*NEW* VITAMIX FOOD PROCESSOR | is it worth it? review + recipes
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 3. 09. 2020
- The new Vitamix Food Processor is an absolute game-changer. Using the standard blender base as the motor, all you have to do is swap the top container for a 2-in-1 high-powered blender plus food processor!
In today's video I'll review the new food processor, highlight it's features and benefits, and show what makes it unique. To test it out, I'll share a few tasty and healthy recipes. You know I've been a big fan of Vitamix for years, and I have a playlist both on my CZcams channel and website (even more recipes over there!) so make sure to check those out. Enjoy!

#vitamix #foodprocessor #vitamixrecipes - Jak na to + styl
WOW, A couple of years ago or maybe a bit less, I sent a mail to several of the blender manufacturers, asking them to make this, telling them that it makes no sense not to utilize that great motor for more than just blending, that it makes a lot less sense to buy a separate food processor with a weaker motor, that it is the right thing to do for the environment etc etc. I think Vitamix was one of those I mailed. Maybe they listened? đđ No matter if I was the one who gave them a kick in the butt for making this or not, I am really happy that they made it! đđđđ
For easier chocolate curls, take a vegetable peeler and run it along the side or bottom of a chocolate bar. They will be smaller, but easier.
also this way you won't include little pieces of metal (you can see them in hers) in your curls!
@@scofah I wondered about that-and it's an aluminum pan...:(
It looks amazing. Unfortunately also amazingly out of my price range. đ
đ
Exactly what i thougth.
đđđđ
Indeed, I do believe it's great but with this price it's just hard to justify.
Also it only works on the upper in tech and price range base models.đą Iâm very disappointed, Iâm in need of a new food processor and thought this is the answer, but only have a basic Vitamix blender purchased at Costco..itâs not worth up grades.đ„ș
What I really like about this is the snap in place instead of plastic turn and and click in as food processors have. My last food processor plastic broke off so this is a much smarter system I feel. Would make a great wedding gift for my son and daughter in law! ;) Love the concept of less shelf space!
I never understood why there are not more blender/food processor combos. This is great.
I agree! Such a great idea đ
Love it! I have a stainless steel 3500plus bought in 1990! Use it every day and I want a new one but my hubby jokes that itâs only halfway through its life!! He also says the power in the neighborhood dims whenever I turn it on lol
They sure do make durable products â€ïž
Iâve been saving up so I can invest in a vitamix and now Iâm even more excited about the new food processor! I canât wait!
At last!!!!! years asking for this!!!! Thanks for reviewing.
I was really excited for this, until I realized that the food processor bowl only works with the Ascent series base (the most expensive model). I still enjoy my legacy series Vitamix blender that I bought at Costco.
Also works with the Venturist V1200 which is also sold at Costco road shows.
I invested in high end Pro-750 Vitamix. Not compatible at all. And i was in the market for a food processor. Would have been great.
I see the stainless steel jar works on all models, this makes me think that with a bit of tinkering, it may be possible to get the food processor to work on the other models too... hmmmm
The processor is also $450 where I live. You can buy a decent stand alone food processor for less than half that. Vitamix is off their nut. It's polycarbonate and a few metal blades, no electronics or motor. LOL.
@@CormacOSheehan Iâd advise against that. The self detect system on the newer models actually prevents the motor from spinning at top speed while using the food processor, as a safety precaution. Thereâs no such mechanism to regulate the motor speed on the older models. Worst case scenario, the lid flies off along with the blades.
So very well explained, thank you. I bought a Vitamix based on your advice and recipes, canât wait to get the blender! âšđđ«đŹđ§
I just bought a used 5200 Vitamix on Marketplace, she moved into a 160sf apt and just didn't have the room for it any longer. I'm so excited to start using it and trying some of your recipes with it.
Ok Iâm getting one the whole shabang the blender and food processor yayyyy Iâm glad they are all together now! Thank you!
Dear Lisa,
I have been looking into buying my first vitamix for a while and my only draw back was that I would have to have two separate machines ( a blender and a food processor).
Your video finally tipped the scales - I have found the ultimate winner!đ
Thank you
So glad this attachment came right in time as you were thinking about it đ Hope this video was helpful!
Just make sure to get one of the models it works for! Others post about this, it doesnât work with all the Vitamix blenders... đą
@@lottatroublemaker6130 Thanksđđ»
Wow, that cake looks very professional. Just got my Vitamix and I am really excited and looking forward to use it everyday. Thanks đ
To me the most appealing part of it is how high the cutting disks sit. There is no gap between the feeder and the blade which allows produces to be completely sliced. With my current kitchen aid food processor I always end up with a nub of carrot, cucumber etc stuck at the tops and pieces that didn't get shredded.
