frozen drinks in 16oz size only and this machine can do three at a time (make sure you have that lid on tight!). Taking apart for cleaning takes a few minutes, but is not bad at all. Does not require any tools. Customers love it as the older blenders made too much noise.

I love Vitamix blenders. I’ve owned mine for about 25 years without a problem. I bought this one for my daughter. When we tested it by blending water and ice, it leaked out of the spout part of the lid. I know it probably was a defective lid that could easily have been replaced, but I didn’t want to go through the hassle of calling VitaMix customer service. So, I sent it back.

Amazing productVery quiet comparing other and super powerful.

Bubble Tea, good texture

I no longer need to go to a juice bar.The money that it is saving me will pay for itself in less than 6 months.Powerful, quiet, and unobtrusive.

It’s a quiet machine and does a amazing job blending
