Monterey Pitcher fr...

I want this so bad I can taste it.
Did you know you can make scrambled eggs in this thing?
Not that I would, but just sayin.
You COULD.
What a beaut!
looks fantastic! i need this
It is beautiful
aw man i need this to blend things so hard
YES PLEASE!
oh my......a Vita-Mix.....I am weak just looking at it!
pretty!
I have wanted one of these FOR LIKE EVER!!!
omg! my friend has one of these and she says it absolutely amazing! i need it!
no whammy no whammy no whammy no whammy... stop!
We wasted our money on a Magic Bullet (my wife insisted we get once because her mom used hers to make smoothies) so we are without a real blender.
If I want to blend something I either have to use our Magic Bullet (which is almost useless) or our food processor (which is tiny).
Needless to say I hope I win this...
Life would be grand, if I were to win this.
I've been wanting one for so long!
hahaha funny gozacgo, i think everyone definetly wants this one
This is just what I need to start of my healthy 2010!
I have wanted one of these for a long time!
i'm sooo excited for this giveaway
I would love to have one of these!
Hey, I grew up with a vitamixer! My step-mother swore it could sustain life single handedly...
A Vitamix has been #1 on my wish list for years! Alas, no one, including me, has been willing to dish out that $600 for a blender yet. :)
Lovely lovely unit! I've heard stories of heroic proportions in regards to this machine!! add me to the list of "wanters"..
Want it want it want it!
really really want and need
AT, thanks so much for offering this as a holiday giveaway! I love Vitamix already & I don't even own 1! After friends' raves & in-store demos w/ samples ... who wouldn't?!
This item is out of reach ($) for so many who want to start a raw diet, or who want to try some raw or vegan in their diet. It's the best, no doubt. I tried a kale/mint/pear smoothie a friend made in her Vitamix. Excellent, and my own blender could never do the job. Raw Boutenkos recommend only Vitamix, I think.
p.s. environmentally, the vitamix makes up for its electricity use in meals delivered without heat. It's an amazing machine. Would love to have one.
I have been juicing since July ....the vitamix would be a great addition to chopping up the green leafy veggies and other goodies for my juice! I would love this!
This would be great to own!
pick me! pick me!
You can make hot soup in this blender--it's that awesome.
i want
my best friend from high school had one of these...they are AMAZING!!!! we used to do all kinds of stuff with it. that was a LONG time ago! would be soooo great to have!!!!!! pick me!!!! please!!!
omg, wanted one of these forever!!1
What a FABULOUS prize! I've wanted one of these for-ever.
I DREAM about owning a VitaMix. I want nothing else more than a VitaMix!!
me likee very much - me wantee
this would be amazing to have
I just had to toss my last blender. In a puff of smoke and grinding gears, I killed another one. This last one was a black and decker brand one. I kill a blender every year or so. The black and decker one lasted almost two years.
Yes, please!
viva vita!
Like many others, I have wanted one of these for a long time. This is all I want from Santa this year!
ooh! I would love this! The osterizer blender just doesn't cut it (pun intended) so well when it comes to my morning smoothies and making frappe's! Please pick me!
YES PLEASE. Professional Chef here...could really use this. REALLY!
pleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease!!!
WHat an excellent company....my friend has this and is in love with it...i want to be in love with my own!
Am I being greedy to want this blender so much?!!!!
I really really want a vitamix! My sister has one and her family uses it everyday to make frosty ice cream, grind wheat berries, and make soups and stews... She owns a natural health food store and they use it there too!!! I dream about owning one! I really really do! Yes please Santa!
smoothie heaven!
I want this Vitamix....so-o-o-o-o very, very much.
I would love to win this. I have wanted one of these for a long time.
I've heard good things about the Vita-Mix powerful motors.
Very nice.
I've blown out 2 food processors in the past year. That's the difference between quality workmanship and cheap imitations.
santa, remember I told you I wanted this...your loving jew
gorgeous!
With a chef for a husband , four kids under 10 including a 5 month old, do a lot of BLENDING in our house (drinks, baby food, smoothies, sipping soups, sauces, dressings, glazes, etc etc ) would love this!!!!!
You guys have no idea how great these things are. My mom has one and they make the best smoothies ever.. as well as shakes, and soup, and ice-cream. I'm not kidding. They are amazing and I hope to goodness I have a chance in winning one. :)
love it!!!
this would help avoid the blue-smoke-smell I get whenever I use my hamilton beach blender- which should be able to handle smoothies and soups but doesn't do too well :(
My fiance and I are getting married in August and this is SO much nicer than the blender we registered for. Until then we are stuck with her dinky magic bullet and my blender which my roommate likes to commandeer to make stinky green smoothies. Hook me up...
