Blender Machine

I'm looking to get the Bosch, my current console is simply not big enough. If I am going to spend as much money as I want to know how the mixer works attached. I understand that it can crush ice, but it can make soup and heat, sauces, etc. like the Vita-Mix?

After almost 20 years of hard use my Bosch Universal eventually died. I LOVE Bosch and we look forward to saving for another. I used the blender a lot, but he does not know the same thing as the VitaMix. Absolutely NOT wimpy. I can not recommend the Bosch enough. Flag
