The real bottom line is near the end of the article:

I have a vitamix and I make smoothies with it. Plus, I can make ice cream with bananas + carob powder or cacao powder. This seems really pointless.

About 30+ years ago my local supermarket had a machine that would take a box of oranges and make juice out of it and it would pour it right into a bottle. All for less than $400.00. You would set it and walk away. It was fun to watch it go. Much better than what this machine seems to do.

New tech does not guarantee new and better ideas. This is a prime example.
