I have both the Vitamix machine and the Champion juicer. I juice organic apples, carrots and ginger using the Champion juicer then put this juice into the Vitamix with ice, strawberries and wheatgrass. Works beautifully. No need to let the Vitamix blender heat up your juice...10 seconds at the highest speed will not get anywhere close to destroying the nutritional value of the food....So go ahead with the Vitamix.
