I enjoy having multiple options and or attachments if possible, but I don’t want to sacrifice any individual functionality. Something reliable would be a pre-requisite.

    I have actually used one for hummus (although not nut butter, which I DO do) and it does work well. However there are 2 inherent problems: hummus is sticky and gets flung to the sides and sticks, so you have to go in with a spatula several times during your blend to scrape the sides. The second is that the bottom is narrow, because it’s a blender of course, and the blades take up a lot of that small space, so getting your hummus out of there is annoying and difficult, and there’s always a lot of waste because you can’t get it all.

      Yeah, I get you on that stuff. If it helps, when making hummus (oof, it’s been a while), I’ve found that adding oil or water helps with that kind of thing. And I happen to greatly prefer creamy hummus to thick, so…

      Alternatively, what I’ve done, after manually removing as much as I can, is to add some water (doesn’t need to be too much) cover the container, and shake it all around. Then pour the result back in to your main hummus, mix, and Bob’s your avuncular figure. You should be able to get most of the goodness that way.

      Last thing-- I do believe Vitamix makes a huge range of models, so I’d guess that there would likely be fat-bottomed models as well. (thanks, Freddy)
