I don’t give product shout outs often because
- Well, lets be honest, no one is paying me to rave about how wonderful their food/cleaner/make your life better product is.
2. Keeping with the honest theme, there just aren’t that many products worth a rant. I mean there are some good ones, but ones that are SO good you need to blog about them…thats rare.
But…
I am going to make a Vita-mix shout out because, it, my friends, really is pretty great.
I bought my first vita 5 years ago after becoming slightly obsessed with the first blog I ever stumbled upon a blog called Heather Eats Almond butter, which sadly no longer exists. Heather, along with a handful of other great bloggers sold me on all the wonderful smoothies/ice creams/soups the vita can make and after I saved up all the money I earned from swim lessons that summer, I purchased one. (Yes, I was in grad school and poor.)
Check out this gem of a picture from my old blog on the day I got it:
My vita has been dearly beloved for the past 5 years. I have used it to make everything from guacamole to mac and cheese sauce (both the vegan cauliflower kind and the not so vegan butter filled kind) and of course my favorite, smoothies. Lots of smoothies.
About a month ago it began making a very strange noise (like constantly squeaking sytrofoam) and began to smell like a bond fire of chemicals each time it was turned on. This is when I knew we had to cease using the vita, which made me almost want to cry. Almost. Until I remembered, it has a life time warranty. But I was quite skeptical, assuming I would have to jump through hoops and perhaps hire a lawyer to actually get the vita fix for free.
I am happy to say, I was wrong. All it took was an email and enduring a few vita-less weeks. But guess what? We now have a working vita, that I didn’t pay anything to fix.
Cheers to good customer service!
