If I get a Vitamix, do I also need a food processor?

[sosiesmom]

I am confused. I have a blender which works ok but has real problem grinding nuts. I wanted to get a food processor but then thought that maybe a Vitamix is ALL I would need. Do you know? THanks.

A Vitamix can sometimes be "too powerful" for some jobs. Blenders are not good for grinding nuts because it's more difficult to get it out of there if it blends it too well.

Trust me...it's GOOD to have a food processor along with a blender (even if it's a Vitamix!)

I need to check the boards more carefully! I appreciate the pointer.
