So far the only con is that in addition to standard noise there is quite a bit of vibration from the device which I'm more concerned about when blending early and the sound may not reach the neighbors but the vibration will. I set it atop a thick oven mit to absorb the vibration which seems to work (tested with something set on the counter and watch for movement caused by vibrations before and after). The other con is that even though the to-go cup is awesome, you have to carefully plan the items going into your smoothies and optimize it to allow it to not overflow when you put on the blending blade. Since inside the cup there are 4 convex rails that run along the length of the cup (I think maybe to facilitate bringing items into the blade) and reduce the volume of what can actually go in, especially solids like ice and frozen fruit. I've underestimated how much can go in, overfilled it with liquid and when you put on the blade it will overflow. You have some leeway because the blade itself has some extra space, but most of the overflow is caused by liquid spilling through the loose threads (which isn't a bad thing, as it makes it easy to put on and the gasket really does the work to seal the device, another wonderfully user oriented design I love).
Overall I have no regrets on this purchase other than that you can downgrade and get a refurbished model from the vitamix website itself. I found the smoothie setting just runs it on a low setting first to break down the items and the nramps it up to about 7-8 for the duration for further blending. Either way the smoothies setting is useful for me to walk away and do other things while it's blending, which I actually like. Great Product
The smoothie usually is done is 30 seconds. Nice! To be fair, this blender is pretty noisy. I certainly don't want to keep it running for over a minute. Fortunately the motor is so powerful that what used to be done in 2 min on the beehive can be done in 30 sec. Not bad for a busy morning. And I also like that all the removable parts are dishwasher safe. Have it for 6 weeks now. Very happy with it so far.
UPDATE 7/19-The blade assembly had nicks in it. I called Vitamix & they are sending out another blade assembly. They were helpful, considerate, & very professional.
