Hello Nicole,
thank you for your question.
For smoothies, it is often sufficient to simply rinse the container with water.
For greasy ingredients, you can, of course, add a drop of dishwashing liquid.

Hello Margit,

thank you very much for your message

In this case, we recommend a spatula, which we also offer in our webshop.

The spatula helps to empty the container without scratching it – even with viscous ingredients

Best regards from Berlin!

Hello Hillu,

Thank you for your question.

All our blenders are capable of blending wild herb smoothies, and you will definitely taste the distinct difference from your current blender!

Grinding flour from cereals, can also be done with all blenders in our shop, without any problems.

Of course, Vitamix models are represented at the upper end of the price table and the barrier for a first-time customer is high. However, with Vitamix you also have a blender "for life" with a very long warranty period and robust workmanship. And if you really feel like it wasn't worth it, we also offer a 45-day money-back guarantee.

If it's a "budget" Vitamix you're after, the E310 with a 1.4 liter container or the TNC 5200 with a 2 liter container would be the recommendation. For the ultimate creaminess, the Pro 750 with the special 2,0 liter Pro container would be the recommendation, but it also costs almost twice as much…

Best regards,

Hi Juliane,

Thank you very much for your questions.

Except for cake/bread dough, we don't see any problems.

Sticky, tough dough types, such as a yeast dough, mostly result in the blender going into heat protection. Your hands or a food processor are much better suited. Not to mention the cleaning afterwards...

Crêpe or pancake dough are no difficulty because they are rather liquid.

You don't really need a separate grinding container for this. It only makes sense if you grind regularly and want to use an extra container for this.

Best regards,
Your GrueneSmoothies.com team

Hello Susanne,

thank you for your questions and the nice compliment!

As for the minimum quantities, the two blenders are no different from each other.

Nut purees are quite challenging depending on the type of nut, especially almonds and hazelnuts. It helps if you can vary the speed in the lower speed range, i.e. at low speeds. Unfortunately, the Puro Originale cannot do that.

In the higher speed range, the Vitamix Creations 2.0 can call up about 25% higher blade tip speed during operation (at 1.5 liters), resulting in more finely pureed smoothies.

Price and looks would probably argue for the Puro Originale given your tastes, but if you are deliberately ignoring that, the Creations would probably be a better choice.

With best regards

Hello Saskia,

Thank you very much for your question.

The keyword "small quantities" definitely speaks for the Creations. The S30 can also prepare smaller quantities, but it is not quite as resilient as the Creations. The S30 generates heat more quickly and needs a cooling break every now and then.

We would therefore recommend the Creations.

With kind regards

Your GrueneSmoothies.com Team

Hello Yvonne,

thank you very much for your question.

The creaminess in the Pro 300 is noticeable. During the blind tastings at our store, everyone notices the difference between Pro300 and the Creations, even if it's their first time drinking a smoothie from a Vitamix. It is often described as fluffy and light.

Since a Vitamix is a really long-term purchase, we always recommend looking for what your needs are first and then answering the price question.

If maximum creaminess is really important, then the recommendation clearly falls on the Pro 300. However, if the smoothie quantities are always less than 500 ml, and you would only use the 1.4-liter container anyway, making the Creations 2.0 more attractive.

If you realize that you actually want the Pro 300 but are only deterred by the price, we would like to mention two reasons that could justify this for you:
1. The warranty period is 2 years longer. That means you will be able to use it for at least 7 years without any new costs.
2. It is quieter. It's only a few decibels, but it makes an audible difference at this noise level.

We hope that these points have helped you with your decision-making.

Therefore, we wish you a lot of fun while blending, regardless of what you decide!

Best regards,

Your GrueneSmoothies.com Team

Hello Nele,

thank you for your question.

The Creations would definitely be suitable for your desired applications!

As for the height, it will definitely fit under the wall cabinets with 52 cm. You will probably also be able to remove the tank from under the cabinet, so the motor block could theoretically stay there. However, this might be a bit inconvenient. Alternatively, you can, of course, move the motor block forward every time.