This is an incredible giveaway! I'm drooling all over my laptop keyboard! Thanks for the chance to win!!!!
please make my dreams come true! i've pined over the vitamix for almost 10 years!!
Great
i neeeeeeeeed this. badly.
omg i covet thee :)
I'm visualizing whirled peas.
this would look great on my counter!
Yes please!
I think that this would be an awful way to make scrambled eggs...somehow I just don't think they'd cook, without which they wouldn't really scramble...but if the first guy who left that comment really wants to try it, I won't get in his way.
Personally, I'd rather make some awesome fruit blends, margaritas, etc...but hey - to each his own, right?
This will be welcome in my kitchen!
Dibs!
But it's so perfect!!
Our blender is terrible and my sensory sensitive two year old just about lives off smoothies. I really want one of these!
Please, please, please. I would love this!
This would make life so sweet--would be wonderful for some tasty treats and to make diet food too.
nom nom nom!
it would change my life!
mixie mixie
I had a vita mix back in the 80s and it was fantastic. I did quite a lot of things with it, including grinding up wheatberries and making bread dough from the whole wheat they produced. I made my own orange juice concentrate from organic oranges with part of the rind. It's long gone and I can't afford a new one. I really would love to win this one (as I know many others here would too).
this is exactly what i want to give my sis as one of her wedding gifts!
our friends just got this and LOVE it!
Thanks so much for the giveaways!
these are THE BEST blenders in the world! They have them at my favorite coffee shop and they are the only way to go for blending smoothies and other frozen drinks.
Vitamixes are the best - I can't wait to own one and use it like crazy.
I had one in the 70's. I'm dying for a replacement.
I absolutely love my Vitamix, but I've had it for ten years. Would love a replacement (even though ours is still going)
It's a vegan's dream come true.
Vitamix?? Hmmm...new an very interesting concept. A healthy 2010....only if we win this baby.
I have been drooling over one of these for ages...oh my lawdy I NEED it.
This is better than my old Waring.
my crap blender started to smoke while i was using it this past weekend...so clearly that was a sign that i should win this!
omg. I'd LOVE this, it's a dream come true if I got it. :sigh:
Hope I win! We don't own a blender and have wanted this one for awhile. I would happily make breakfast smooties, puree soups, make pesto...the possibilities are endless!
Gorgeous! Mine is 20yrs old, I want this so badly! I have an empty spot on my counter for this baby.
I want this item.
I have wanted one of these every since I saw one on the set of Michael Chiarello's Easy Entertaining and he cooked butternut squash soup in it. WoW!!!
Do want.
This would be fun for me and the kids. We are vegeterians so we are always making fruit smoothies and other healthy shakes.
Momma needs a new blender
I would love to win this!!
want & need!
I don't have a blender yet , it would be a perfect addition to our new kitchen and a healthy habit..*crossing fingers*
Holy Sir Mix-a-Lot, Batman! This has been on my amazon wish list for months...
omg, this would be perfect. i've killed too many blenders - hopefully if i win this, it'd put a stop to the blender murder spree i'm on.
omg, I totally read that as "i've killed too many BARTENDERS." lol!!
Our Kitchen Aid is old enough to vote and it's smoothies are now lumpies. Happens to the best of us I suppose. As my kids say, I want and need this blender.
That is hot!
Mi guasta... I've always wanted one of these!!! Fingers and toes crossed...
whizzz....oh, the delicious things one could whip up with this incredible machine...!
oh, wow!!! a vitamix.
would love this !!!Thanks
This made me want to go watch "Will it Blend" videos on YouTube.
My grandmother has one that I covet...I so badly want one!
i get this error in the form box no matter what browser i use:
400 Bad Request
nginx/0.6.31
anyone else having this issue..?!
My life would change with this.
I've been looking at these online, but cann't afford the steep price. It would be the best thing ever if I won this!
how I have dreamed of this mixer! thrilled that you all are giving one away.
Oh, this is wonderful. I'd have to reorganize my kitchen around it, but it would be worth it.
how amazing this would be, for making hummus and fresh nut milks and soups! oooooh, i can just taste the dinner parties! one super amazing machine!
This is a great product. I am hoping it will aid in our quest to make all of our own homemade baby food one day. We'd probably use it to make all sorts of slushy drinks too!
deliciousness
I need it!!! Baby food! Me food! Doggie food! I need it!
This is wonderful, I love iit!
My head spins with the possibilities!
This would come in handy for throwing dinner parties.
I really hope I win this. I need one of these really badly. When I saw this contest I was so excited to have an opportunity to win it.
great prize would love this!! Thanks
i was going to say i want this soooo badly!
but I see about 50 others before me already have.
ah to hell with it!
I WANT THIS SOO BADLY! I have dreamt of owning a Vitamixer!! Please dear baby Jesus!
