Can I use a vita-mix in the place of a frothing pitcher for milk for my coffee?

If so what are some tips about using a blender instead?

If you put cold milk in a pan on the stove and whisk it while heating, you’ll get hot frothed milk almost as good as any from a pitcher.

I do this when making cappuccinos for a group of people.

A blender will just give you cold milk with some bubbles.

I have a Kitchen Aid blender (model KSB465WHO), is it supposed to be so loud?

I bought this blender about two months ago at Sears because it was on sale and now, when I use it, it makes a really noisy sound… Is this normal?

I am sorry to say but………… I am glad I am not the only one who thinks that.

I purchased mine because I do power shakes everyday and the cheaper ones have such a high pitch to them ….I figured KitchenAid would be better.
It doesn’t have that high pitch, but more of a grinding type noise ….I was kind of disappointed …I think it is more in the blades.
I have to find the sweet {spot so to speak} by rotating the position on the blender so it’ not as loud. At some point I will replace the blades to see if I am correct in my assumption.