If the tamper is used (for example, if something gets stuck or with ice cream, etc.), you must pull the blender forward in any case.

The Pro 300 would also fit under the wall cabinet, but if you only want one container, then stick with the Creations!

Best regards,

Your GrueneSmoothies.com Team

Hello Gabi,

sorry for the late response and thank you for your questions.

Crushed ice is no problem at all in the Creations 2.0. Simply add about 100-150 ml of water to the ice cubes.

For a cocktail party where fresh cocktails are mixed, the 1.4 liter container is definitely recommended, as it is easier to empty and clean than the 2 liter container (it is simply faster and easier to handle).

We would rather advise against the S30 in the mentioned case because the ice cube size might be too large in most cases. They could get stuck above the blade, which means they won't be crushed. This comes into play, especially when the liquid content is rather small (100-150 ml). The Vitamix Creations with a 1.4-liter container is certainly the better choice.

Best regards and have fun blending!

Hello Fabian,

thank you for the question.

As an addition, it should be emphasized that the original scope of delivery is important, which also includes the box with all the accessories. It is best to simply keep everything. The shipping coast for the return will have to be paid by the customer.

A few more tips on volume:

1. Take a look at the Noise-Cancelling Pad – You won't notice much of it yourself, but your neighbors will thank you for it. (Lowers the volume in surrounding rooms)

2. Depending on the ingredients, it is not necessary to operate the blender at maximum speed to achieve the creamiest results. Lower speed is of course quieter!

Hello Charlotte,

unfortunately we don't expect any returns in Petrol at all, as we had already discontinued it many weeks ago. We are sorry.

Best regards,

Your GrueneSmoothies.com team

Hello dear Charlotte,

thank you for the question.

The beautiful color Petrol is unfortunately sold out and will definitely not come back.There unfortunately only is the Vitamix Pro 300 in cream. (has a few advantages, but is more expensive)

How about red? The Creations red looks quite subtle and classy.

Best regards,

Your GrueneSmoothies.com team

Hello Helga,

thank you very much for the interesting question.

Indeed, it is difficult to imagine if you have not seen it with your own eyes.

Especially for more viscous preparations, such as a grainy baby food, pesto, hummus or ice cream, the tamper is used and it reaches deeper into the corners in the long 2-liter container than in the short 1.4-liter container.

The S30 can handle even smaller minimum quantities and can be emptied more easily because of the unscrewable blade block.

If you like to prepare 1.5 liters of green smoothies and drink them as a "breakfast substitute" throughout the morning, you will blend twice with the S30 due to the 1.2-liter limit and only once with the Vitamix Creations 2.0.

If the focus is on smoothies and space is not an issue, the Vitamix Creations 2.0 with 2-liter container is therefore the better choice even for a 1-person households.

Best regards,

Your GrueneSmoothies.com team

Hello S. Tühl,

yes, cereals are not a problem in the Vitamix Creations 2.0 / TNC 5200.

Energy Balls work in the TNC, but it can happen that the overheating protection kicks in and you have to wait 15 minutes until the device has cooled down.

Nuts or their oil are helpful, so pure dried fruit balls would probably not be possible...

In addition, it is best to soak nuts and dried fruit overnight.

Soups can also be heated by blending for a long time, but this takes a few minutes at the highest (and thus loudest) speed level.

An already cooked soup can also be blended briefly in the blender until creamy.

Best regards,

Your GrueneSmoothies.com team

Hi Anna,

thank you very much for the question. As you unfortunately did not describe what you mean by distinction, here comes a more detailed answer….

The Creations 2.0 (VM0109) and the A3500i currently represent the two extremes of the Vitamix product family (also in terms of price).

On the Creations side, you have a technically mature and proven model that has been on the market decades. The technology is compelling and minimalist. The container maximum versatility. No need for a second container. The design looks "retro" to the layman, but is not "retro" but original and unchanged for decades because it works reliably.

