The heat generated depends on the amount of time you blend it. I use it
every day to make a blend of fresh and dried fruit and vegetables and
seeds. I run it for 30 seconds at which time it is not even warm. I also
use it for dog food. I have not tried bones, but raw liver or meat mixed
with vegetables works to get my dog to eat his veggies which he hates.
Im intrigued by Green Power but still feel the whole plant is better.
Also, nothing could be easier than the Vita Mix to clean. I just rinse
it and its done nor dis/assembly.
