Do you need this blade in order to make nut butters with the Vitamix professional series?

You need the blade plus the dry blender. There will be very few customers who will just need to buy this blade.

No. The product doesn't come with any spare blades. But the blades that come with each of the three jars do look interchangeable. However, I haven't tried this myself.All the blades do perform the mixing/grinding/mincing functions.

I bought this item to make nut butter for my raw food restaurant where we make our own almond butter. The most efficient way I have found to do this is to first process the nuts in a cuisanart until they are pretty fine, then add them to the stone grinder. We add almond oil for a smooth consistency. If you leave the top of and help it along with a spatula for the first five minutes and then let it go for another five. Another review said you shouldn't let it run for more than a half hour because the motor isn't that strong and it usually takes less than ten minutes to make about 4 cups of almond butter.

I haven't tried to make peanut or almond butter with it, because I use my food processor. But I don't think you should make nut butters with it, because you're not supposed to leave the nutribullet running for more than a minute, and it takes about 12 minutes to make smooth nut butters. Hope that helps!

I really don't know. I would first research how other people make nut butter, what kind of tool they use. If they say a blender then I see no reason why you could not use this for that then.

I'm sure you could, We made chocolate and it turned out very smooth, Nut butter would probably turn out good. You would probably want to pre-grind the nuts a little but cause large pieces can bind the machine up. the texture you get would probably be close to nuttella as opposed to peanut butter.

No, it only has the one blade. Really, it's the only one needed. It purees any fruit or vegetables that's been cooked to a soft consistency .it is not for mashing .

I don't really know. I'm guessing this won't work but if you have another recipe you can use the nuts for, in case it doesn't make peanut butter, I'd say go for it. I do bet a good food processor might give you something akin to peanut butter, however.Perhaps there are attachments for this machine that will do that; just don't know.

You will not be able to properly mix all of you ingredients with this tool. It works great for cutting butter into pie dough.

Depends if your going to do nut butters. I think just blending ice and smoothies you would be fine with the other one. Its a great blender

no wrong application the food processor attachment is better utilized for this application. You cant get peanut butter from bottom of blender out cleaning would be nightmare

My Vitamix is Model VM103 and someone in my comments section told me it was the 5000. It does not come with a blade or a wrench. I already had both and just switched the blade to the new container. It is still working fine and I am enjoying smoothies, etc. once again.

I dont think you need it. I just roll flat sheets at the desired thickness. No cuts needed you can't do with a knife.

I am not sure, but if you go to the Phillips web site and put in your model number, it will tell you the blades you need.

yes! I compared this to the vitamix and decided to keep this one for 1/10 the price. It made both almond and coconut butters just as smooth as well a blending the greens in green smoothies. The only difference is it takes a few minutes longer. Keep tamping at the edges and it will liquify then let it run for a few minutes...I leave the room :)

Even though the instruction said you can grid up to 2 cups of grain at a time, but I found that this container perform at its best when you grind 1 cup at a time and I don't need to use temper when grinding grain, I grind 45sec only. But when I make nut butter I still need my temper. Vitamix makes their containers to fit all the model, so don't worry, it will fit yours too.

You can. I crushed almonds with this for a recipe. This will make nut butter but you have to put the nuts through the machine again and again to get a better consistency.