The A3500i is again the most innovative model from Vitamix. The container has been largely adopted from the Pro 750 and according to a technician, the container plays at the limit of what is physically possible in terms of collision speed of blade and particles, which leads to a maximum creaminess. Especially with fibrous ingredients, such as wild herbs, you can taste the difference immediately (even as a layman).

Being a specialist for smoothies, shakes and soups (i.e. everything liquid) comes at a price, though: for the most versatile use possible, a second container is needed, like the 1.4-liter container, which is unfortunately not yet available for the A3500i. It is confirmed that it is coming, but the date keeps getting pushed back...

The 1.4 liter container is a great help especially for nicecreams or also pestos if you own the A3500i. So anything with low (unfrozen) liquid content. This is the Archilles heel of the A3500i container, so to speak, which is why the supplementary containers also make sense there.

Furthermore, the A3500i has been optimized in the direction of comfort. You use the 5 time programs as soon as you get used to them. Simply switch on and do something else for a short while...without having to think about switching off. A pleasant relief especially with small children...

Then there is the app, but so far (in our opinion) it does not really add any value. However, the 10-year warranty is a real sign of Vitamix's trust in theire Product.

Not to mention, the top models at Vitamix are not only expensive, but they also look expensive (for those who care).

One that has only been briefly mentioned so far is the Pro 750, the "older" top of the line Vitamix model. The creaminess is on par with the A3500i and the 1.4 liter container is already available here. So if you are currently looking for the best and the price is secondary, you will find it here.

In summary, the A3500i:

- creamy
- 10 years warranty
- looks
- somewhat more comfortable operation

In summary, Creations:

- super robust and proven
- Case more compact
- One container for everything
- first-class price/performance ratio

Hello Anny,

thank you for your question.

The Vitamix Creations 2.0 is one of the few blenders that is already "fully equipped" with the included container. This is a true all-purpose container. The additional containers do not result in any new preparation options!

Therefore, we wouldn't even advise buying the grind container with the Creations unless you already realize that the grind issue is going to be an ongoing one. If you grind several times a week, the container will become milky more quickly and you won't be able to see inside as well. In addition, the compact size of the grinding container makes it easier to empty, especially when grinding small quantities.

If you are unsure, you can start with the Creations without the additional container and as soon as you notice that you grind a lot, buy the grinding container. And if you don't grind as much, you've saved the money and the space.

In any case, have fun with the Vitamix Creations 2.0!

Hello Rita,

thank you for the interesting question.

Pulse function means operating the blender at maximum speed for a short time.

You can simulate this with the turbo button turned on (left) and the on/off button used to turn on the blender as long as the pulse button is to be held down.

Please be sure to lock the lid firmly in place; otherwise there will be some new designs on your kitchen walls ;-)

Your GrueneSmoothies.com team

Hello Isa,

thank you very much for your question.

The Creations 2.0 is perfectly suitable for the preparations you mentioned.

Have fun blending!

Best regards,

Your GrueneSmoothies.com team

Hello Andi,

thank you very much for your question.

The left(!) switch is the turbo switch. Of course, you can pulse with the on/off switch (right). An extra switch for pulsing is not provided.

Hello Tina,

thank you for the question.

The housing cladding is made of plastic.

Hello Markus,

thank you for asking.

If the blender is pulled forward for the blending process, it won't be a problem. However, it will not be possible to lift the container and put it back on when the blender is standing under the wall cabinets.

If the blender was to be used under the wall cabinet, the Vitamix Pro 300 would be more suitable.

Best regards,

Your GrueneSmoothies.com team

Dear Birgit,
Thank you for your message.

Grinding grain is no problem in the supplied container – the results have been very convincing.
The only drawback – which is why many customers still want an additional grinding container: the container becomes “blind” from the inside over time.
If this does not bother you, you can blend and grind everything with the standard container without any problems!:)

Kind regards from Berlin from your
GrueneSmoothies.com service team

Hello Deniz,
thank you for your question.
The difference only is in the warranty period (Creations 5 years and TNC 7 years).
Besides that, both models are identical – same powerful motor and the same practical container.

Best regards from your service team at GrueneSmoothies.com

Hello Jack,
Thank you for your inquiry.

