When I made almond butter a few weeks ago my machine had to work so hard and I can't remember what the blades looked like when I first got my vitamix. Would anyone be willing to put a photo in here of their vitamix blade so I can compare? Maybe this is way too much to ask of you. I am so new to all of this. I am also a computer novice and haven't got a digital camera myself. Is the blade supposed to lie flat or are two of them upturned a bit, one a little more upturned than the other? The machine is working fine as far as I know, but I am uneasy that I may have bent the blade. Pesky aren't I?! :o
