D..
There will be no buyer's remorse the first time you make soup with it, I promise you! Did you know that you can make hot, steaming, potato/chicken soup that makes your mouth water when you smell it "cooking" in the vitamix? It is to DIE for, I promise!
And it makes a damn fine pitcher of margharitas too!
Don't return it. Use it, experiment with it. Buy frozen fruits and some protein powder and flax seed - very delicious and very healthy.
And try that particular soup - wow!