It's true, the Creations is a special edition of the TNC 5200. The motor, blades and bowl shape are identical, all the parts that are important for excellent blending results.
To be able to offer this price saving, the warranty period has been changed from 7 to 5 years. In addition, the offer is limited in quantity.

Kind regards from your service team of GrueneSmoothies.com

Dear Katrin,
Thank you for your question.

An Avocado core is generally no problem for the Vitamix Creations.
If it is particularly large, it makes sense to cut it once or twice beforehand, this makes it easier for the blades to get a grip and the core does not just dance on top of the blades.

Best regards from Berlin from your
GrueneSmoothies.com team

Hello Mike,
Thank you for your question.

The Teflon problem has been solved in August 2015.
As of this date, Vitamix will no longer manufacture these containers, and therefore we will no longer ship the old containers.

Kind regards from your
GrueneSmoothies.com team

Hello Michaela,

thank you for your question.

So if space is not an issue in your kitchen, the 2-liter container would be preferable – especially if you want to prepare nut purée, ice cream or porridge. Such preparations are only possible when the tamper is used and the tamper of the 2.0 liter container reaches the corners of the containers best.

We would rather advise against the preparation of doughs. Crêpe/pancake batter is easy to prepare because of its liquid consistency. Yeast dough will most likely lead to the device going into overheating protection. This is better done manually or with a food processor.

Chopping vegetables, however, works quite well and with similar results, as with food processors.

Happy New Year and best regards
Your GrueneSmoothies.com team

Hello Alexander,

Thank you very much for the question.

The price remains the same if the 1.4 liter container is selected. If this is desired, simply select the "normal" Vitamix Creations and let us know about your choice in the comment section at the end of the ordering process.

Happy New Year and best regards
Your GrueneSmoothies.com Team

Hello Erika,

thank you for the question.

Since these are wedge-shaped blades, they are not shipped sharp, nor do they require resharpening.

The "micro-shredding" is done by collision of the particles behind the wedge and not by the cutting edge in front. This makes the particles much smaller than if they were just "cut".

Deformation of the blades, which would impair the puréeing performance, is therefore unlikely in normal household/private use. However, if this should happen, it is worth calling the Vitamix hotline during the warranty period.

Happy New Year and best regards,
Your GrueneSmoothies.com Team

Dear Gabi,

thank you very much for your question.

This should not happen on flat worktops. Try placing the mixer on a different surface and see how it behaves. If the problem persists, please contact our customer service.

Best regards,
Your GrueneSmoothies.com Team

Hi Klaus,

thank you very much for your question and the laurels!

The Vitamix Pro 500 is not a bad machine, but had a proud price and was eventually discontinued.

The speed throttling is real but is noticeable at most with small quantities, since under heavier load the maximum speed is never reached anyway.

The automatic programs are overrated in our opinion, but ultimately every customer has to answer that for themselves. The actually used application usually takes less than 1 minute and if it takes longer, like with a nut purée for example, the tamper has to be used anyway. Which means, you are standing in front of the machine anyway.
For soups, the automatic programs really make sense if you want to heat the soup for 5 minutes or longer using frictional heat. Depending on the amount, however, activating the automatic program several times is necessary to really heat the soup.

Unfortunately, we currently do not see any alternatives with automatic programs that offer all the advantages of the Vitamix Creation for under 400 Euros.

Best regards,
Your GrueneSmoothies.com team

Hello Helena,

thank you for your question.

Our answer is simple: Vitamix Creations.

The Vitamix S30 is especially recommended if you are looking for a space-saving, high-performance blender. However, this comes at a price:

- The blender gets a little warmer, as you blend longer to achieve a comparable creaminess (Pro tip:Replace water (partially) with ice cubes)
- The container must be unscrewed after each blending process. However, you will probably get used to it over time.

Cleaning the Vitamix Creations, on the other hand, is quicker. The Vitamix Creations also produces slightly creamier smoothies in larger quantities. The cooling of the engine also works more efficiently, and the smoothies are usually hardly heated during blending.

