I went to my twin brother's home a few weeks ago. I didn't bring my vitamix and all he had was this cheapo Braun blender. I had to have my green smoothie so I reluctantly used his blender.
Well, was I ever amazed!
It uses a glas pitcher in which the stuff is blended which is a positive (no chemicals leaching into the drink).
I was amazed at how well it did.
Whenever I blend almonds or raisins in my metal vitamix there are always lots of raisins not blended or pieces of almonds left. But in the Braun blender everything gets blended. It does ice cubes too!
It just goes to prove that for just $49.00 or less you can get as good or better blender than a vitamix.
Now I must be fair and say I don't know if the braun can blend sprouted wheat seeds in large amounts to make flat bread yet as I have not tried that. It puts a strain on my vitamix to do large batches so I'm pretty sure the braun won't be able to do that unless I make smaller batches.
The braun also blends the greens to a much smaller microsize also. With the vitamix I often would have large pieces of stems from my vegies left but not with the braun. I just start it up and feed stuff into it.
For some reason, my body is telling me that my stuff tastes better too since nothing is leaching into the drink since it is done in glass.
Also, for those of you who like making almond milk shakes, this Braun is great! It blends the almonds completely unlike the vitamix. And it blends ice cubes completely.
Have fun blending!
