cin Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I've been reading different things about this. I asked DH for the grain attachment for my Kitchen Aide this year, but have read some things about grinding them in a vitamix. We need a new blender, so I'm wondering if this wouldn't work better? Do I need an attachment to grind them in the vitamix? TIA ETA I would be getting a lower end one. Probably the one that Costco sells.

QuirkyKapers Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Yes- unfortunately, it is a separate attachment. At least, when I bought mine they had one for wet foods and another for grains etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am researching Vitamixes as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cin Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 eek. And in researching, that extra part costs more than the grinder for the kitchenaid. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuirkyKapers Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I bought mine at Costco. I don't remember if the grain attachment was that cheap. I wanted to buy it and thought the price was too high. Of course, after having bought the Vitamix itese;f, $10 probably would have seemed to high:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy in Indy Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 The Vitamix on the Costco website includes wet and dry containers. Would you need something else besides? I've been thinking of saving for one of these. For $650, the food should jump in and fix itself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoggirl Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Where is that? On their website, I only see it for $144. Right now, both the 200 and 500 series are $100 off. Plus you can get an additional container for $50. At least that's what they told me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