Apart from that, the Vitamix Creations has been tried and tested over decades and still enjoys great popularity. You really can't go wrong with this purchase.

We wish you a lot of fun while blending!

Your GrueneSmoothies.com Team

Hello Helena,

thank you for the question.

The Vitamix Creations is of course an original Vitamix product and bears the type designation VM0109. This corresponds to the same type designation of the Vitamix TNC 5200 or Vitamix Total Nutrition Center, as it is currently called on the Vitamix website.

Since this is a limited color edition, it is not directly advertised by Vitamix.

Best regards

Your GrüneSmoothies.de team

Hello Katja,

thank you for the question.

When you turn on the Vitamix Creations for the first time, a feeling of insecurity tends to creep in because it's unfamiliar to have the container resting so loosely on the motor block. However, it won't tip over. So far, we haven't heard of any cases where this has actually happened. It may wobble a bit at the very beginning, but falling over is very unlikely…

Therefore, Just get started!

Best regards,
Your GrueneSmoothies.com Team

Hello Sonja,

Thank you for your question!

There are advantages and disadvantages with the 1.4l container. Advantage: it fits in the smallest sinks for cleaning after blending. It also is more convenient to use when you have to work with the tamper.

In my opinion, scraping is hardly more difficult with the 2.0l container. With pasty things, you can get the most out with a long ice cream spoon. If you then add a little suitable liquid to the container, you can quickly mix yourself another sweet or savory drink.

Therefore, it is quite difficult to answer the question for you, as only you know what is more important for you.

All the Best,
Your GrueneSmoothies.com team

Hello dear Carola,

thank you for your question.

First of all, the number of blades: From our standpoint, the number of blades has nothing to do with blending result. We know excellent containers with 2 blades – More is not automatically better here.

Klarstein's specifications could not be confirmed by our independent laboratory, in fact, they deviate significantly.
Here is what we measured in idle mode without the container on top:
Klarstein Herakles 2G, 4G, 5G: approx. 25,000 rpm.

This sounds very different from the manufacturer's specifications, but the gap to the Vitamix Creations with approx. 29,000 rpm without the container is not that high.

With 1.5 liters of water in the container (i.e. with greater resistance than air resistance), the Klarsteins 2G, 4G and 5G reached approx. 13,000 rpm. — corresponds to approx. 160 km/h

The Vitamix Creations is still at 18,000 rpm. — corresponds to 250 km/h

What really is impressive is the difference in blade tip speed.
The Vitamix has longer blades and therefore needs significantly more power to maintain the higher rotational speed. This is also expressed in higher power consumption. Vitamix Creations: 950 watts vs. Klarsteins: 700 watts.

This difference in power is possibly responsible for a deviating result in the nut puree production...

By the way, Klarstein is not the only manufacturer that is generous with its own power specifications. Therefore, we only rely on our tests and testing by a laboratory for our product selection.

Best regards,
Your GrueneSmoothies.com team

Hello B. Radtke,

thank you very much for the question.

Up to 1200 watts are required in normal operation.
If the blender is subjected to too heavy a load, such as a very viscous mass, the overload protection kicks in, and it shuts down the device. This happens at about 1600 watts (≈ 2.2 hp).

I hope, I was able to answer your questions!:-)

Best regards,

Your GrueneSmoothies.com Team

Hello dear Aleksandra,

the cleaning brush was unfortunately not available over the weekend. However, supplies have just arrived. As soon as you add the Vitamix Creations to your shopping cart and scroll down, you will see matching accessory products, such as noise cancelling pads, cleaning brush, spatula and the tamper holder.

In our opinion, the most important accessory is the cleaning brush. It is really practical for drinking bottles, cups, glasses, etc. as well.

Best regards and have fun with the Vitamix Creations!

Your GrueneSmoothies.com team

Hello dear Birgit,

thank you very much for your questions and the motivating words!

Yes, there is a spatula for Vitamix blenders:
Spatula 3 cm

Basically, this is a dough scraper with silicone cover that does not leave scratches in the container.