Yes, there was definitely less scraps that got stuck above the disc.
Not going to lie this video alone was a huge reason why I got the accent series.Just waiting for the processor to go on sale during the holidaysđ
Can't wait for you to get your hands on the food processor! đ
Thanks so much for reviewing the vitamix food processor đđŒ I saw an add of it on IG and was hoping you would do a review of it. Definitely looks like a game changer and love the recipe of the vegan cheesecake looks delicious đ so glad you are doing more vegan recipes for us who are plant based
Goodness. I am so happy that I found your channel. Healthy food for beautiful souls đ
Wow! This is amazing!! I am adding the Vitamix food processor and a new Vitamix to my Christmas list! :) Also, love the recipes!
So a couple of days ago I bought A vitamix, I forgot which one but it was $500. They didnât have the A Series in store so I figured that one would be fine but honestly after seeing this video Iâm ready to take it back and Iâm going to just order this one off-line. You make it look so nice! Love the content of your videos alwaysđ
I am so happy that they have this new attachment I will be getting that as soon as possible but I do think it should have like a French fry blade a dough blade And a Citrus twister. I need my Vitamix to do everything.
I just purchased this Vitamix and food processor. Itâs great. I have the older model Vitamix and I must say, it was worth it to upgrade.
Happy Birthday, Lisa. Thanks for sharing such helpful food information. I have used some of your recipes. And, your previous Vitamix recommendation was influential in my purchase of one last year!
Wow! Great timing! I was looking at a high end food processor, but I have a VitamixđđŒ
That is so awesome!! I love the large chute and the fact that one machine can do double duty!
I am so bummed that I bought a brand new food processor like a year ago. Iâve only used it once. Probably because itâs a pain to get out and figure out and heavy. I wish they came out with this years ago! How amazing is this!!! Great job Vita Mix!
Sell it and get this attachment!
I was excited about this new product but now Iâm over it because itâs never in stock. I love my Vitamix, but will continue to use my equally beloved Cuisinart food processor âșïž
Finally. This is exactly what I was hoping they would make. It just makes sense. I haven't bought a food processor because I heard this was in the works. Thank you so much Vitamix!
You are a food genius. You should have your own TV show on food network. I miss when they put on shows where people actually taught you how to cook and give recipes. Now its always some competition. 1 or 2 are fine. But they just overdo it now. And now when it comes to Halloween and Christmas they start with those like 2 months ahead of time and its on repeat ALL DAY!!! Like enough already. Thank goodness for the internet where people like you teach us so much. I thought I was pretty good in the kitchen but you humbled me haha.
I already treated myself to a Vitamix blender and Iâm just so happy to see thereâs a food processor container available now! Since I live in Germany I hope Vitamix will bring the food processor also to EuropeđđŒđđŒâșïžđ„°
It will not, becuase its not safe enough.
Nice job on review. Easy to follow and thorough. This is a kitchen fantasy! Still saving for the vitamix blender, but will start saving for this too!
I already have a FP I love, so I came here for the food. Dang, it did not disappoint!!đ€€â€ïž
I just ordered the food processor! I have been waiting for it to come back in stock. Thanks for your video and Happy Birthday!!
Awesome! Excited for you to. get your hands on this food processor đ
Hi Lisa. First, I am late but Happy Birthday! Second, thank you for those nice and fancy recipes. I am definitely adding the Vitamix into my wishlist, in the hope to find a discount or big sales someday.
Love it. Was so happy to see it this morning đđŸ
Happened to see the newest Vitamix at Costco today and considered it. I had the Kenwood version of this and have been looking for a replacement. Will have to have another look! Thanks for the timely review.
I had just decided I didn't need this, until I saw your video! Excellent demo and the cheesecake looks to die for.
Brilliant! Was so excited that I almost bought it. Then saw that my unit wonât work. Iâm sad.
OK - I definitely need this! I've been looking for a new food processor and I love that it can just go on top of my existing Vitamix.
Can't beat a 2 in one 1. đ
I got a Breville Sous chef for $100 more than the price for this food processor that comes with multiple attachments and is great to work with. This could have been a great addition if the price point was right. But great recipes btw! Chocolate swirl trick was amazing!
I received the email from Vitamix announcing this little gem and have been considering it. Thank you for reviewing it! I can always trust your opinions about kitchen appliances đđ
Thanks Arian! I always give my honest opinions about products and I can definitely say this attachment is a great option for anyone who owns a Vitamix đ
WOW... Makes life so much easier. You are the Vitamix queen! đ Thank you again for your videos!
Can't beat a 2 in one kitchen tool! đ
Thanks for this insightful video! Love the look of all those recipes. Great job!!
