We've had ours for 6 years and it is one of our essential and most used pieces of kitchen equipment. We use it mainly for smoothies, ice creams and grinding nuts and occasionally use it for soup (the Thai ginger one is my favourite). Before we got it I had no idea that it would become so important but I would find it difficult to be without it now.

I did quite a lot of research into the Vitamix as it's such an expensive piece of equipment. In the end I found this machine which is at least of the same quality as the Vitamix (probably better if comparing reviews and technical specs). It is much cheaper than the Vitamix so possibly an easier decision to make. We've had the Enpee for a few years now and would not be without it, it's absolutely fantastic. Super powerful, amazing piece of kit.

Just to add, I did go ahead with buying my Vitamix. When it first arrived, I was a bit disappointed as it looked like a standard, but very expensive blender and the recipe book didn't seem too exciting. I seriously thought that I had been "had" and was thinking I was going to have to send it back. However I made my first soup, Borscht, and was immediately converted: it was absolutely amazing, the texture was really smooth and creamy. Then I made a hollandaise sauce in five minutes, which was excellent. Then some green smoothies (nothing to throw away and very easily cleaned (unlike my juicer) and then some hummous.


I can easily see myself using this everyday, and I can see why it was so expensive. I think the number of times I use it will justify the cost. Sales pitch over, but thought I should answer my own question.

      East Dulwich station is..."C tier"? 😥

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      Or at least says vaguely_mundane, a transport enthusiast on a mission to visit and rate every single station on the Underground and Overland networks. His videos are strongly hypnotic, affectionate and fun. And he's got a point. It is a bit odd that North Dulwich is one stop south of East Dulwich... https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNTbY9wMFOw/

      Gail's Development of the Brick House - planning permission?

      I’d just like local family businesses to not be shut down by big chains, and I think we should support local businesses and our community. I’m sure they are very nice people who pay their taxes too.

      Avaaz Petition: STAND WITH JEWISH VOICES FOR JUSTICE

      By IlonaM · Posted

      You may have seen an article in the paper today about Jewish leaders and notables calling on the UN and world leaders to sanction Israel [https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/oct/22/jewish-notables-open-letter-un-sanction-israel], "... Prominent Jewish figures around the world are calling on the United Nations and world leaders to impose sanctions on Israel over what they describe as “unconscionable” actions amounting to genocide in Gaza. Over 450 signatories, including former Israeli officials, Oscar winners, authors and intellectuals have signed an open letter demanding accountability over Israel’s conduct in Gaza, the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. The letter’s release comes as EU leaders meet in Brussels on Thursday amid reports they plan to shelve proposals for sanctions over human rights violations. “We have not forgotten that so many of the laws, charters, and conventions established to safeguard and protect all human life were created in response to the Holocaust,” the signatories write. “Those safeguards have been relentlessly violated by Israel.” ..."   There is also a petition we can sign to support them in their call for justice: Direct link: https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/stand_with_jews_demand_action_loc_cp1/?tUwBCsb&v=502713833&cl=22394973010&_checksum=7dc99acb5dd4fc5a43a24e21772f51005ea239753e9ae3033d9f79ffd6119559 "For the first time since the ceasefire, a powerful coalition of Jewish voices have come together, urging world leaders to keep the pressure up until real accountability and freedom are achieved.Their call can shift the political mood and give leaders courage to act decisively -- Amplify their voices and stand with them: The demands of Global Jewish Voices: To respect and abide by the decisions of the International Court of Justice, noting their application also in the West Bank and East Jerusalem; to apply arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court; and to resist efforts to unduly pressure and influence and prevent the workings of both courts. To refuse any complicity in continued crimes and violations of international law against Palestinians by Israel, including by ending the provision of arms and other relevant goods and services; to use relevant leverage, including targeted sanctions on governmental bodies and individuals responsible for violations of international law, and suspension of relations with commercial entities contributing to these violations. To ensure that humanitarian assistance reaches all Palestinians in Gaza at the scale that is commensurate to their vital need, that the blockade is lifted and materials for reconstruction enter, and that there is a full Israeli military withdrawal. To refute false accusations of antisemitism that abusively deploy our collective history to tarnish those with whom we stand together in the pursuit of peace and justice. If you are of Jewish heritage you can also sign here, and we will add the number of your voices to support the Jewish call for justice. Posted: 22 October 2025"
