just got my vitamix couple of days ago. wow, the soups and fruit desserts. it's no lie, in seconds, with clean up even easier. just love it! will probably be able to lose those extra pounds in 2012, with a much healthier diet. with my soups, not worried about it coming out of the vitamix piping hot. I will blend or mix my soup, and afterwards, add pre-cooked 12 bean mix and heat in the microwave for 3 minutes. add seasoning for taste, and an awesome meal follows.

@ChrysinaStevens Not raw. Vegetable stock is cooked, and she said "carrots, onion and garlic" were sauteed. Then she runs the Vitamix for 4-5 minutes. After 4-5 min. in HIGH speed, believe me, everything will be steaming hot. This is not a criticism, just an observation and clarification. I'm on my 2nd. Vitamix blender. I use mine everyday, at least 2 x day. I don't know what I would do without it.
