Vacuums well
Hard to imagine this could be considered a commercial blender. It would be too slow and awkward to use in a fast paced setting. The red plug on top of the vacuum attachment is not so easy to put in the hole. The vacuum attachment does need to be charged and then screwed into the lid. The blender is quieter than my vitamix 750; however, the greenis will not grind up flax seeds or berry seeds as well as a vitamix. It does have a good vacuum to the container which takes about 50 seconds to finish extracting the air out. To make a smoothie I had to run the cycle twice on its preprogrammed smoothie setting. My vitamix only once. I do like the way I feel after drinking the smoothie made in the greenis . No feeling of bloat since air is not being incorporated into the drink. This is a plus. The machine looks like it’s built well and I hope it last a long time. I think the blade should be re-configured so it will grind seeds better. Read more
