Linda,
I am down visiting my daughter and her family. I am able to use her internet. She has a Vita-Mix which I am looking at right now. It does indeed have two containers for blending--one for wet and one for dry (for grains). The blades are slightly different. Also, the thing I like about the Vita-Mix is that the power speed is a knob you can slowly adjust while blending, whereas the Blendec HP3 only has buttons which you can not adjust. If you push the buttons, they will suddenly stop, and start over from the beginning. The Vita-Mix also has a pole plunger that goes down into the container to get the producer or whatever you're blending to stir things to make them blend better. My daughter just told me it is designed to not hit the blades. I find with the HP3 I sometimes have to open the top after turning off the motor and hand stir the food and/or add water until I can get it to spend.
I bought the HP3 from a clinic and was impressed with the fact that it could pulverize the avocado pit. The Vita-Mix is the originator of this type of blender. They have been selling it for eons. They have a mass marketing campaign and the experience. HP3 has simply copied and added one feature.
If I had my choice, I would go with the Vita-Mix, not that I am unhappy with my HP3. How ofter are you going to chop up an avocado pit? The Vita-Mix has many more features than the HP3. Be sure with either that you put your hand on the blender top while the motor is running; otherwise you will have food on your ceiling.
Hope this helps,
NANCY
I bought the HP3
