I have a ninja. When it breaks I'm getting a vitamix. I do tons of veggie smoothies for breakfast. Rich Roll said he already put an avacado pit in his vitamix and drank it. Pretty impressive to chop that up into a smoothie consistency.

I have a juicer and a vitamix.

Guess which one has dust on it? Just kidding about the dust, but a juicer is a pain in the arse! More pulp and mess than juice.

Vitamix is the clear winner! It is used everyday for protein shakes, green machine drinks, but I haven't made soups or nut butters yet.

I do not understand why everyone says this. Mine just takes a few minutes to clean.

A vitamix and a juicer are two different animals. with a juicer you lose the benefits of the fiber but who cares if you have plenty of fiber from other sources in your diet? With a juicer you get a far more concentrated product. Just try to vitamix and drink the amount of vegetables it takes to a large serving of juice. That said both are great and it depends on what you are looking for.