I have an A2500....I woke up to your video and thought I was dreaming....IM SOOOO EXCITEDđđđđđđđđ
Thanks for high quality videos! That cheesecake looks delicious!
Amazing, I use vitamix small cups to make baby food and it's a three-times- use each day and im ready to dive into the vitamix food processor!
Iâm surprised Vitamix didnât have a food processor. Looks amazing. Now I really need to put the vitamix on my Christmas wish list. Thanks for the video.
The time has finally come! đ
yessss ! That what I need 2-on-1 !!!!!!!! I just got a bonus from my workplace! I gotta have this ASAP !! :D
I love cheesecake and am now lactose intolerant so this is fabulous!!! Thank you!
You'll definitely need to give my vegan cheesecakes a try then! I also have a few more on my website as well đ
Our peer group eats dairy anyway. Just at home with easy bathroom access
Just love the food processor addition đ! Itâs on top of my X-mas wishlist đ. If I can wait that long đ€
It's amazing! And loves how much room it saves in my kitchen - given that I'm a minimalist â€ïž
I almost đ€ź when I saw it at William Sonoma for $899.98
You make it look practical though. LOVE your vid as usual
899.98 for real ? Is that a joke?
Ăscar Chagoya yes. And thatâs the starting price. Thatâs without all the bells and whistles đ€
Cooking For BAE I went to Williams Sonoma they donât have it. At 899 I donât think I can afford it tho
Vitamix.com is 199.99
Williams Sonoma is kind of overrated, they have only expensive brands and nothing budget friendly. I recall my mom getting me an imperia pasta machine and it was $90, the imperia actually retails for $50
I have a small home and space is limited. This new Vitamix is 2 machines in one and it packs away well. Just what I need. Thanks for sharing and I hope you had a great Birthday!
I migh have to sweet talk hubby into switching out for this oneđđ. Am totally making the energy balls!đ
I am needing a new food processor and I will have to check this out.....It would make it so much easier than having two machines. Thanks for your video!
Yes! You can't beat a 2 in 1 đ
Loved the video and all the things you showed that can be done with this combo device. Drooling over that cheesecake đ
Wow, I can't believe it!! I've been begging Vitamix to make a processor attachment for 20 years. I haven't even watched yet but I'm going to get it. FINALLY! Although I've learned how to process onions, and carrots and celery and make cauliflower rice with my large jar.
It's finally here! đ
What a wonderful review and recipe!! đđđ
There is no way Vitamix could do a more professional, inspiring and educational ad or guide!
Great job Lisa! And Happy Birthday! đđđ
Thanks! Hope this video gave you some new insights! đ
No Kidding......
We bought ours this past weekend. Excited to try it out! đ€©
Wow! The cheesecake could be best in show at a bake-off contest! Beautifully doneđ
Happy birthday! Excellent job as always.
Looks epic. Just wondering if you can get the same smoothness with the food processor attachment for the cashew part of the cheesecake, as you would from the vitamix?
I am so excited for this. I want to put it on my Christmas wish list, but I don't think I can wait that long!! U bought one of the better Vitamix machines for myself last Christmas, in hopes this attachment will be coming. Thank you for your review.
Of course Amy! Hope this gave you some good insights for what this can do đ
These links are bomb. Vitamix is life. Thanks for this @Downshiftology â€ïž
My grandmother and mother both own Vitamixers!
I don't own one yet - I guess it's up to me to keep up the tradition! đđ
Oh, this looks so cool! I have been in the market for a new food processor. Now I just need to convince my husband.... lol
This will be the perfect gift đ
Great review and while I am interested, per the website, and not mentioned here, it only works with Ascent and Venturist Series :(
Thank you for the review! I just ordered one!
Love this device a lot, also these recipes are amazing and looking yummy
Thanks so much! And yes, this attachment is amazing! đ
Thank you! And have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your love ones â€
Wow! this would be a real game changer. Thanks Lisa for the great demo & kudos to vitamix đđ»đđ»đđ». Does the food processor fit any model vitamix machine?
Thank you soooo much! I have this bundle in my Costco cart but wasn't sure it was worth the extra cost for this - it's a blender/processor bundle. Thank you. Your video convinced me. I'm using several things to make all my sliced and shredded veggies in batches each week and this will save me hours.
Glad it was helpful! It's definitely a great tool to have in your kitchen.
Costco brought me here!!
What a fantastic video! Those recipes look amazing!!!! Great job!!! Xxx
Thank you for the video! I always hoped vitamix would make a food processing attachment. Wish it wasn't that expensive but might be a good investment since I've had my vitamix for over 13 years.
I love your kitchen. It's sooo beautiful. I would be happy cooking in a place like that daily. Like singing all the time.
