The Vita Mix was one of our first purchases after our small house in town sold 12 years ago. We've kept up the warrantee and the same unit is still serving us sometimes three times a day!
We grind almonds, grain for bread, salad dressings, smoothies and then blend soapy water to clean it:).
One tip: the dishwasher is not a good place for the blender container and don't submerge the base of the container in water either-- we had to replace some parts after doing that.
We make green drinks too, with unsweetened canned pineapple and fresh spinach. I've heard parsley or mint is fun to add.
You can use the wet or dry blade container to grind almonds, but not more than about two cups at a time. If you want to make almond butter, you will want to roast them or add a couple tablespoons of oil after they are ground to powder. For this we use grape seed oil.
Jodavid discovered something that helps reduce the noise. He pops popcorn in the pantry with the door closed. Now we do this with our Vita Mix too.
