I already had the full sized Vitamin when I decided to get the little S30. The big one is on a shelf in the pantry because it is just too big for my counter. The little one is great because it can sit on the counter and I use it daily. It doesn't do everything the big one does - won't heat soup, and doesn't pulverize seeds. I love them both, and they both do a great job of certain foods. Once you have a Vitamin, you'll never buy another blender. They are built to last.

This is my third vitamix. I enjoy this blender because of its durability and great warranty. I would like to purchase the dry mixer part.

I bought my S30 from the Vitamix website about two months ago. I love it. The size fits both my food prep needs and my small kitchen. I wanted a unit I could keep on my counter for ease of use and the S30 is that blender. It works fast and cleans easily. There are no down sides to this blender.