Love this! Your cake was beautiful â€ïž
I mentioned it already on your Instagram but the birthday dessert you made was delicious. I made it at home and Iâm not the biggest fan of mint chocolate and I thought it was so good! Plus those energy balls are to die for! Will be making those on a regular.
So glad you enjoyed the mint cheesecake already! đ Can't wait for you to try the energy balls next.
Wow!!! This looks so amazing. Makes me want to get the food processor for my vitamix big-time! I have got to try and make that vegan cheesecake. Thanks.
Thanks for the review. I've been eyeing one and I really want this but have no need for the blender, just food processor. I wish they just sell the food-processor and the motor base together. I'll have to think about it but will make my decision this year. So far you won me over as usual lol
Get a Breville Sous Chef with the peel and dice. Youâll love it!
Im going to make this chocolate mint cheesecake for my mom's birthday, i hope she likes it:) its gorgeous and looks Delicious.
If its hand wash only than I definitely don't want it. Thank you for sharing the video. I feel like Vitamix needs to step up a little
Happy belated birthday! đ€đđ I hope you enjoyed your special day. As always, thank you for the great video. Blessings.
There is a sale on the vitamix website right now. $40 off for the food processor container. Iâve wanted it for a while now but knew it would be super expensive. Watching this video again knowing about the sale made up my mind for me lol
I love your videos!!! So informative and now I will purchase that vitamix piece. Thank you for this review.
Glad this was helpful Anna! đ
What a bummer--it only works with self-detect bases like Ascent and Venturist series! It costs $200 and I've already purchased 2 Vitamix blenders and it won't work with either one.
I'm in the same boat! I have two Vitamix and neither one will work. I wish Vitamix was like Kitchen-aid and made attachments that works on all the models!
Iâve got three Vitamixes and this wonât work with any of them. Not cool, Vitamix.
Same problem, here. I can't afford a new Vitamix. The one I have took me a long time to save up for!
agreed
What a bummer!
The compact storage is my favorite feature đđ
It's so great! I'm currently using it as well đ
I moved to the US and had to get a new blender. I loved my Wilfa I had and tried Blendtec and Ninja here but they couldnât even do a regular smoothie, kept blending and blending and it didnât get smooth. My kids asked âwhatâs that black stuff?â when they saw the little blueberry âpeelsâ because the Wilfa blended them. Finally decided to buy a Vitamix and it does the job wonderfully! I also later bought the food processor, extra thin blade because I want finely shredded carrots etc, and some other attachments. Now weâre moving back again and Iâll have pry half a suitcase full of Vitamix stuff đ itâs not as easy to get a hold of there and also way spendier. I will have to buy a new base and wet container because the electricity is different so it wonât work there. I use the Vitamix every day, food processor attachments several times a week. Itâs so so awesome! Especially making caramel balls, just a bunch of dates, vanilla powder (pure black), pinch of salt and just a little bit of coconut oil because the Vitamix is so powerful! It really makes it soooo smooth and I love rolling them into little balls and sometimes dip in melted 85% green & blackâs chocolate.
Do check compatibility, some collects here suggest the US accessories donât fit the non US bases. Let us know what you find out for your specific model and country.
This is amazing! Thank you for this detailed review and demo Lisa, it's super helpful! I'm going to start saving up for this đWill this attachment work with older Vitamix models - is it universal?
Nope. Just the ascent and venturist models
Amazing!!!! Absolutely need to upgrade my vitamix
Happy belated birthday Lisa! Mine is also in August. The Vitamix blender food processor combo is exactly what I am looking for. Thank you for the valuable information.
Glad this was helpful Cindy! đ
I will definitely be investing in one of these, I love the recipesđđđ thĂ© vegan cheesecake looks amazing!! As well as the energy balls, canât wait to try this! Thanks again LisađŠ
Whaaaaat??!!! Can Vitamix get any better?? Just add your food processor accessory and you will instantly acquire superpowers in the kitchen. AMAZING
Looks fantastic and great for my tiny kitchen. Christmas is coming đ„°
Love this equipment and save a lot of time .. Lisa, I like your video.
Wow...this looks very unusual but super tasty!! I'm going to try this..thanks for sharing...
Hope you enjoy the recipes! đ
I'm going to buy both! That is a game changer!
Wonderful review and great recipes. Hope you had a great birthday!
Loved this video!
This is surely most genius invention of 2020, fantastic đ
A great thing to come out of 2020! đ
Happy birthday, Lisa đThe cheesecake looks divine.
Well worth it, great investment and cuts down on chopping etc.
Happy Belated Birthday đ I absolutely love your videos! â€ïžđ€â€ïžđ€
